Hit the Ground Running
Whether you are new to senior living or a seasoned professional, there is always benefit in brushing up on skills that can help you speak with common vernacular about senior living. The Argentum Sales Counselor Certificate Program is designed to help you enhance your knowledge and competency in 3 fundamental areas:
- Industry Knowledge
- Marketing Strategy
- Consultative Sales Process
Participants will take away a complete understanding of the different levels of senior living and be able to speak intelligently with prospective residents about the options that may fit their needs and preferences.
“Being fluent in our industry’s terminology early on allows a sales counselor to easily guide the prospect through each of the steps present in the transition from life at home to life in a community. I found tremendous value in decreasing this learning curve, and would recommend the Argentum Senior Living Sales Counselor Certificate program as a great course for any sales professional, specifically those who come to us from outside the industry.” – Janine Witte, National Director of Sales, Senior Lifestyle
