 "This is a "must have" for your bookshelf on marketing to seniors. Gary has
 a real life perspective gained from experience that is invaluable. The book
 challenges many of our assumptions about this market... a welcome respite
 from more academic approaches.

  "The author does a great job of being bottom line oriented and showing that
  what it really boils down to is empathy. But, not all of us are seniors (yet) and
  fail to pick up on the day-to-day realities of their world or see the big impact
  of small things (e.g. brochures with nonglaring finishes). Well, now you don't
  have to be insightful. Just have enough business acumen to glean your insight
  from this author who lays out this world with action packed clarity. Much of
  the material in this book is 'gosh, I should have thought of that.' We can thank
  goodness, Gary Onks pulls it all together to form a strong program for getting
  close to this huge market."

  "This book is just the ticket. We had been thinking about focusing towards
  older patients and Gary's book will guide our way."

 "Having read this book, I consider it a privilege to have purchased it. In my
 many years as an avid reader I have read many books that have sales as their
 focus. But, this book by Gary Onks is a book which puts what is known as
 sales in a different catagory. Gary has put humanity and compassion into a
 subject that has always been presented without these attributes. And... he
 brings pride into selling!
 His book is a testament to helping people to purchase what they want and need
 by using understanding, respect and care. The fact that they get a product along
 with those great attributes is just the cherry on the cake.
 No matter if you are wanting better relations with those around you or if you are
 actually in the sales field you will get much more than you would expect from a
 book addressing either subject. I would recommend this book to anyone.
 Gary did not know I would want to review his book when I bought my copy
 (which he was kind enough to autograph) and I will receive no personal benefits
 from this recommendation. I recommend it because I believe this book is an
 asset for any person to have to help in understanding the people in their life. On
 top of that it is an excellent, pleasant and easy read."
