Track lead sources, tours generated, event attendance, social engagement, referral activity, and marketing ROI.
Regularly evaluate which outreach and marketing activities are producing results and adjust strategy accordingly.

Increased qualified inquiries and scheduled tours each month.
A growing network of healthcare, business, and community referral partners.
Referral relationships that consistently generate prospective residents.

Who We're Looking For
You are energetic, creative, outgoing, and relationship-driven. You enjoy meeting new people, building relationships, networking throughout the community, hosting events, telling stories through social media, and creating experiences people remember.
You're equally comfortable attending a community networking event, developing a new referral relationship, creating social media content, helping host a resident event, or following up with a prospective partner.
Most importantly, you're a self-starter. You don't wait for someone to tell you where to go or who to meet. You actively look for opportunities to put Aviva Hills in front of the right people.
