Old...what is Old...here's a fun story for All

   SO , are you Old ?
 
   Feeling Old ?

   Being told that you Are Old ?

 Well, don't Hang it up just yet

 .....Read this excerpt from:
     Roy H. Williams... www.MondayMorningMemo.com     

   In 2003, the Las Vegas Hilton...on the stage where "Elvis appeared when he played Vegas".
  Roy was informed that his audience, coming from US, Canada, England, and Australia-
  all 1600 of them- are involved in the promoting 'fairs' in their areas.

  The purpose of this event was to address how to get the needed information collected 
[attendance #, highest draw entertainers, etc],
...presently utilizing the print media / Magazine approach. 
 
1600 members & delegates waiting to hear important, helpful messages.   

When Roy quizzed the Chairman of the association Board "

...."You don't have a website?"   
                                      
...."Son, the average age of the people you're about to address is 72 years old. many ...over 80. there's
     no one in the house younger than 65. these just aren't Internet people".

 Once on stage Roy:
... removed his shoes [ 'Elvis' had been on this same Stage];
... studied the crowd in front of him
... Raised his hand, and "How many of you have used a search engine in the past 7 days to research a
      purchase you were considering?"  

 SIXTEEN HUNDRED HANDS:
  ...went UP, simultaneously.

ENJOY.             

Thank you, Roy H. Williams

What's that saying about assuming? It makes a what out of you and me?

Cute story, and a good reminder that old ain't dead yet! Merry Christmas!

Barb and Sal - not so old even some of our "younger" sales representatives do not have a web site.

Hi Kathy...Happy New Year to you; true we are old [getting older as the hours pass] LOL; but being old is only a 'fact of nature'; acting old is a choice.
Thanks for the comment & for stopping by; can't wait until February for the Winter Olympics in your country.
