We’ll learn today what’s best for property management: portfolio, hybrid, or departmental. NPS scores going south, and how you know when your NPS score is going south, is another issue Todd and I talk about. Renting to some professions can be difficult, we give you a solution to renting to people who want to change your lease agreement. The best sales solution for your property management company, how to implement secret shoppers to find out what your competition is doing and selling to make sure your business is staying competitive. When you should hire a lawyer, raise your fees and how to get new clients in the door are the topics we cover in this episode.
