VIP Marketing and Sales Plan for Holiday Rush

November 28, 2023

VIP Sales and Marketing Plan to Find VIP Concierge Clients -Will Make You a Profit this Holiday Season

You need a VIP Sales and Marketing Plan to find Concierge Clients, especially during pre and post-winter holidays when Hannuka, Christmas, and Kwanzaa celebrations bring the long distance and local family together. When all adult children see how older parents have declined, they will call you if you have a great marketing plan to reach out to them. Transform your agency into a profitable business by revamping your sales and marketing plan to find concierge clients for your care management agency this holiday season.

Why- a geriatric care manager is a powerful health care concierge, just like the new concierge medical services. This is a strong selling point in a VIP sales and marketing plan to convert potential GCM clients in the top 10% income brackets who make holiday visits and are shocked by their aging parents’ downswing, then call a care manager.

What Great Benefits and VIP Pain Relief You Bring To The Concierge Client

As a geriatric care manager, you relieve the pain of VIP adult children by offering highly personalized aging parent care. When you find concierge clients, you will keep them long-term because they can reach you almost any time to solve the pain of their parent care problems. You build a deep relationship with the client and family. As a GPS through elder care, the GCM helps them step by step through one of the hardest and most painful journeys of their life. A geriatric care manager’s highly personalized service meets all the needs of the VIP aging family and the client. GCMs are like concierges at a 5-star hotel; they are there to serve families by solving their caregiving problems and making elder care more seamless.

But here is a deal-breaker: many care managers did not know they must have. To find concierge clients, you need a sales and marketing background to do an intake, show the adult children how you will relieve their caregiver pain, and sign -up them up for your services.

Plus, you need a menu of services with products for wealthy clients, especially VIP Care Management Services, as not all aging parents have the same problem. The rich, even you and I, relate to these products. After all the gifts we give during holidays, we usually buy these products as gifts. Finally, you must add these great benefits to these VIP Clients into your Sales and marketing plan.

How Storytelling at Thanksgiving Can Give Elders A Happier Family Holiday

November 20, 2023

Want to increase aging parents’ and everyone’s enjoyment at Thanksgiving? Try storytelling at Thanksgiving using elders’ memories.

As an aging professional, you can bring joy to an older person through reminiscence, storytelling, and oral history for elders

This Thanksgiving, if you really do travel to a family home or grandma’s house, travel safely If not make the safest choice, stay home and use Zoom and include your elderly

parent. You can do oral history for elders if they can use a computer or have a family member or friend who visits often and who lives nearby and is in their bubble serve and share Thanksgiving dinner at their home and use zoom with them to see other family members on the holiday.

Share Your Thanksgiving Story

If you are at a family member’s holiday dinner and use reminiscence for elders by asking everyone to tell their favorite story about a Thanksgiving dinner. Start with midlife members to get the idea and then ask

again parents to share their stories.

Oral history for elders will bring extra thanks to Thanksgiving by learning about an elder’s past and giving them the opportunity to share, which sometimes they do not do in the hubbub of family talking.

The “telling ” also means someone documents. That magically gives the elder and a child social interaction and connectedness. Elders vividly recall their past by telling stories from vignettes in their life – especially life in their 20’s, which sparks the richest recall called the “20’s bump”, according to researchers.

Elders sharing stories means passing on history.

So try storytelling at Thanksgiving, and it becomes intergenerational. The older person is given a chance to give the larger picture of their life and family history to children and grandchildren or extended family, who may not have heard all the details of their grandparents’ or parents’ lives before. My 10 grandchildren have grown up with their now 80-year-old grandfather. telling them exciting stories of when he was a California Highway patrolman. So a dual dose of a higher quality of life for the older person and the aging family is increased through oral history and reminiscence.

Capture Your Families Past Before It Is Gone

Many midlife adults now do ancestry and regret not asking older family members questions when they were alive. Capture that past now on this family holiday. An aging professional or a geriatric care manager can suggest family or friends record the Thanksgiving story as oral history using technology like an i Phone or i Pad.

Story Telling at Thanksgiving with Story Worth

Another great idea to capture reminiscence for elders is giving them StoryWorth.

My daughter sent this gift to her Dad and me; he and I love it. Each week StoryWorth sends a question to my husband that prompts him to write about his past. He writes his reminiscence out longhand and I easily use the dictation on my phone and email his story to Story Worth.

At the end of the year, my daughter will order a bound book of all the stories- a whole collection of memories, an oral history of an elder father that she might never think to ask and will be saved for her and her children to pass on family history. I will order a copy for all her three siblings. Equally important, my husband and I enjoyed writing about his past, and the prompts have brought many vivid memories back to him.

How To Find Adult Children in the Holiday Rush

November 9, 2023

Find Adult Children of VIP Clients During Holiday Rush, *Use a Speakers Bureau***

The Holiday season is the busiest time for care managers. Adult children see their aging parents at ritual holiday gatherings, Thanksgiving, Hannakka, Christmas, New Year’s, and Kawanza, and are shocked by the deterioration of their loved ones. Most do not know what a care manager is or how to find you, so you must find adult children now.

Find adult children in your area using Free PR Through a Speaker’s Bureau. Creating a Speakers Bureau is the best way to find worried, sometimes desperate adult children who are wondering how to approach their failing and frail adult parents who many times ignore their children’s pleas to get care.

Speakers Bureau to Find Adult Children

You create a Speaker’s Bureau by putting together Hot Topics, like “Handling the Stress of Caregiving, “Warning Signs When YourParent Needs Care,” which is especially relevant to those adult children during the holidays who find coal in their stockings on the holidays.

Tasha Beauchamp, an Aging Life Care Webmaster Research Scientist and co-owner of Elder Pages Online, LLC had this tip in an ALCA blog about in-person presentations.

“You provide enough information to demonstrate your expertise, but as someone mentioned already, not enough detail that you are giving away the store. One way to get an insight into what people are interested in and will attend a Speakers Bureau presentation is to look at the top eldercare-related searches on Google compiled by the Pew Internet Project:” according to Tasha Beauchamp, Aging Life Webmaster, and Research Scientist. Beauchamp says Handling the Stress of Caregiving is at the top of the list.

Get my new Speakers Bureau Package

Have we done all this for you with our Speaker’s Bureau Package? Want marketing tools that will grow your business? The new Speakers Bureau Package with a reduced price for the Holidays. Use pre and post-holidays and all year to find adult children.

We have seven pre-made PowerPoints, each a 20-minute presentation that covers significant pain points and pain relief for adult children and family caregivers created to engage your audience. The package contains complete directions & power points, one pager sell sheets, and sign-up sheets to collect emails after the presentation, plus a free consultation with Cathy Cress, MSW, to help set this up.

You can find adult children by reaching out to local service clubs like the Rotary, women’s clubs, Employee Assistance Programs, and musical societies seniors often join, drawing from the upper 10% of midlife members associations who are always looking for good speakers, especially presenting topics about facing the caregiving of a loved one.

Calls From Aging Dysfunctional Families-Handling the Entitled Type

August 15, 2023

Calls From Aging Dysfunctional Families-Types of aging dysfunctional families who can call you over the summer vacation

Narcissistic-Entitled Families

Calls from aging dysfunctional families’ adult children or Narcissistic Entited Families’ adult kids will happen during the summer. These VIP Clinet’s adult children call you desperately for private care over the summer visit. Their problems usually develop from a specific kind of “not good enough parenting” where the parents themselves struggle with personality disorders, like narcissistic borderline personality. Families who can afford geriatric care management and home care long-term can do so because they are VIP clients. These narcissistic families, who can afford care-managed home care are often headed by a scion with a narcissistic borderline personality. Watch Succession, Yellowstone, or reruns of BIG Hair 89’s Dallas- award-winning shows you stream and you know who these Scions are. We love to hate them but binge on their evil ways. These VIP Clients have the financial resources, to pay 4-6K for home care and long-term geriatric care management which is usually over a million dollars in assets. When gathering with their adult children during the summer vacation at the family summer house or a family reunion they see the seams shredding in their parent’s minds or bodies and call you for help because they did not have those good enough parents and have no model to care for them as the parents usually did not care for the adult children as kids. They often have no interest in caring for the parents themselves, as they themselves are entitled. You need clinical skills to work with these families because of the diagnosis of narcissism, which can tear a country or family apart. Part of this is drawn from Claudia Fine and Nick Newcombe’s excellent chapter “Entitlement in the Aging Family”, Care Managers Working With the Aging Family, Jones and Bartlett)

Calls From Aging Dysfunctional families-Real & TV Narcissistic-Entitled Families:

Calls from aging dysfunctional families will come this summer- with adult children looking for help. They may see their parents faltering and face caring for them, which they have no plans to do. They will hire you like the private chef or the gardener, a service to carry out their wishes. Entitlement in their family causes the adult children to at times be as difficult and nasty as the parents. These VIP families usually develop from a specific kind of “not good enough parenting” in which the parents themselves have struggled with personality disorders, most typically, in this type of family, narcissistic borderline personality (for example Former President Trump)They struggled with a borderline personality that went undiagnosed or was formally diagnosed and untreated. We can also see this Narcissistic entitled family head in Brian Cox who in Secession plays the beloved Scion to Love and Hate Logan Roy based on real-life narcissist Rupert Murdock. The adult children will call over the summer when they notice their aging parents’ confusion often because they still fear their aging, more confused will be a perhaps more fierce parent, and the adult kids have no nerve to approach telling them they care. You need clinical skills to deal with them because they are not on TV but asking for your help in real life and narcissism and borderline personalities take the kind of clinical skills Claudia Fine and Nick Newcombe’s excellent chapter “Entitlement in the Aging Family”, Care Managers Working With the Aging Family, Jones and Bartlett) gives you if you read it. But if you watch HBO Succession you see them in a series that can be an instructive clinical accompaniment.

Calls from Aging Dysfunctional families-Sumner Redstone’s VIP Family Struggles

Calls from aging dysfunctional families like Sumner Redstone’s is another example of this type of narcissistic borderline personality in heading a VIP family. He was a Media Magnate who founded CBS Viacom with a net worth of 500 billion. His narcissistic borderline personality created a long-term struggle with his family over inheritance and control after he developed dementia. Mr Redstone was conserved by his daughter

These families call you often because they see you as a way to get control of their parents and their parent’s money. These are tricky situations where you must face conservatorship and real war with both parents and adult siblings fighting against each other for power and money, a replacement for the love they never received in the nest. So clinical skills are critical to handling them of all entitled families – they are Tyrannosaurus of dysfunctional families.
