About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Michael McMillan, President of Financialize, Featured on Influential Entrepreneurs Podcast: Why Verified Insurance Leads Matter

By: Get News

Michael McMillan, President of Financialize.com, was recently featured on the Influential Entrepreneurs Podcast, where he shared insights into the future of insurance lead generation and what sets Financialize apart in a crowded market.

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-michael-mcmillan-president-of-financialize-discussing-lead-generation-for-financial-advisors/

Why Verified Leads Are the Future of Insurance Lead Generation

In today’s competitive financial services market, not all leads are created equal. “Verified data and real intent are what separate a junk lead from a real opportunity,” McMillan explained. “We’re giving agents guidance, support, and training on how to actually engage with these leads, because if our agents win, we win.”

McMillan revealed that out of their tens of thousands of leads produced each month, only about 22% pass Financialize’s rigorous verification process before reaching agents. This strict filtering ensures that agents receive leads with accurate contact information and a genuine interest in annuities, life insurance, or Medicare coverage.

Exclusive Insurance Leads: Why They Convert Better

One of the biggest differentiators discussed was lead exclusivity. At Financialize, every verified lead is assigned to a single agent. This exclusivity eliminates the “race to the bottom” that occurs when multiple agents chase the same prospect. Instead, agents can approach each lead with ownership and confidence, which increases conversion rates.

Balancing Automation with Human Connection

While automation plays a role in reminders and scheduling, McMillan stressed that the human touch remains critical. Even the highest-quality insurance leads require skilled advisors to engage personally and build trust.

“Every agent needs to know their pipeline is real,” McMillan said. “That confidence drives better conversations, stronger client trust, and ultimately higher conversion rates.”

Building Smarter Pipelines with Verified Data

From high-intent insurance leads who are ready to act now to longer-term prospects who may require nurturing, McMillan encourages agents to take a strategic approach. By combining verified lead data, exclusivity, and advisor coaching, Financialize helps agents maximize every opportunity in their pipeline.
