Your one-page action plan

Five partners, what starts the work for each one, and the three rooms to be in. Print it and keep it in the car.

Networking plan: Senior Living Placement Advisor

The five people who should be sending you clients

  1. Attorney Elder Law (Two-way)
    Shared trigger: an aging parent needs a different living situation
  2. Home Health Care (Two-way)
    Shared trigger: an aging parent needs a different living situation
  3. CPA / Accountant (They send you work)
    Shared trigger: somebody dies and an estate has to be settled
  4. Attorney Estate Planning & Probate (They send you work)
    Shared trigger: an aging parent needs a different living situation
  5. Primary Care Physician (Two-way)
    Shared trigger: an aging parent needs a different living situation

The three rooms to be in

  1. Your local estate planning council: Your partners are in this room: elder law attorneys, CPAs, and estate planning attorneys.
  2. Your city or county chamber of commerce: Your partners are in this room: home care agencies, CPAs, and primary care practices.
  3. State CPA society: Your partners are in this room: CPAs and financial advisors.

Don't confuse this with networking: Aging Life Care / senior care provider network. Learning and supplier access, not referrals.

The people

Who should be sending you clients

Ranked by what starts the job, not by who sounds close to your trade. When something happens that makes people need senior placement advisors, who else gets a call that same week?

Match strength is how much of your work starts from the same event as theirs, scored out of 100. Higher means you are more often called into the same job in the same week.

The competitor trap

Aging Life Care / senior care provider network

Most senior placement advisors join this room first. It is also the one most likely to be the wrong pick. Everyone in it does what you do. Join it for the training, the licenses, and the ties to manufacturers. Do not join it for referrals, and do not join it instead of the rooms above.

Let us be straight with you. For senior placement advisors, a weekly referral group is not the best pick. Your partners gather in professional groups instead, so spend your time there. We would rather say that than sell you a seat you do not need.

These rooms meet on real dates. We will send you the next ones for your area. Send me the dates ↑
