We Know: It’s competitive out there and every member of your team must know more and do more to achieve more!
We Know: You care about your Customers, your Communities, your Teams' Success, your Bottom Line.
We Know: Exceptional and age-relevant customer services will lead to exceptional results.
We Know: Boomers and Seniors are your ideal customers.
• Boomers and Seniors represent almost 50% of our population • Boomers and Seniors hold up to 80% of all assets • Boomers and Seniors are responsible for 50%+ of all discretionary spending.... yet....
• While 80% of Boomers have BIG spending power, 40% of Boomers feel ignored, and many seniors feel downright invisible.
The opportunity is even bigger than you think. You may think some of your products and services are targeted to millennials -- but do you know who are actually making the buying decisions and paying for the technology, toys, children's clothes, education, and vacations? Who are co-signing loans and mortgages? Can you afford not to know more?
Did You Know?
• 82% of those polled stated that customer experience is the most important aspect that a business can offer to differentiate itself from its competition. (Deloitte 2013)
• 62% of consumers switched their loyalties because of poor customer experience. (Accenture, 2013)
• 70% of the buying experiences are based on how that customer feels they are being treated. (McKinsey Company)
Rather than being disturbed by these statistics, astute businesses recognize the tremendous opportunity for those who care enough to learn more, serve better, and be recognized for their efforts.

Can Your Team Afford Not To Know More?

"I have attended far too many workshops, seminars and conferences to mention in my 20-year career, but I have never been so honoured to have been part of a workshop as I now am after being here...
