Editor's Notes
- Intro: quick D&B My business career consisted of 10 years with Nabisco in Sales and management 5 years in my own business Fit10. Ten minute exercise concept 13 years in Food Service distribution in sales and sales management with the 2 top distributors Sysco and US Foods. The last year started IMediaMarketingZ. Help companies transition to the the online world using social media platform like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Linkedin I've always had a passion for marketing and even during my 13 yrs at Sysco and USFoods even though I was selling food primarily I found myself helping my customers with marketing. However over the last 5 years or so I became very frustrated with dealing with technology ...... And although I felt I learned at a slower pace I did see plenty of other baby boomers in food service struggle too So about 3 or so years ago I discovered that my girls were really good with this techie stuff. And that they and the younger generation were leading the charge with technology So today I want to talk to you about a great opportunity to is coming .....the shift to social networks and why Social Matters to the over 50 age group.
- We are now in a major shift with technology and communication The challenge we face as baby boomers is to not stay on the side lines but to jump in the game and to be aware of how Social Media works in business There are tremendous opportunities for those who recognize the power of social media and how to use in business Social media is a big part of this shift

My daughter share with me this new app called HeyTell I remember back before I was texting and my daughter Mary Rachel was in high school and my wife and I were looking at the Verizon bill and we noticed she had over 3k text messages for the month. How .... But that was the way the kids were communicating.... I also found myself outside the communication loop because my wife was texting with my daughters and I wasn't I had to learn how to text so I could be part of what was going on Lesson here for me was if I didn't learn how to text then I was losing out on an effective way to communicate with my family

Barack Obama new the power of social media and was able to use it to get elected to the highest office in our country.

A great example of your association ...Your president Kenneth Cosgrove is of the GenY generation.....knows and understands the power of social media.
