Management Marketplace Opportunity

Last fall one of our property managers decided to leave for an out of state opportunity.  On short notice I was able to find a replacement.  Unfortunately, 3 months later the replacement felt he was not cut out to be a property manager and resigned.  Fortunately I continuously meet new people and get contacted by professionals who want to work with our team.  I was able to find and hire a more experienced senior manager and our team is now more talented due to these transitions.

The fallout from employee turnover/transition for a larger management organization is the client can become anxious, annoyed, items take longer to complete or can fall thru the cracks – then the relationship ends. 

Other ways accounts turn over in the management business: new personalities don’t get along, clients bid out for a lower price, a project took longer or cost more than expected and the relationship ends.

This is where you, the individual practitioner has an opening to pitch and win business.  One clear benefit is that you will manage the account yourself – and they can rest assured you won’t fire yourself or quit causing them a transition :-)

Good luck prospecting.

New Year’s Resolutions

Taking stock at the end of the year and then deciding what you want to do differently in the coming year is necessary.  I had a friend tell me he bought a white board and turned a den in to his “war room” to chart out his 2013 financial goal.  Writing out your goal and [...]
