Everyone wants some degree of success. They might want it in different forms, but I’ve never met anyone who didn’t want to be successful in or at something important in their lives.

Joannie Sirefman, is a recent former Vice President and has our well-being at heart when she speaks. It is nice to hear about insurance from someone you consider a friend. She spoke about having cancer patients covered with more than adequate insurance in order to be comfortable. She brought a statistic to the conversation that really got me. It was the reality that 1 in 5 persons would be diagnosed with Cancer. Which if you looked around the room, was a scary thought in which we needed to prepare for.
Her subject was focused on the “Cancer Classic Plan”. She was able to show us numbers of how it really worked.
Here is a little on Aflac in which Joannie has chosen as the carrier she can most support in their vision and mission: Aflac pays cash benefits to the individual and does not conflict with any other insurance. With medical costs – co-pays and deductibles going through the roof we can help off set those bills when someone is sick or hurt. Our programs are affordable, guaranteed renewable and portable. Ask for it where you work!

From Michel Gunn of Gunn Multimedia Partners, Inc., we learned that from billions of entities on the internet, they aren’t all our competition; but a healthy few hundred-thousand show up in any given keyword search. For this reason, she explains why SEO is sometimes prohibitively expensive. (Some companies pay tens of thousands of dollars for top spots on Google, Yahoo, Bing, and others.)
She explained some of the ways to build a successful ‘Earned’ Search Engine Optimization (SEO) network for our businesses. ( I think we all realized now why the SEO specialists don’t divulge all the details.) Her agency does this work and they call it their ‘Guardian Angel’ Program.
“You must be thorough when hiring a SEO specialist. You need to understand how they get your phone to ring. And most importantly, is what they are doing is sustainable without throwing tons of money at it every month?”, she proclaims. Giving you periodic reporting is how she keeps their work transparent. Through Gunn Multimedia’s work, they build a foundation versus buying you a pretend one. This improves your search results organically along with building bulletproof conversion elements, and in doing so, there is a little voodoo involved (the linking and connecting). They love the science to it and enjoy building businesses solid ground — in a vast and virtual market place.
