Your property management team cannot manage their workload, tasks are piling up, and tenants are unhappy with your service. Sounds familiar?
Many property management companies are outsourcing tasks to cut costs, free up their team’s workload, and deliver more efficient service to owners and tenants. But is this really the best way to manage your business?
You may save some money, your team may have more time to focus on other tasks, and your clients may be happy with your service. But this is not a long-term solution to managing your business. You are simply dealing with the symptoms. There is a better way to gain what you are hoping to gain from outsourcing! The problem is your current strategy. Implementing better strategies is a long-term solution that not only adds value to your business, but gets rid of the need to outsource. Better strategies allow you to manage every area of your business.
Look at your company’s current strategies. Work out where improvements must be made and how to simplify tasks to achieve the level of service you want to deliver. Put your new strategies in place and start training your team. It’s important your team understands how to consistently manage your company’s strategies in order to deliver a consistent level of customer service.
Also, survey your tenants. Ask them what needs the most improvement. They may even give you some new ideas. Pay attention to their comments and take them into consideration when planning your new strategy. Check in with them after changes have been made to see if it meets their liking.
Outsourcing is a short-term fix to address the symptoms. But if you want to seize the opportunity and deal with the problem, then implementing better strategies and educating your clients is the way to go. It’s the long-term solution you need to keep you, your team, and your tenants happy.
