Did you know that according to many studies, the gens X and Y will be the dominant force in our market? No matter what your generation, think about understanding the others. The Internet has made the gap between generations more significant than in the past so embracing it may be something to think about for those of you that want to stay current in your business. Since all the Social Networking has caught fire, how we communicate has changed in leaps over a VERY short period of time.
What does this all really mean? It means that if you are working with our Seniors, don’t be frustrated if they don’t text or check email on a regular basis, if at all. This is not to say that Seniors do not use the Internet, many of them do. All I’m saying is to be able to make that shift. If you are a Boomer, you probably know how to use a lot of the networking and Internet resources but your younger clients expect things instantly because they have grown up with all the information in the world, literally, has been at there fingertips within seconds.
The study has been very interesting to me and I have learned volumes. There is a way to deal with everyone if you take a minute and try to understand where they are coming from but no doubt we are in a quick evolution in the world of communication.
If you haven’t seen the YouTube Video “The New World Of Work” take the time to view it. Sums it up pretty well. Here is the link if you haven’t seen it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL6GTqvtYHM
