I wondered how receptive business community might be to a survey of their clients. As it turns out, business owners are as excited about this service as families are that use Senior Approved Services.

Barbara and I chatted for well over an hour and if you would like full reprint of my entire interview, please feel free to contact me at jillcauthor@yahoo.com

Barbara is very modest; she has created a unique service that not only serves those in need of services, but offers business community great advantages.

Jeff Porter of The SCOOTER Store says, “The SCOOTER Store is excited about our affiliation with Senior Approved Services. We believe Senior Approved certification will reassure seniors and their caregivers that they can put their trust in The SCOOTER Store as America's leading provider of power mobility”

Paul Stone, owner of a general cleaning and handyman service says, “We are so proud to be Certified as a Senior Approved Service. Putting this on our brochures, business cards and other advertisement pieces has clearly, without a doubt, increased our client base. Barbara is right; seniors need services but are afraid or confused about which one to call.”

Michael Stowe Administrator of Life Care Home Health Services Corporation, says, “In short time we have worked together with Senior Approved Services, I have been impressed with comprehensiveness of service referrals, personal touch and responsiveness to inquiries. Senior Approved Services offers an extremely valuable service to seniors and their families by connecting them with quality providers.”

Lorice S. Dakdduk, DCR of Sunrise Assisted Living of Rocky River, says, “Barb and her company offer a unique service that is unmatched in industry. Her personalization follow through and genuine concern makes this service top notch. Highly recommend for professionals as a resource and for family members not wanting to take this task on alone. With Senior Approved Services you always have someone to count on.”

Document Sharing Software Solutions

I have found that best way to answer questions of ad hoc document sharing is to use a document management service or a content management tool that tracks ad hoc document sharing.

You may do what most people do in searching for right document sharing software and type “document sharing” into Google and feel overwhelmed by 20 million 800 thousand indexed pages of document sharing, or groupware, suites. There are easier ways.

Try looking up “Digital Thread Technology”, which places a tag in metadata of any Microsoft program and tracks it over email and servers. This opens up a digital signature with emails, informing users where most recent version is saved. When changes have been made in cookie jar, nobody is left in dark.

Look up “Version History”, which opens up a flow chart of documents genealogy. This makes record keeping simple, especially when accounting for editorial changes. Version History displays where document had been and when, who made changes and where it was saved, and how it reached its most recent stage. Instead of questions, users have all answers.

The cherry on top (this is obviously not part of cookie jar example) is that versatile and effective document sharing software like this not only handles ad hoc document sharing but also eliminates overhead costs associated with IT infrastructure. And, if I download it, then everyone with whom I share documents also shares in benefits.
