The Competitor Set-Up

Rick Hunsicker — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 14:37:42 +0000

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

Getting Ready for 2012

Rick Hunsicker — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 14:13:14 +0000

The year is just over half gone and many of you are starting to think about your 2012 budgets and how you are going to use your allocated marketing resources to generate the most positive impact on your revenue for the new year.

I’m suggesting that you consider two key areas of focus for the new year, which you can start developing now so that by the new year these two programs are already yielding positive results!

Helping your new residents and prospects get their houses sold.
Getting your sales team members some the best on-line continuing senior living sales and marketing education available today so they have their new skills refined by 2012.

If you’d like a source for these two services, please send me an email at RickHunsicker@HunsickerConsulting.com

Do CCRC’s Improve and Extend Life for Seniors?

Rick Hunsicker — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 14:08:53 +0000

I’ve recently had an inquire from another consultant asking if I had a source for the statements many make about seniors living better and longer in a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). One of my colleagues found one such source that I want to share with you.

Most sites that refer to CCRC residents living longer use http://aspe.hhs.gov/daltcp/reports/ccrcrpt.pdf as their source. It has this paragraph on page 8:

“The information within this section relies heavily on the findings of William Scanlon and Bruce Layton in the United State GAO Report to Congressional Requesters. Statistics show that CCRC residents have a life-expectancy which is 1½ to 2 years longer than other elderly individuals. It has also been found that CCRCs reduce the risk of disease and disability and improve the health and functioning of their residents. Although little research has been done on what exactly causes these noticeable health benefits, many have attributed it to the more active approach that CCRCs take towards health care.”

The report was written by Jacquelyn Sanders, a third-year undergraduate student at Colgate University at the time. She doesn’t quote original sources for the statistics and in the report she refers to (by Scanlon & Layton), http://www.gao.gov/archive/1997/he97036.pdf

I hope this helps you in presenting to your customers the benefits of living in a CCRC vs. remaining in their home.
