96% of Your Prospects Have a Reason to Say Yes

By GlynnDevins

We all know the research. Older adults value independence. A recent study stated that 96% of adults over the age of 65 said it was “important to stay as independent as long as possible as we age.” For most of us, the picture we have in our heads when we make a statement like this is some version of our best self – healthy, financially secure, free from worry and risk.
