Background

About Michele Nauta

My passion for working in the Senior Living industry is deeply rooted in a personal story of my Grandma and her experience multiplied by the over 1500 senior clients I worked with at SFR. Now being part of the Vigil team, I enjoy working with communities’ leaders and caregivers to employ technology solutions that ensure and elevate the level of care and security for the residents. I am highly organized, focused, self-motivated, compassionate, empathetic, tenacious, and exceptionally dependable; these qualities are the keys to my success in both my personal and professional life. Recently, I overhauled the sales training program at an international company. The comprehensive program is now used to quickly upskill sellers in unfamiliar products and processes. I am proud of this body of work and its continued implementation. Previously, I was in field sales leadership. Through teamwork and guidance of local sellers, I elevated the channel relationships and strengthened the business across a four-state area. I received multiple sales awards, and more importantly, the sellers I worked with also received numerous awards for their achievements. The most enlightening accomplishment of my career was in the emerging field of Senior Move Management. Building a business from the ground up taught me invaluable lessons in people management, business relationships, risk management, decision-making, leading and motivating a team, and turning a profit. Selling the business and knowing it would be efficiently run by the team I had in place was a joyous decision that allowed me to move to Kansas. Prior to putting my entrepreneurial dream into action, I was in Key Account and Distribution sales. I earned Sales Rep of the Year in 2004 by selling multiple large-scale accounts and by growing the incumbent business.
