We hope your new year is off to a great start and you are making progress towards fulfilling all of those New Year’s resolutions.  We may not be able to help with you meeting your new exercise goals (except of course, by freeing up free time through the automation of your property management business), but there are a few other resolutions we can help out on.  Below are a few resolutions we hope all of our clients will benefit from:

Promote your business

Almost everyone has a website these days, but does your website actually help your business grow?  PropertyBoss designed websites can not only relay general information about your business but they can also serve as an interactive hub for prospects who are looking to rent properties including the ability to show properties based on availability, securely accept online applications and market your best property…you!

Implement anytime, anyplace, anywhere service options

As Internet use becomes more pervasive, more consumers have come to expect services online. Property managers therefore require the ability to accept payments in a secure fashion over the Internet as well as offering other online services.  PropertyBoss can deliver integrated online solutions that will strengthen your overall profitability through increased revenue, reduced costs and improved operating efficiency, as well as technology performance

Streamline your business process

Improve the way your company operates across the board by streamlining its business processes. PropertyBoss will help you re-invent processes that allow your business to control costs and stay focused on what you do best.

Execute your backup strategy

Implementing a safe and secure backup strategy is a matter not just of business continuity, but also of personal relationship continuity! If all of your digital records were to disappear, it would be devastating both to your business and to your connections with other people. Typically, most contact data stored on handhelds, cell phones and office files is out-of-date. You would not even be able to telephone most people or email them if your records were destroyed. With PropertyBoss you can create backups that happen automatically, quickly and easily, without any intervention.

Implement a process to close accounting periods

Closing accounting periods is an important component in an effective fraud prevention strategy. Once an accounting period is closed, any accounting data in the closed period becomes ‘locked’ and cannot be changed. If you realize that a mistake was made in a previous accounting period, you can enter a manual adjustment into your current accounting period to correct the mistake. If you closed the accounting period prematurely, you can reverse the close and reopen the accounting period.

Email directly from PropertyBoss

The Internet Communications and E-mail Module enables Property Managers to email letters, reports, and newsletters to residents, owners and vendors. This module offers a useful and efficient method to communicate with your clients. The module is now more powerful with our newest release, as PropertyBoss stores a record of all communications sent for easy retrieval and improved record keeping.

Learn how to delegate

There are so many things to do when you’re running a small business, it’s easy to delude ourselves that we need to do all of them.  With PropertyBoss it’s easy to delegate tasks and maintain the proper security settings and role assignments. Delegation is the key to a healthy work-life balance.

Spend more time with family and friends

Recent polls show that more than 50% of Americans vowed to spend more time with family and friends. Make plans to meet up with friends for an evening of comaraderie at a favorite restaurant or take the family to a movie night or weekend getaway. These tips above should help get you started on your way to a more organized and productive office which will allow for more time to spend enjoying the fruits of your labor!
