Transcript: Utilize Call Centers to Optimize Speed to Lead
Call centers tend to be a hot topic. We heard this as a common theme at the Senior Housing News Sales and Marketing Conference, so I’m glad they are being discussed more. Many communities are looking for a structured process to centralize their sales efforts.
If you are considering working with a call center, be sure to discuss their options. A good call center partner will want to tailor their approach to your specific needs, which may be different from other communities.
One key metric to focus on is speed to lead. Think about Amazon—anytime I place an order, I immediately start tracking it. Other industries have adopted that same expectation of immediacy, yet senior living can sometimes lag behind.
How do we improve speed to lead so that when people inquire, we provide them with the right information right away? The faster we respond, the more likely they are to engage with and visit our communities.
