    • Community partners
    • Key decision makers

Execute events, outreach, and networking strategies that generate applicable leads

Operate Like a Sales Leader

  • Partner with leadership to adjust strategy and drive results
  • Deliver consistent reporting on KPIs and sales performance

    • Strong closer with a sense of urgency and competitive drive
    • Ability to handle objections and ask for the sale
    • High-level emotional intelligence working with seniors and families
    • Organized, disciplined, and CRM-driven
    • Comfortable with high outbound call volume and follow-up expectations

  • Reliable transportation for outreach and networking
  • Ability to stay active leading tours throughout the day
