A Story of Hope When Reputation Doesn’t Translate Into Presales Success
- Rob Love, President/CEO, Love & Company
- Amy Brodie, SVP of Client Experience
- Erica Thrash-Sall, CEO, Horizon House
Session description: This session shares how Horizon House, a highly regarded downtown Seattle Life Plan Community with strong occupancy and a long wait list, learned that reputation alone was not enough to ensure expansion presales success. After early momentum on its 202-residence West Tower stalled, the community partnered with a new marketing team that introduced refreshed branding, updated messaging and targeted outreach to reach new prospects beyond word-of-mouth referrals. The result was renewed sales momentum, stronger engagement with existing leads and ultimately achieving the financing goal. Attendees will gain practical insights into why expansion marketing requires a different strategy than occupancy marketing and how the right approach can turn stalled presales into a success story.
