This is true globally, too.<\/p><p>Popular belief says that Millennials are broke. It\u2019s not true. Millennials are simply entering their wealth accumulation phase later than Baby Boomers\u2014who are often the ones doing the \u201cwealth comparison.\u201d In reality, it is likely that Millennials will outspend Baby Boomers in the coming years.<\/p><p>Millennials, also known as Generation Y and Echo Boomers, have grown up being advertised to more than any previous generation and with more choices for products and services than ever before. Most importantly, Millennials have come of age with more channels and ways to buy, rent, share, and pay for products and services than any previous generation. These changes are setting new rules for sales and marketing.<\/p><p>Yes, Millennials have more college debt (over $1.3 trillion!) and, in many cases, the credit card debt to go with it. But given the generation\u2019s size and annual increase in earnings, they will navigate through their debt over time. We predict that the average age of a first-time homebuyer will be older for the Millennial generation than it is for previous generations, but overall spending will continue to grow year after year. It\u2019s important to note that major purchases are often driven by life stage (i.e., marriage and kids), which Millennials have needed more time to reach. They will still buy cars and houses; they\u2019re just doing it later.<\/p><p>When Millennials outspend Baby Boomers, a huge marketplace shift will take place, and the spending paths will only diverge more. At CGK, we discovered that Millennials:<\/p><ul><li>Have the greatest lifetime value of any customer in the marketplace<\/li><li>Have the least-established loyalty as customers\u2014but they are very loyal once they select a brand, service or company<\/li><li>Are most likely to refer their friends when they have a good shopping or buying experience<\/li><\/ul><p>Most importantly to salespeople, marketers, and innovators, Millennials communicate, shop, and buy differently than any previous generation. This is why traditional sales and marketing tactics do not work with Millennials. CGK focuses on uncovering what works now with Millennials at various life stages, over various platforms, and with diverse spending potential and habits.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8f74356 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8f74356\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" id=\"chapter-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7211a6b faq-accordion-col accordion-counter\" data-id=\"7211a6b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04a0209 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"04a0209\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">10 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT MILLENNIAL CUSTOMERS &amp; CLIENTS\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2665c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2665c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1.

Leadership is earned over time based on your actions and reactions.<\/li><li>Being younger than those you lead does change things. It is what it is. You can prove yourself by not getting hung up on your own age or anyone else\u2019s. Show up. Lead by example. Listen to others. Value others. Then make the hard decisions and keep moving forward.<\/li><li>Learn to value the intangibles. You may be fabulous with technology but have room to improve how you give or take feedback. If a leadership responsibility makes you uncomfortable or nervous, treat it as an area for growth.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1409\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"9\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1409\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-angle-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Can you predict what will happen when the generation after Millennials enters the workplace?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1409\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"9\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1409\"><p>CGK is leading a new research study on the generation after Millennials, called <a href=\"\/gen-z-2017\/\">Gen Z or iGen<\/a>.
