How to Help Prospects and Families When They Can’t Take a Tour

Sales and marketing during a public health crisis of this magnitude is uncharted territory. We know many of our clients in senior living are struggling to balance business as usual with deep uncertainty about how older adults and families are going to perceive the industry over the coming weeks and months. Will there be a fear response that slows sales activity? Or, will families recognize that senior living communities are set up to handle infectious diseases and safely provide care during a crisis?

These questions become more acute when tactics become limited. If a prospect is unable or unwilling to come in for a tour, how can you continue to demonstrate your unique value? We took a closer look at how communities are handling this, and here are a few things we spotted.

And, for Roobrik clients, you can be proactive about emailing or texting prospects in your sales funnel who are still trying to decide if it’s time to make a change. Offering a Roobrik assessment can keep you top of mind, with a process that reinforces your readiness to help, on their terms.

Because all Roobrik clients have unlimited access to our assessment tools, you can feel free to share it with families inquiring about your community to help them explore their situation virtually.

See below for a sample email and text message. If you’re a current client and you’d like to do something like this, contact Leanna to get custom Roobrik links. If you’re not a current client, please feel free to reach out to Evan to learn more about how we can help you.
