    From Data Pain to Data Gain: See What You’re Missing

    The rental housing industry is drowning in data yet struggling to get actionable insights. The harsh reality is that most multifamily companies still rely on Excel spreadsheets for their reporting resulting in 80% of analysts’ time being spent on data collation and only 20% on actual analysis.  Real Estate Business Analytics (REBA) is here to flip the script on this “data-rich, actionable data-poor” environment. Centralizing data from various systems of record across your tech stack into one single source of truth cuts down the time and energy it takes to access data, enabling leaders at all levels of the company to make better decisions, faster--the key to driving sustained outperformance. Good business intelligence gives you the data you need, when you need it, formatted how you need it to maximize rental revenue, proactively manage expenses, effectively convert leads to leases and provide great customer service. A BI platform built around these Critical Success Factors leads to a focus on actionability across the organization and accelerates the development of an analytically-driven culture.

    Jen Lovely Executive Vice President and Partner at Conversion Logix

    Are your digital affairs in order?

    It’s a common occurrence to speak with a customer who isn’t prepared to smoothly launch and measure a multichannel campaign. The most successful campaigns are active across many channels including Social, Google Business Profile, and SEO ensuring that your investment in paid search and advertising is enhanced so customers can find you with ease. The setup of holistic campaigns can be tedious and are often thought of as a detail….until something goes wrong!
     
    What you’ll learn:
    • How to prepare for smooth and successful launches of new campaigns.
    • How to ensure your campaigns are not “running blind” without insights for optimizations.
    • Why the role of a trusted advisor ensures redundancy, security, and a smoothly running business.
    We will explore complimentary services that we include with every campaign to ensure your success, and why they are necessary!
