Are You an Advocate For Seniors?

I have a few things that really bother me personally.  Taking advantage of people particularly children, the disabled, and senior citizens.  Recently I found an advertisement for a computer for senior citizens.  This computer had a list price of around $1,300 and was on sale for around $1,080.  Sound great, but a laptop computer with much more speed, memory and features could be purchased for around $500.  I saw another advertisement for a senior cell phone plan that was also much more expensive for similar plans available from other carriers.  Does this offend you?  It definitely offends me.

My clients provide services to senior citizens, people with disabilities, and children.  Do you advocate for them to ensure they are treated fairly.  A good example is Medicare which was established to provide coverage for many services for people 65 and over and for some people who are disabled.  How is the Medicare program treating the providers, physicians and suppliers of these services?  In recent years with RAC, ZPIC, CERT, and MAC audits of claims, I would say they are treating all of them very poorly.  It appears that they are Guilty until proven innocent with potentially many years before a fair hearing. 

Now back to being an advocate. Let’s try to advocate for our senior citizens, people with disabilities and children.  Did you know that the fasting growing percentage of people using Facebook are seniors.  Do you and your employees volunteer at the senior centers, community centers, assisting living facilities, or personal care homes.  Maybe that might be a good idea.  You and your employees have tremendous amounts of expertise disease management, diet, exercise, and medication compliance.  You also have employees who could teach seniors how to use computers and other technology.  You could teach classes on Facebook and other software.  You could show the elderly where and what technology they could purchase and at a fair price.  Let’s all become advocates for senior citizens, people with disabilities and children with critical needs. We have found that it we receive more than we give when we spend time with our Seniors.  We think that you will also.

We have two excellent speakers that will present topics on Marketing, Branding, Leadership and Social Media at our four Las Vegas Seminar in late January and early February.  Richard Martin has worked with companies around the nation helping them to promote their business.  Cheri Martin is an expert in Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter and has help companies to learn how to add these skills to their marketing plan.  They will present several sessions that will help you implement these skills and techniques to your company.  There is more information about the seminar below.
