In order to reach Arab American seniors, it is imperative to establish ties
within the Arab community and to reach it through listed services. Among those
services is establishing "Community Reps". Those reps become your channel for future referrals.
1. Features of Community Reps:
-
Community reps will promote
your products and services FREE of charge. In essence this is a FREE
COMMUNITY sales force.
-
Community reps are
professionals who have a base of clients about 400 - 600 clients/each.
-
Community reps will receive
FREE web sites from the sponsor. The sponsored web sites are designed by our
company, DMS.
-
A
nominal fee
($95) for building & hosting
the sponsored web site is paid by the sponsoring agent or company.
-

include an Index which list other Arab American professionals
(community reps) in the network. In fact, the Index is very important to
provide FREE promotion to listed reps, all year long.
-
As community reps promote
their web sites to their base of clients, the sponsor is promoted along with
it, all year long.
-
Community reps usually are
self employed or paid by commission and they already have skills in customer
service, patient care, sales and marketing. So there is no need to provide
them with training.
-
The sponsored web sites will
have a special section (template) reserved for the sponsor which may
be used to provide health education material related to its products.

as a portal to promote other sponsor's products and to place
