Starting in 1990, Gary personally sold over $5 Million Dollars worth of
products and services
during his first year of one-on-one marketing directly to seniors. At
the same time, he also
managed a marketing and operations staff that sold and delivered an
additional $7 Million in
products and services directly to seniors.
In 2007 Gary focused his selling methods on reverse mortgage sales.
He sold more loans in his first 2 months than anyone had ever done in the 16
year history of the nations largest reverse mortgage lending company. He was
the #1 seller nationwide breaking the company's long standing sales records.
Grandpap
and Meemaw Onks called Gary "their legs" and "handy as a pocket in a shirt."
These
fond memories of his grandparents started Gary on his successful road in relating to and selling
to seniors. Peers have said that "seniors love Gary like a grandson" and they have
called him a
"natural" in selling to the mature marketplace.
Gary
says, "The secret of my success with seniors is the love my Grandpap
and Meemaw gave
me, and my great love for them. I see and sell seniors with that love."
Gary's
experience in interviewing, consulting and marketing to 1,000s of seniors in addition to
setting
up, opening and managing a large retirement living community has given Gary a unique
perspective
on selling to the senior market. His own trademarked, Seniorized®, marketing
methods
are second to none in delivering outstanding sales growth to any business.
In
addition, he brings his clients over 30 years of personal development and business success
