Automated Work
A network of automated systems can help your property management business immensely. Whether your goal is to save time, cut costs, or even protect yourself from potentially bad situations, automation may be the answer. Let’s look at three proven things an automated system can help you do:
- Screen phone calls
- Accept automated payments
- Cut down on wasted time
1) Screen Phone Calls
Directing every phone call to a single receptionist or answering machine spells disaster as messages get lost or never sent to the right person. With an automated system, you can easily screen phone calls to decide who the caller needs to speak to. Your clients will be happy they got to speak to the right person so quickly, and you’ll be happy that the constant string of phone calls is somewhat under control.
Pro Tip: An automated phone screening system also helps to weed out spam callers, preventing you from wasting time and potentially compromising security on these calls.
2) Accept Automated Payments
Can you accept automatic payments from your tenants? If not, now’s the time to start. In our technology-driven world, more and more people prefer to set up an automatic payment rather than hand you cash or a check. Setting up an automated payment system will satisfy your clients and help you keep better track of your income.
3) Cut Down on Wasted Time
While no automated system is perfect, it can certainly take the burden of many menial tasks and call screenings off of you. With more time to dedicate to your properties and clients, you don’t have to worry about the long list of less important tasks because your automated system takes care of them for you. Whether you opt for a virtual answering service, electronic payment system, both, or something entirely different, an automatic system can cut down your to-do list and free up your day for more important work.
