Become the Expert
In the program I go into detail about how to become viewed as a subject matter expert – in our case a Property Management Expert. Here are a few techniques that have worked for me:
1) Write up your experience – it can be overseeing projects at your own house, for friends and family, if you have a real estate sales license, general project manager and customer service experience, any courses you’ve taken.
2) Write an article for a local or state property management periodical – or a blog (even your own blog). If you don’t have experience – do research and write up a how to story. People may see your article and reach out – but even more important – when you go on a sales call you will have an impressive article from a magazine or something that will enhance your credibility.
3) Public speaking – most people are fearful of talking in front of people – so if you can, you will set yourself apart. anyone who speaks will gain credibility – and you can let prospects know the talks you’ve given/been involved with. A bonus is that someone who sees you speak may be a prospect for you. Again, you can research the topic and speak about it to enhance your presentation.
A marketing buzz word these days is to become an industry “thought leader” aka an expert. Experts get people to seek them out – rather than having to use traditional marketing and the associated expense to drive prospects to you. Start working on getting people to seek you out as a property management thought leader and watch your business grow.

If you are looking to start a management business in preparation for the next business down cycle (recession) you came to the right place. The reason I wrote this book and created this companion website with downloadable forms was a direct result of construction, architects and realtors that wanted to have a recurring income stream. […]
People get into property management for many reasons. There is the recurring income, for some it is working with people, for others it is the ability to get out of the office and help onsite. But the hang up for some is they don’t like accounting, so what are you to do? When starting […]
