Case Study: How Upstate Senior Placement Built a Systematic 5-Tier Sales Funnel That Automates Client Acquisition

The Challenge

When Upstate Senior Placement approached us, they were struggling with fundamental sales and marketing inefficiencies that were limiting their ability to help families in need:

Critical Pain Points:

  • Inconsistent Lead Nurturing: Families would inquire but get lost in an unstructured follow-up process

  • Manual Outreach Overload: Time-intensive manual outreach was limiting their capacity to reach more families

  • Conversion Bottlenecks: High initial interest but poor conversion from inquiry to placement

  • Lack of Systematic Approach: No clear pathway to guide families through the decision-making process

The emotional and time-sensitive nature of senior placement decisions required a more sophisticated, empathetic approach that could scale without losing the personal touch families desperately needed.

  • Tier 5: Placement & Follow-up - Ongoing support and referral generation

2. Cold Outreach Automation System
