See You Tomorrow!

After two years in a fully remote job, I knew it was time for a change. I’m a single mom. Both of my sons had just graduated from college. I could go for a whole week and not see a soul. 

So, when I saw a job posting at Grouper, the mission and vision spoke to me. Here is a company dedicated to helping people to not be socially isolated or lonely. “Well,” I thought. “I’m socially isolated. I’m lonely.”

I took the leap of faith. 

In my first several months as a Grouper Social Fitness Marketing Partner, I attended dozens of in-person events, including hiking club meetings, pickleball tournaments and an archery open house. I speak in front of groups and explain how Grouper administers Medicare Advantage and Supplement plans’ social fitness benefits. 

I love these events, particularly the Model Yacht regattas.

I grew up sailing, and I know if my dad were still alive he would love to do something like join a model yacht group. When I spoke at a recent regatta, I told the club leader and the tournament chairs, “You have no idea what it means to me to be a part of this. My dad is probably smiling down on me right now.” 

I can speak about the benefits of staying active and staying social, because I’m living proof. I had been trying to achieve my ideal weight for years. Today, I’m at my target. My mental health is better, and my physical health is better. My sons notice it, too. They hear me talk about my job with joy, and they can see a difference.

I even get my 14-month-old granddaughter involved. When I do certain walking events with the Florida Trail Association, my son meets me on the trail with the baby in a backpack carrier. It’s great.

I don’t feel as though I’m in sales, because I’m not really. I’m just educating people about a benefit they may already have. And I make a point of talking about our sign-off: See you tomorrow.

We use “See you tomorrow” at the end of our emails and in our presentations. It is significant because in clubs and groups, people are excited to be part of something, to be socially connected. Saying “See you tomorrow” communicates that people care about you.

Everyone agrees and understands that message. I certainly do.
