The Competitor Set-Up

leave a comment »

Are you losing sales and move-ins to a competitor on a consistent basis, and wonder how you can more effectively compete with them?

There is a technique that I call “The Competitor Set-Up” and it involves knowing the competitor well enough to be able to “set them up” without ever mentioning their name to the prospect.  Since we never want you saying anything negative about a specific competitor, we do want you to be able to learn how to arm the customer with information and questions so that they can more clearly see the differences between your community and those you compete with.

The Competitor Set-Up is one of over 45 e-Learning Modules in the new Senior Living Excellence Sales and Marketing library now available at http://www.sellingseniorliving.com/senior-living-excellence.html

Rick’s Rule of 78 – Part 2

leave a comment »

Did you know that 1 lost sale each month for a year will cost your community 78 months of revenue for that 12 month period?  If your monthly fee was $3,000 per month, that would add up to $234,000 lost revenue, for just losing one sale a month.

Did you know that 1 additional move-in a month for a year will provide your community 78 months of additional revenue for that 12 month period?  If your monthly fee was $3,000 per month, that would add up to $234,000 additional months of revenue for the year, for getting just one more a month.

What To Do When Seniors Aren’t Ready to Make the Move to Your Community

leave a comment »

Hopefully this tip will help you if you are in sales of senior living communities.  When a prospect says they are not ready yet, ask them if they have lived in a senior living community before.  Most will say they have not, and then you ask them how they know they are not ready if they have never lived in a community before.  The best thing to do at that point is to invite them for a trial visit to your community.  Trial visits result a high percentage of move-ins, since many seniors then realize that they are really ready after they experience the lifestyle.

Sales Tip – Get 20 Free Leads Each Month!

leave a comment »

Want to generate 20 new warm leads each month at no cost to you?

Ask everyone you talk to this question at the end of your conversation.  “By the way, do you mind if I ask you one more question, who do you know TODAY that might like INFORMATION on our community?”

If you are talking to at least 10 people a day, and ask them all that question, you should get at least 1 name per day.  That would be 20 names in a month!  And, since these names were given to you by someone who knows these people, they are not a cold lead, but a warm lead!

Give it a try!  What do you have to lose but a few minutes in asking the question!  I guarantee you’ll be glad you did!
