What is Prospect-Centered Selling®?
Our methodology is called Prospect-Centered Selling® and it’s at the core of everything we do at Sherpa. We’ve proven that there’s a better way to sell, a strategy that focuses on facilitating readiness for change rather than counting call-outs and tours. Instead, we cultivate relationships with our prospective residents and inspire change through small yet highly impactful advances.
After years of leading sales teams, co-founders Alex Fisher and David Smith discovered first-hand how this new approach to senior living sales increases conversions and occupancies in communities, no matter their size, care type or location. And the research shows that Prospect-Centered Selling® is a better, more effective way to sell.
Give yourself the time and motivation to understand what your prospects are going through in this difficult decision. When you become their guide–rather than a salesperson–you can make a difference in their lives and help your community grow.
It’s time for a paradigm shift in the way we sell senior housing. We’re selling change – not a product. By forming authentic, trusting relationships with our prospects we can help them get ready for a new and enriching chapter in their lives.
