Start With Occupancy
Whether you’re a Sales Director in senior living, a residential assisted living owner, or an entrepreneur serving the aging adult care market, The Start With Occupancy Podcast is where marketing and sales stop being guesswork.
If you’re ready to lead with clear systems and proven strategies that drive occupancy, strengthen referrals, and create results you can sustain, this is where it starts.
Hi, I’m Tiffany!
I’m a former corporate senior living sales and marketing leader who’s spent years inside the system leading multi-state teams, coaching sales professionals, and taking occupancy-challenged communities to consistent full occupancy.
But more importantly, I’ve seen why so many communities struggle and it’s rarely a lack of care, effort, or heart.
It’s a lack of clear systems and knowledge.
Start With Occupancy exists to raise the standard so owners and sales professionals stop guessing, families feel confident, and growth becomes sustainable instead of stressful.
Why does this matter? Because in senior living, higher occupancy means more seniors helped, more families served, and stronger business outcomes.
👉 The top 3 questions I hear most often:
- How do I market my community to more families and referral sources?
- How do I manage my time to handle everything on my plate?
- How do I grow — whether in my business or my career?
This podcast will answer those questions (and many more!) with practical sales tips, proven marketing tactics, referral strategies, event ideas, social media hacks, team-building approaches, and motivational stories that keep you focused on what matters most: helping seniors and their families thrive.
Whether you need:
✔️ Referral-generating event ideas
✔️ Tips to film impactful videos for families
✔️ Strategies to market effectively to professionals
✔️ Insights to build a prospect-centered sales team
I’ve got you covered!
