Boom On!
Selling to the Boomer Consumer
Give your team the competitive edge, providing them with the tools, intelligence and strategies needed to motivate the most lucrative market segment in history: the boomer generation.
Baby boomers constitute the most lucrative market segment in history, controlling 67% of the nation’s wealth, with over $2.1 trillion spent annually on consumer goods and services.
Within this segment, boomer women plus, the fastest growing of all demographic segments, comprise over 50 million consumers, clients and customers, and influence up to 80 per cent of purchase decisions in everything from financial and automotive to technology and retail sales.
In this keynote, training or retreat, Dr. Carol Orsborn will cover:
- What really motivates boomers to make an improvement in their lives, solve a problem or try something new?
- “Just say no” to terminology that boomers find offensive
- Why life stage is more important than age
- What is it about this generations’ formative years and history that provide usable insight into the boomer personality?
- Which of three stages of psychological, emotional, social and spiritual development is your prospect in—and how does that impact the approach you should take?
- How can you factor in such differences as ethnicity, life stage, geography, economic and marital status?
- Who are the key influencers and how can you make word-of-mouth work for you?
