Aw, shucks…we’re blushing. But when you deliver what you promise and exceed people’s expectations, you’re bound to receive some flattering comments from time to time. And while we try not to pat ourselves on the back too much (it’s too hard to reach back there anyway), it does feel nice to be appreciated. The following unsolicited testimonials are from real members of The Senior’s Choice. If you would like to personally contact any of our members with more questions, click here and we will put you in touch with members in your area. "Dear Steve, Good news and bad news! The good news first -- After following the guidelines of The Senior's Choice training and membership we were able to grow Seniors 1st Choice into a thriving business that has been enjoyable and very rewarding for Terry, Kevin and myself. I remember the initial training we attended six years ago this month in Las Vegas. Terry was the sole owner - who had a dream, a lot of drive, and was smart enough to join The Senior's Choice. It’s been the perfect business to own in these challenging times. We have sold our business to ResCare HomeCare. Our son Kevin has been invaluable partner in the whole process from organizing the company to developing an exit strategy that created value which made Seniors 1st Choice a very desirable company for acquisition. Terry and I are looking forward to retirement, slowing down and enjoying the rewards. Kevin has decided to pursue other dreams. Now the bad news – we will no longer be members of The Senior's Choice effective immediately and will miss you and the team at headquarters and all the members who have given freely of their time, talent, and wisdom. "It's going to be a whole new world this year. My compliments to Steve and the TSC team because the layout & structure of the TSC program is outstanding. Every question I’ve had has been answered by the extensive materials they provide us and by AnNita and the rest of the support staff" "I started Seniors At Home 6 years ago with the emotional support of my husband, but he has not been involved in the day to day running of the business. If it weren’t for The Senior’s Choice there is no way I could have or would have started this business. They have given me the tools and training to grow my business from very small to a multi-million dollar company and still growing. The people at the corporate level are always there to help and the people I have met through my affiliation with The Senior’s Choice have become my friends and I continue to learn from them on a regular basis" "Hi Steve and AnNita-your "2cents" email today was very apropos to a conversation Terri and I were having over our Sunday evening martini last night! Terri did an assessment yesterday and was #4 of 6 companies the potential client was interviewing. She was told by the man's son at the end of the assessment that she by far was the most professional person that they had met at that point. They just called today to confirm that they were choosing us and told Terri again that our presentation to them was "light years above our competition." (I am certainly not saying this because it is my better half either.) My point in relating this to you is that The Seniors Choice instilled the importance of a professional approach from the get-go. We have been successful due to all the preparation and training you all provided. I hope you are able to SCREAM this from the rooftops when talking to prospective new members as I truly believe your competition and ours falls far short in their approach to the assessment process. Best regards," “Steve, I had to write you to tell you what a terrific experience the initial TSC training was for me. As you know by now, I have 35 years of successful business experience. I think I have been involved in about 16 businesses as an owner or owner-operator. I have been a franchisee of public, national companies in five of those businesses. Suffice to say, I have seen the good and bad of franchisor performance. The time I spent in the initial The Senior's Choice training was by far the absolute best business start-up training that I have ever experienced or have knowledge of, especially including those franchises I mentioned. Obviously, the general principles of marketing and management that you and Peter Droubay presented were not new to me. I had "heard it all before", but never in such a meaningful and learnable fashion. As trainers, you guys are tops! It certainly helps that your organization, The Senior's Choice, is a great concept, but I have never seen a more thorough, on-point applicable, and easy-to-use library of operations, marketing, training, procedure and policy manuals. In short, your "business in a box" is the best set of organizational and operational tools that I have ever seen, and far and away, the best value. It has been a while since I have been so excited and optimistic in a business startup. Thanks to you and your organization, I feel that our company now has excellent prospects in adding in-home senior companion care to the services we offer at our assisted living facilities.” “There is no doubt in my mind that I made the right decision in joining The Senior’s Choice. Doing this without them would have been foolish. It really is a business in a box. I can't tell you how much this has changed my life. The passion I feel for this business grows everyday. The experiences I'm having with clients are priceless. TSC is not only bettering the lives of the elderly but of their members as well.” “I just finished a week of training with The Senior's Choice and I am very impressed! I have taken many sales training courses over the years due to my profession and I feel this was the best. The course is very well structured, complete and very need-specific. There are many references to practical ready-to-use templates for many if not all of your business needs. Instead of just talking about how to get your business started, the training shows you how in an easy-to-follow, step-by-step format. Starting a business is one of the hardest things to do in life and these materials make the process much easier to manage. You have the added benefit of training videos and manuals, marketing brochures and a knowledgeable staff that is only a phone call away.” “After looking into other franchises, we realized that franchises were just not for us and almost gave up until we came across the TSC web site. TSC offered the best of everything...the support for starting the business yet the flexibility of making it OUR business. The more we get into the business, the more we love it. So much has happened...far quicker than we anticipated! Without the TSC training materials, web site information, etc. we could not have done as much as we have already. I did not realize the depth of the support that was available from TSC until I went to the Training seminar. Steve had told us to call with any questions or concerns, but at first we did not really understand the level of support that was being offered to us. Steve is a tremendous source of information and inspiration for any person wanting to start their own business. The passion he has certainly comes across in his efforts to make others successful. The Senior's Choice offers everything you need to get your business off the ground. I only wish I had taken advantage of their help earlier!” “Thank you for the excellence of your program and the way you motivate and connect with each of us. Thank you for your business ethic and the character you’ve brought into the leadership of The Senior’s Choice. The training seminar more than met my expectations and your scheduling software is outstanding!! Your materials and training helped us to pass our state’s inspection to get our license as a Home Health Care Provider; the inspector was amazed at how well we were prepared for him and the quality of the Caregiver training and paperwork as well as the materials for client care plans and assessment. All we did was follow the policies and procedures you had outlined for us. It went well for us because of the quality materials, training, and support that you provided. Thank you for all that you are and do. You and The Senior's Choice have enhanced our lives professionally and personally. You've caused us to stretch and become more than we were, you've given us an awesome and honorable profession by which we can not only earn money, but also contribute to the comfort level of people in what could be their last and most difficult years. I am so thankful that The Senior’s Choice was my choice!” Click here to open a PDF to read all the fabulous things members have to say about us. |
