Portland/Vancouver
Monthly Marketing Update- September 2022
Our team just returned from 3 days camping together on the Oregon
Coast. We started the trip on Sunday with Lyman and I renewing our 20-year wedding vows, and it was very special to have our work family with us. Over the next 2 days, we enjoyed games on the beach, family-style meals, and campfires. It was not all fun and games, we exchanged our own "vows" to each other - why we are part of this team and how we plan to support each other, and our values (Integrity, Quality, Retention, Community, and Volunteerism). Here are a few pics if you are curious.
We also set aside time to focus on our customer service, google analytics, website improvements, increased print distribution, and budgets. My favorite “work” part
of the trip was when two of our community partners joined the meetings to speak about the role of Retirement Connection in the community. Some of my favorite quotes were: “your team really does walk the talk”; “as a sponsor, I know if I tell one of you- it will be taken care of and the rest of the team seamlessly makes it happen”; “as a company, you support nonprofits full mission- not just fundraising, but also advocacy, concern, and awareness”. I am so proud to be a part of this team because we are the sum of our individual parts.

Celebration
September 16, 9am Senior Service Network (SSN-Clark)
September 26, 3pm Senior Provider Information Network (SPIN)
Please visit our networking page for more details.
We include a robust list of events and networking opportunities on RetirementConnection.com, including landing pages for recurring network meetings. To receive a complimentary page in the networking section, a meeting must represent the following:
- Be specific to the senior industry
- Be open to anyone from the senior industry to attend, and not a close network
- Have a Regular attendance of 25+
- Typically held in person rather than on-line
We know there are many other valuable meetings to attend, and we encourage you to do so. We hold to these standards, in an effort to highlight larger networking opportunities, rather than just list every possible meeting in the community. If you are not seeing specific details for a meeting, it may be because the meeting does not currently meet these parameters, but may still be
meeting. We will remain in contact with the organizers and hopefully list again in the future

CareAvailability is growing! CareAvailability.com is a digital-only resource for families and referral sources to search for senior living, care, and hospice across the nation. We are adding numerous states each month in an effort to build a comprehensive site that does not require a log-in to search listings and provides transparent listings for visitors to contact providers directly. Last month we added Utah to our database! This means an additional 469 providers are now listed in our database
of resources. This includes more than: 230 assisted living communities, 90 skilled nursing facilities, and over 140 home care, home health, and hospice agencies. We are excited to share that our Premium Marketing profiles are getting more hits each month than ever before. In August, the site had 9,225 searches for care and as a result of those searches, the site had 7,742 premium marketing profile visits. Join the CareAvailability newsletter for more updates. |

"If you want to play in the game, you need to show up for practice.” — Amy Schmidt
We all love the “win” that comes from closing the sale, getting the referral, giving an awesome presentation, throwing a successful event, etc. But that success does not come unless you WORK on the
relationships and planning prior to event day. The little things matter just as much, if not more. SO, attend a network meeting and actually participate; make introductions that benefit others and not just yourself; be attentive to all of your customers- not just the decision-makers.
