Sales Training

Group & one-on-one sales training

Experience tells us it takes, on average, 25 touch-points with a prospective resident to achieve a sale. Along the way there will be questions, hesitation and emotions about moving from their family home into a retirement village.

Sales Training

Does your in-house team have the skills to positively manage these touch-points throughout the sales process?

Understanding the nuances of retirement property sales takes time and specialist industry expertise. With our extensive experience and impressive sales record, we can equip your staff with the skills they need to succeed.

The foundation of our sales training is our proven and proprietary sales methodology. It provides your in-house team with a structured pathway which can be tailored to take prospective residents on an educational journey based on their needs and wants.

In recognition of the results achieved by our sales process, one of the Village Sales Agency team, Alison Abel, was awarded the 2020 Winner of the National Property Council Award for Salesperson of the year.
