Senior Living Pro’s Post

Healthcare professionals have their own language - and it doesn't belong in your sales presentation. Enhance your questioning skills to foster deeper connections. Avoid adopting a healthcare professional's language while selling. Engage prospects with thoughtful inquiries about their lives: “What inspires you?” “What do you enjoy most in your daily routine?” Listen actively, allowing their stories to guide the conversation and create rapport. Genuine curiosity leads to meaningful relationships! 🌟 We have incredible healthcare talent on the team and when the Prospect is at that point you can connect them. Keep your conversation about connecting, building community so that you can expertly guide the process of moving into a senior living community. #SeniorLiving #SalesSkills #EffectiveCommunication #RelationshipBuilding #CommunityEngagement #ActiveListening #GenuineCuriosity

🎉 Excited to be back on the phones and diving into the art of cold calling! There’s something incredibly fulfilling about connecting with people directly. For me, cold calling isn’t just about pitching a product—it’s about using your personality, being intentional in your conversations, and focusing on being helpful to the person on the other end of the line. When you truly believe in what you’re sharing, that conviction comes through. And right now, I couldn’t be more confident about what I’m offering at Elation Health. It’s amazing to introduce primary care physicians to a solution designed to make their work more seamless and their patients’ experiences more meaningful. Knowing that what we’re selling can genuinely help their practices thrive makes each call a chance to make a difference. To my fellow cold callers: let’s remember—it’s not just a call; it’s an opportunity to share something valuable. Bring your energy, listen with intention, and don’t forget to enjoy the process! #SalesLife #ColdCalling #PrimaryCare #ElationHealth #Intentionality #Conviction

. The Value of Listening in a Medicare Sales Conversation 👂💡 #SalesTips #ClientTrust #MedicareSales One of the best skills an agent can develop is active listening. 🗣️ Many times, clients may not fully understand what they need or might be hesitant to share their concerns. By listening actively—nodding, repeating key points, and asking questions—you show that you value their input. ❤️ Active listening helps you: Uncover Pain Points: Clients may reveal problems they’re facing without saying it directly. 🧩 Provide Customized Solutions: By understanding their true needs, you can recommend the right plan. 🎯 Build Trust: When clients feel heard, they’re more likely to work with you and recommend you to others. 🤝💙 How has active listening helped you in your Medicare sales career? Let’s share and learn from each other! 💬 #ClientFirst #ListeningSkills #SalesGrowth #HealthInsurance

Most referral networks die a slow death of good intentions. I see it all the time: ambitious professionals meticulously collecting business cards at networking events, sending occasional "let's catch up" emails, and wondering why their referral pipeline remains bone dry. They're doing what everyone says they should do. And that's exactly the problem. Here's what I've learned after studying hundreds (err, more like dozens, but many dozens) of successful referral networks, particularly in specialist areas of healthcare: The best networks aren't built on reciprocity. They're built on results. Think about it. You refer people because they're exceptionally good at what they do. Everything else is just social pressure masquerading as strategy. The counter-intuitive truth is that the best way to build a referral network isn't to focus on networking at all. It's to become so good at your core work that referring you becomes the obvious choice. In healthcare, I've watched specialists build thriving practices not through lunch meetings, but through consistent excellence that makes primary care physicians look good to their patients. Three principles I've seen work repeatedly: 1. Solve problems you didn't create 2. Make referring to you ridiculously easy 3. Close the loop obsessively But perhaps the most important principle is one nobody talks about: Build your network before you need it. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. What's one thing you wish someone had told you earlier about building professional relationships? #ProfessionalDevelopment #NetworkingStrategy #Healthcare #Leadership

Another big thanks to Dazos for sharing one of my blogs on their site. This month's blog on Mastering Ramp-Up Time for outreach reps is a must read for any treatment center when designing their outreach team, drafting targets, and even in planning clinical staffing models. In short, treatment programs will never grow to their potential if this one simple concept isn't given proper attention. There is a lot more than meets the eye in hiring an outreach rep or building an outreach team. This article gives a lot of direction on that topic, yet it's still just the tip of the iceberg. Reach out if you'd like to discuss this with me 1:1. It's a topic I really enjoy, and I love discussing it with programs stuck on the outreach rep hamster wheel. https://lnkd.in/enZ5kgru

Why do so many clinics fail at building referral networks? They follow the standard playbook: send out that initial “OPEN NOW” announcement, and then sit back and watch the results. Yet, their referral pipeline stays stubbornly empty. After studying dozens of thriving referral networks in healthcare, I've discovered something counterintuitive: the best networks aren't built on reciprocity. They're built on results. Think about your own referral decisions. When was the last time you referred someone because they were good at networking? You refer people because they're exceptional at their work. Everything else is just social pressure masquerading as strategy. The most successful specialists I've observed build their practices not through lunch meetings, but through consistent excellence that makes referring physicians look brilliant to their patients. They understand an essential truth: becoming invaluable matters more than being sociable. Three principles I've seen work consistently: 1. Solve problems you didn't create. Your reputation grows fastest when you help others look good. 2. Make referring to you ridiculously easy. Every extra step costs you opportunities. 3. Close the loop obsessively. People remember how you made them feel about their decision to trust you. But here's the principle nobody talks about: Start building your network before you need it. Like growing a tree, the best time was years ago. The second best time is now. The irony? The less you focus on "networking," and the more you focus on being exceptional at your core work, the stronger your network becomes.
