While much emphasis has been placed on generations X and Y and the Millennial in our society, Howard points out the incredible buying power and influence of this record setting generation. Consumer spending is the backbone of our economy, so the best thing any business in America could do right now is to learn how to sell to Boomers. It's not only good business, it is good for the economy!
Show co-host Sheryl Dawson shared, "Steve Howard has his finger on the pulse of the Boomer generation. His analysis of their purchasing motivations and styles are right on target - I know, because I am one of them!"
Co-host Ken Dawson added, "You may be asking what boomer selling has to do with careers. As Steve points out, consumer spending represents two thirds of the economy and Boomers have 70% of the country's wealth. Those statistics are proof that a great reservoir of economic buying power is waiting to be tapped. When it flows into the economy, job and career opportunities will be enhanced as well. Listen in for practical techniques to improve your company's sales strategies and win over a loyal customer base."
