In today's podcast, we're diving deep into the maze of paid referral agencies. Buckle up; it's about to get real!
Ever wondered about the dance between senior living providers and referral agencies? I spill the tea on this senior living love story debunking misconceptions and shedding light on the real cost implications for you and your business.
But hold up! Choosing the right agency is like picking the perfect dance partner. I've got strategies for you – from aligning with your brand to handling pushback from the case managers and discharge planners.
We also dig into the nitty-gritty of contractual trip hazards, excessive commissions, retainer fees – we've all been there. Learn how to avoid these profit-margin pitfalls and why immediate payment to them might not be your best bet.
And here's the golden nugget, ticket, or child (movie reference...LOL):
Personalized marketing is your secret sauce! Know your value, communicate it like a pro, and watch those relationships bloom.
Tune in, take notes, and let's waltz through the world of paid referral agencies together. Remember, Start With Occupancy is not just a podcast; it's your backstage pass to senior living community success!
