What a great lunch we had today!  Lola's presentation was timely and accurate for today's market.  I was impressed with all the stats she told us about for the future.  Did you know that the largest group of people who will/can speak English is not American's?  It will be China!!! 

She talked about the baby boomer generation who is known as the "ME" group and the new generation that is now known as the "WE" group.  This was new to me and very exciting to learn.  As this is our up and coming market/clients and we better get to know them better and learn how to appeal to them, or we will loose our share of the market place.

As she was talking about this, I was thinking of my young couple who I have been helping, and they prefer to text me about "stuff".  Homes they would like to see, when they want to meet......etc.........

I am lucky I have a son who most of us would refer to as a "geek"!  He keeps me updated and teaches me all the new technology.

Lola said (not in her words) that one of the reasons they are known as the WE group is due to the fact they all share things about each other on line............twitter, face book and other sites like these.  She mentioned that twitter asks what are you doing..................

Response from the "ME" group ................... none of your business

Response from the "WE" group..............let me tell you all about it......................

I do not know how old Lola is, and I am not going to ask her..............but I am impressed how she keeps up with the times and is not fearful for the future..........meaning she is not afraid of new marketing idea's and the younger generation...........her ability to reach all ages, and her open mind!

So Lola thank you for sharing your time and experience with us today!  It is always a pleasure!!!!

Lola has also blogged about the day here.
