At 1:00pm PDT today, I’m doing a presentation on Internet Safety at a local senior living center.
The Active Living Program Director invited me to speak. When I said yes, he asked if I had a publicity flyer. I said no, but I can make one. He said, “I’ll make it. I make these all the time.”
And wow, I am so glad I let him make the flyer, because it’s way better than anything I would have done.
In preparing for the presentation, I learned that the residents use far more phones and iPads than laptops, and that online purchasing is a common practice. So I built my presentation around mobile devices, and the outline is (1) email safety, (2) text messaging safety, and (3) online purchasing safety.
BTW, notice that the flyer doesn’t have my contact info. The Program Director focused on the time and date of the presentation. I’ll be giving the attendees a handout with a summary of the safety points covered, and that handout will have my contact info.
This opportunity came out of the blue, but I think it has potential for development everywhere, so I’m sharing it with my fellow small business entrepreneurs. This may be an additional niche revenue stream for you, too: remote tech support focused on senior living facilities. This facility offers step-up care from independent living, through assisted living, and on to memory care, if needed. Some of the residents will have relatives who can provide “Tier 1 Support,” but there are issues for which they need someone with more expertise, and who is comfortable working with senior adults. And, sadly, some of the residents have no one else to turn to.
My business development methodology here is to give the presentation at no charge. This gives the staff and residents an opportunity to get to know me, so they think of me later when they need tech support. After the “trial run” on Sept. 17, I’ll refine the presentation, and then I’ll reach out to the other senior facilities in this area and offer it to them, too. Let’s see what happens!
