PropertyManagementMaven: Little GOLD Star * I Almost Did Not Blog About It * Silly me!!

Little GOLD Star * I Almost Did Not Blog About It * Silly me!!

I almost did not think it was important.  Then I started reading other posts about getting referrals and I realized that's how I grow my property management business. 

Sales agents get referrals from other agents, their current and past clients, friends and relatives.  Property managers get OUR referrals from other property managers, current clients and other agents.

When I was discussing with current clients about some referrals they had given me, I had not realized that my turning DOWN business would get me a 3 Featured Posts and my FIRST FEATURED Post.

If you don't have one yet, keep blogging and it will come.  If you do have one, you know the feeling that makes you want to get more!!

Very nice.  I read your post and commented on it. I can understand that your clients didn't hear WHY you declined the business.  People are funny that way.  They like to blame the other person.

Don * I wanted my clients to know that their friends' properties did not fit my management portfolio which did not make them BAD, just not a fit for my management.

Getting a star is like getting a BOOST!  The Recognition seems like a validation.... especially for the Property Managers!  Don't just stop with ONE... ya heah??

Congrats Wallace. I also have one lonley star ... it was a very quick write ... the posts I get the best response from are the ones that come from a quickly and the ones that show who I am rather than somewhat academic.
