Coaching & Workshops

SAS three pack

We do offer a monthly onboarding training in our office classroom that clients partake in with on-boarding and refresh training, that we loving refer to as our 3-in-1. This is a great option if you only have a couple of folks or looking for consistent training for new hires.

10am to 11:30am ABC’s of Leasing

We wrote this course to cover the basics of what folks are graded
on in a Mystery Shop.  We cover first impressions, completing the guest card, demonstrating the
brochure, touring, closing the sale and follow up. This course covers the full resident cycle and is a
great overall introduction or refresh on the industry.

11:45am-1:00pm It’s A Bird… It’s A Plane… It’s Great Customer Service

This class focuses specifically in the impact of customer service in our industry and how it effects the bottom line.  This course covers what customer service is, who is doing good, and my most favorite part a real understanding that customer service training isn’t one and done, it’s something you practice and improve on in every single interaction with your customer.  Lastly we talk about body language and how to hone and use your Super Hero body language skills to positively impact the customer experience!  (Our maintenance staffers typically join us for this and FH, however many have said that they did take something from ABC’s of Leasing)

1:15pm-3:30pm Fair Housing=Happy Housing

When we authored this class originally in 2013 we partnered with Continental Management and shot 18 video scenario/reenactments with their staff on site.  8+ of those scenes are featured in the class and each and every month that we teach this class, a new conversation ensues.  This class covers practical applications on how to deal with whopperslike “What Kind Of People Live Here?” and Hoarding remedial action plans to name a few.  We have been told by many, that this is the first non-boring Fair Housing class they have taken, and that they take a lot away.
