In today’s market, attention to the little things can have an enormous impact on occupancy and morale.  To get you started…

Salespeople
When is the last time you

Asked your supervisor to come along on a tour and offer honest feedback?

Cleaned the model from top to bottom?

Changed up your presentation by taking a new path or trying different questions?

Told your manager which unit you could get $10 more for?

Reminded yourself you are a great salesperson?

Got current with follow up?

Stayed late or opened the doors early for a client?

Said “thank you” for the support and coaching you receive?

Managers
When is the last time you

Determined pricing by actually visiting competitors to gauge customer experience rather than analyzing a piece of paper?

Spent a day leasing apartments?

Asked an accusatory question like, “Why didn’t you get that lease?”

Determined goals with your people, rather than for them.

Reinforced and praised your salespeople when you catch them consistently doing follow up?

Said, “thank you”?

I have always found that brief "areas of focus" checklists can be very effective.
Thanks for your comment.
