Fueling smarter sales: Senior CRM insights from the road

RentCafe Senior CRM Road Show with Further

The Senior CRM Roadshow kicked off in Atlanta with hands-on collaboration between Yardi experts and senior living operators. The event gave clients a chance to share best practices, explore new enhancements in RentCafe Senior CRM and strengthen their CRM strategy.

James Johnson, CPO and co-founder at Further, joined us on our journey to explore the future of sales and marketing in senior living. He presented along with Senior CRM team members from Yardi: Manager Candace Seidle and Senior Consultant Kristine Schrudder. Further is part of the standard interface partner program for RentCafe Senior CRM.

CRM insights from the driver’s seat

Here are a few key takeaways from the event:

  • Community staff can initiate deposits directly in Senior CRM to speed up the sales cycle and improve the accuracy of occupancy forecasting
  • Prospects and families can complete agreements, screenings and payments through a streamlined experience in the RentCafe Senior Living Portal
  • Marketing and leadership teams can connect campaign data to Senior CRM performance to measure ROI and understand how marketing drives move-ins
  • When Yardi Vituoso is available in Senior CRM, sales teams will be able to use AI tools in Senior CRM to automate follow-up tasks and uncover actionable insights that help prioritize leads

The event attendees at the Senior CRM Road Show also received aggregate data and benchmarks to identify best practices and coaching opportunities for improving sales performance.

Shift into high gear with connected systems

The partnership between Yardi and Further brings a deeply connected solution to RentCafe Senior CRM users, combining powerful automation with real-time prospect engagement tools that drive results. Further is a go-to-market automation platform for senior living operators.
