You’re finishing up the notes on a guest card. Your manager asks, “Was that a successful leasing call?” As a trained leasing professional, you start your mental checklist:
You didn’t give a price the first time the prospect asked, “How much is a two bedroom?” You took control of the conversation. You were able to answer all of the prospects questions, using descriptive phrases, and incorporating open ended questions of your own. Your guest card is complete with the prospects contact information. You know how the prospect heard about your property.As you check off each of these objectives, you’re thinking, “That was a pretty good call, I used my skills, provided information, and gave a good sales presentation.”
But what truly is the goal of a leasing call?
CONVERTING THE CALL TO WALK IN TRAFFIC.
The goal of the phone call is to create enough interest for the individual to make an appointment and visit the property.
How quickly can you include the language “When can you visit our property?” into your leasing presentation?”
Challenge yourself to incorporate three invitations to visit the property into every leasing call. We focus on our curb appeal and appearance of our model apartment homes to impress our prospects. This in-person picture can easily be worth the thousand words, let your property sell itself.
Remember the purpose of a leasing call; to make an appointment!
