Customer support professional at Vitality Senior Living of Franklin, maintaining 98–100% occupancy through responsive follow-up and family guidance.
What I'm looking for
At Vitality Senior Living of Franklin, I serve as a primary contact for prospective residents, families, and referral partners. I guide people through questions and next steps, and help maintain community occupancy at 98–100% through consistent follow-up and coordinated service.
At GRAMPS of TN, I led call-center-style communication and helped families navigate complex questions about finances, real estate, elder law, veterans’ benefits, and healthcare resources. Clear education and dependable follow-up supported an 80% tour-to-move-in conversion rate.
Across senior living, home care, hospitality, and community businesses, I’ve coordinated customer needs with operations and care teams, addressed concerns, and supported consistent service. I’m interested in bringing this experience to remote customer support for a web-based CRM platform.
