Let’s share a strategy called “TLC“ that we use here at Resident360!
TLC stands for Traffic, Leads, and Customers and it helps me quickly identify areas where I need to improve my marketing each month. It’s super easy to follow (always a plus), and I am confident you will see the value as well.
T – Traffic
For example:
Make it a habit to look at the sources every month and see what you can do to maximize that traffic. Consider having a Digital Dashboard to visually show you what’s happening.
A second part of the traffic model is to identify one or two additional traffic sources you’re not utilizing but should test.
L – Leads

C – Customers
Review your leasing process, making sure you have a step-by-step plan that covers the time frame from when you receive the email, phone call, or walk-in lead all the way to converting them into a resident. Then examine each step of your process to see if you can improve it. Some ideas to try:
One final tip: Start treating prospects like residents before money changes hands. Demonstrate your willingness to provide service and assistance. It just may provide the incentive they need to make the leap to a resident.
