Survey the Landlord
- Terry,
my suggestion is simple but powerful - Survey.
Survey Landlords and find out what is important to them.
By doing this it does two things:
1. You will find out trends/under-operated services that Landlords are currently unsatisfied with = your client will be able to fulfill
2. You are infact Marketing your clients services by doign this because when you are approaching your landlords it not a sales pitch and they have someone to clear their frustrations with. Then when you approach them after a month (when you've put your numbers together and identified services that are most important) you can remind them of the survey and share with them the results. At this point you can end with an offer to use your clients services to manage their property.
I use this method with my clients who are looking for new services to develop in thier markets. It's simple but powerful.
Survey Monkey
- Hi ltrahan - interesting concept - how have you found Survey Monkey? Is it a good service?
English teachers learn Japanese as Interns
- Yasunori, what about the many students that leave N. America to teach English in Japan. They may want to learn Japanese (maybe Business Japanese is a bit different) and the Japanese Business Culture.
Post subject: It's Not Personal, just business
- I so agree! Actually, the business world as we know it IS in trouble. I heard some stats last week that they expect by the time 2050 that 70% of workers will be freelancers. Employee/Executive Bullying won't be able to stand it when it could be easier for someone to simply contract with the nicer guy (or gal). I, for one, will be choosing the nicer ones!
