One of the biggest misconceptions in property management growth is that you have to spend thousands of dollars every month on paid ads and marketing to consistently add new doors.
You don’t.
When you have the right BDM, focused on the right activities, growth can come from simply executing the fundamentals consistently: prospecting, following up with old leads, building Realtor relationships, networking with investors, asking for referrals, and staying in front of the right people.
Ms. G in San Diego is a great example.
11 new doors in June.
10 in July.
13 in August — with another 13 units pending.
And she did it without a marketing team or marketing investment.
Paid marketing can absolutely help accelerate growth, but it should be a multiplier — not the only thing keeping your pipeline alive.
Give a hungry BDM the right plan, the right training, and the right activities to focus on, and you can build a predictable pipeline without constantly writing bigger checks to Google, Facebook, or another marketing company.
The strategy matters. The activity matters. And the person executing it matters.
