WHAT KEEPS YOU UP AT NIGHT? How do I add more doors? How do I spend my marketing dollars more effectively? What market should I be targeting? How can I become more profitable?

WHY GROW YOUR BUSINESS ? SAFETY IN NUMBERS THE BUSY RESTAURANT No one client should comprise more than 5% of your income A diversified portfolio is a safe one SAFETY IN MORE STAFF No one is indispensable. Cross train & keep them on their toes. SPECIALIZED LABOR Have people do a few things well. Let staff focus on fewer moving parts. STACK ‘EM DEEP AND SELL ‘EM CHEAP Smaller margins but bigger volume Profit a little on a lot. ECONOMIES OF SCALE More properties means better scale Price to the future scale THE BUSY RESTAURANT People like to eat where others are eating. People won’t spend a dollar of their money or a minute of their day for a bad experience. MORE MARKETING DOLLARS If 10% of your gross dollar goes to marketing, more is better. BETTER RESALE Many company value your business on gross income not net profit. More ancillary income. IF YOU ARE NOT GROWING, YOU ARE CONTRACTING Attrition rate of 2 to 3% of your properties - it is inevitable.

WHY ARE THEY SMIPO-ING? SMIPO OBJECTIONS I can’t afford to pay a company. There is no profit to pay a company. Property management companies charge too much. I prefer to save the money and do it myself. I don’t trust property management companies. Property management companies will rip you off. I enjoy managing my own properties. I have nothing better to do. Property management companies like to nickel and dime. They may seem like a good deal, but they have hidden fees. Property management companies have terrible customer service. They are notoriously bad. I care more about my property than they do. They may be good, but they won’t take care of my property like I will. Their vendors overcharge and do bad work. I only trust my vendors. I have a personal relationship with the tenants. My tenants are my friends.

WHY ARE THEY SMIPO-ING?

WHY DO THEY STOP BEING SMIPOS ?

WHAT DO THEY THINK OF US?

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO USE US?

WHEN DO THEY FEEL THE PAIN? WHEN DO OWNERS TIRE OF MANAGING THEIR OWN PROPERTIES? THE PAIN POINTS: Assessing potential tenants Acquiring quality tenants Coordinating vendors for repairs Finding quality vendors to do those repairs Lease up – cleaning, showing, screening and contract execution Breach of contract for non-payment Breach of contract for violation of terms The eviction process Lock-outs & abandoned property Effective marketing of vacant rentals (creepy Craigslist) Move-ins Move-outs Keeping in compliance with tenant laws Going to small claims for security deposit disputes At times of emergencies

THE ONLY 2 REASONS TO CALL YOU THE OWNER WON’T DO IT. When an owner decides their time is more valuable than the time is takes to manage their own properties, they hire a property management company. If an owner makes $120,000 a year, or $62.50 an hour, and it takes 2 hours a month to manage their property, they are better off hiring a company. That’s why most people don’t wash their car – they do it better, faster and at a lower cost. THE OWNER CAN’T DO IT. When an owner decides they don’t have the skill, temperament, time or technology to do it themselves, they hire a property management company. People skills Legal skills Out of area Technology Patience

ARE YOU READY FOR 2020? If you are not growing, you are contracting. If you are not improving, you are falling behind the competition. If you are not targeting SMIPOs, you are missing at least 70% or more of the market. If you are not implementing technology to increase profits, reduce costs, improve efficiencies and provide stellar customer service; others are. If you cannot compare your company side-by-side to your biggest and best competitor, the public will. If you cannot communicate your value propositions to prospective clients, you may not be of value to them. If you are not ready for 2020, you stand to lose business to property management companies that are.
