Breakout Session 604 on Thursday, May 9 @ 12:30-1:30 p.m.

Selling the Senior Living Experience (Part 1 of 2)

We face many headwinds in our wonderful industry. Many of these headwinds are based on our customer's misunderstanding of who we are and what we do! In this highly interactive session, we will discuss these "facts" and how we can build trust-based relationships through sharing this information. This trust will then allow us to create meaningful, memorable and unique Experiences for our customers before they choose us!
  • Review the current state of senior living, specifically as it relates to an occupancy and revenue lens.
  • Discuss and practice 8 research-based, field-tested Sales Standards which will allow us to convert Inquiries into Move-Ins at a much higher level.
  • Identify the challenges of buying senior living from a consumer's standpoint.
