Achieving 95% occupancy takes work. Continuing to do the same things you’ve always done isn’t going to produce results today.
Here are the five big occupancy disruptors that I see when people are trying to reach 95% occupancy.

You’re still using a transactional sales model.
It's proven, we know this to be true, using a relationship-based sales model is 3 times more effective than transactional selling in senior living.

The General Manager doesn’t see themself as a sales leader.
When the General Manager takes on the leadership role, creating a professional selling environment, results soar.

Operations are over indulging and creeping into active selling.
Sales Professionals, who are 100% responsible for the sales pipeline, get caught up in too many operational tasks, teams and administrative jobs.

Culture is not a priority. Culture eats strategy for breakfast!
What does it feel like in your senior living community? Your culture is speaking so loudly I can't hear what your saying.

Senior Living is a sales business - lets get that one straight.
Senior Living thrives in a professional selling environment. Some people still haven’t decided that occupancy is built through sales.

How different would your work life feel if you didn’t have to worry about occupancy?
Let me paint the picture for you…you walk through the doors and immediately you see:
Now you have the time to turn your attention to the leadership and mentoring work that you have patiently set aside the whole time you've had to concentrate on occupancy performance.
How do I know this? I’ve been there.
I’ve been in your shoes and brought occupancy performance from zero to hero in record time.
Sounds too good to be true? Well, I’ve brought my winning recipe with me and I’m going to share it with you.

I’ve been bringing this winning recipe for 30 years creating success after success - it works.
If you do the work to perfect your systems and skills – you will produce results.

Hi, I'm Jodi Flanagan!
I’ve spent 30 years in the senior living industry - I’ve dedicated my entire professional life to growing and building occupancy performance skills and teaching and mentoring others.
I’ve been on the receiving end of stress due to underperforming properties and I’ve also led numerous operators from dismal occupancy to 95% in record time.
In 2011, I founded Senior Living Pro, a boutique consulting firm that has gone on to support many senior living operators and providers who are struggling with one thing – occupancy.
Occupancy performance is my specialty.
You start with basic quality operating standards and add in truly effective elements to wow our customer and finish up with the professionalism that comes from putting relationships first.
I like to think of myself as the Chief Prospect Officer! I spend a great deal of time thinking like a prospect doing all I can to put myself in their shoes and experience their fears, concerns and interests. It just makes me better at relating to my customer when I intentionally do my best to walk a mile in their shoes.Â
The rest of my time I spend thinking about driving revenue in senior living so that everyone can have the best experience possible. Remember an operator with 75% occupancy has just one dream and an operator with 95% occupancy has many.
Conversations lead to connection and connections lead to closing. Occupancy performance is a relentless series of perfected small steps, habits, discipline and ethics.
Follow my footsteps to success every single day and you will see your occupancy soar!
95% occupancy is attainable this year! Don’t let another year go by that you keep doing the same thing over and over and never getting the results you need.
