Trends in over 50s housing in South Africa
Almost all companies have been affected by the credit crunch, business downturn and market paralysis.
But just because large builders are caught up in slowing sales, product resistance, slumping house prices, valuation wobbles, shareholder loss of confidence, doubts over management skills in choppy markets, narrowing margins, rising construction costs, no significant investment appetite, bank lending freezes, declining asset class, inadequate returns for risk, lack of management skill depth and growing self doubt does not mean all business has ceased.
This is the time for the fleet footed, nimble and agile. Dozens of highly profitable sub markets are emerging and any company not hide bound by yesterday’s thinking has a unique opportunity to grow.
There are solutions and they will be available to anyone who cares to take the time to listen, ask questions and get the answers.
To carry on with yesterday's practices is folly.
There are answers and we have many of them. Take a step to prosperity renewal.
A seminar will be held in Johannesburg on Wednesday 12 May 2010.
This may be the most valuable day you undertake in the next 12 months - it’s up to you.
If you are planning to attend, please note that the earlier you book, the better value you will achieve.
The attendance price is raised each Friday evening at 5pm.
There has only been one source of reliable, honest, no nonsense, on the money information on housing trends / housing demands for the over 50s in the past 10 years.
This one day seminar is gold. This seminar is without peer in terms of accurate forecasting in retirement housing / nursing home trends. It has a track record no one can come close to.
Look who has benefited from trends predicted and analyzed five years ago by our research team.

I exhort you to attend. The delegates who have attended the Day Long Sessions mid-year have enjoyed the most extraordinary experience.
The reactions have covered the full gamut
"This has been a life changing experience" - London
"You have added a new dimension to my business" - Washington D.C.
"Can we stay in contact so that you may guide my learning and development" - Washington D.C.
"Why didn't you say in your promotion of the event that you were this good? This exceeds any conference I've ever been to" - New York
"The New Business Models were awe-inspiring" - New York
"I've been going to industry conferences for many years and have never heard anything as insightful as this ..." - Los Angeles
"That's an outstanding New Financial Model" - Jersey (Channel Islands)

We will stay in contact beyond the Day Long Seminar. We will provide updates on the Trends and you will be given private access for help beyond the Day Seminar.
