    Nov 17 2021

    Sep 29 2021

    Incentives.

    According to the Senior Care Investor "these days, almost everyone is discounting because the name of the game is census, then worry about margin." While discounting can provide short-term results, the long-term implications can be serious.

    In this blog, Traci is going to cover several different alternatives to discounting that can drive move ins all while restoring margins!

  • The Relationship Economy: Chapters 10 & 11
    Sep 15 2021

    “People will tell you how to close them, all you must do is listen.” Traci Bild

    As we close out The Relationship Economy with Chapters 10 and 11, you will understand that emotional connection is what creates customer loyalty, not a discount or overview of your parent company and how great they are! When people visit your senior living, active adult, or multi-family communities the energy you create and that they feel upon walking in along with the way you make them feel is what leads to moved in residents.

  • Sales & Marketing SHOW and TELL
    Jul 28 2021

    STOP TELLING ASSISTED LIVING SALES & MARKETING DIRECTORS HOW MANY MOVE INS THEY NEED AND SHOW THEM HOW TO DO IT WITH THESE THREE STRATEGIES

    With over two decades of training sales and marketing directors, the Bild & Co team knows - "you cant' just TELL people what to sell, you have to SHOW them how to do it!" This blog is going to assist you to do just that.

    Today's blog is going to provide you three strategies you can implement right now:

    1) Effectively Communicate

    2) Advocate & Advise

    3) Build Value BEFORE Discussing Price

     

    You may be thinking this sounds pretty simple, but after over 20 years of training seniors housing sales teams, I can promise you -  simple it is not!

     

    Lack of move ins is not a lead problem, but rather a skill set problem. We have got to provide the tools and, most importantly, the sales and communication training that sales teams need to be successful.

  • The Relationship Economy: Chapter 7
    Jul 22 2021

    In this chapter, we are discussing how we need to be selling our communities, not as a commodity, but as an EXPERIENCE. To that, we have to properly train our sales and marketing directors that what we are selling is a very emotional process and that we MUST be the advisors to our potential buyers.  

    What does your community have that others do not? What VALUE do you offer? I'm not talking discounts - I'm talking about HOW your community is best going to meet and EXCEED those needs and wants that the family and/or prospective resident has.
