Session I:
Unleashing the Power of ChatGPT: Easy-to-Implement Use Cases for Multifamily Professionals
Curious about the magic of AI and how it can transform your role and on-site operations in the multifamily world? This session is designed especially for Leasing Consultants, Property Managers and Regional Managers and Marketers who want to harness the power of AI without the overwhelm. Join us to demystify AI, explore free AI tools, and discover practical ways you can use them to boost leasing success and create memorable renter experiences. Plus, discover how to keep your authentic voice and brand front and center, even if you do leverage artificial intelligence. Save time, money and valuable resources by becoming more efficient - all by harnessing the power of AI. Leave with a toolbox of ideas to supercharge your leasing and resident interactions. No tech wizardry required – just your curiosity and enthusiasm!

Key Learning Objectives: 
  • Understand what AI really is (& isn’t) so it feels helpful, not scary or hype-y
  • Turn everyday on-site challenges into simple AI prompts that get useful results
  • Use AI to support team training, coaching and consistency for your teams (and yourself!)
  • Discover how AI can turn your boring reports into better decisions and can turn numbers into stories that resonate with your C-Suite and owners
*Bring your laptops for the workshop portion of the training*

Session II:
Video Leasing: Creating Low-Cost Yet Powerful Videos That Convert
In a digital-first world, the competition between management companies can be fierce. Prospects and residents alike have an array of tools at their disposal to help vet their rental experience. Using video to create more engaging experiences for renters has gained notoriety, but there's a problem: video strategy isn't evergreen and leasing teams aren't trained videographers. And, while many leasing teams believed video leasing would be temporary, it’s now become an impactful part of their long-term leasing strategy. Do-it-Yourself video content can be complex, and there are many misconceptions and do’s and don’ts when it comes to creating the perfect video library. So, what are they? We'll lay out how leasing teams can create low-cost yet powerful videos that convert leases. This session will help turn leasing agents into content producers, not just in-person tour guides. With real examples, we'll show you how to make your brand stand out and turn temporary tools into competitive differentiators. Now, it's time to turn 'temporary' tools into competitive differentiators.

Lunch Session:
Copy That: Creating Emails That Tell Your Story and Get Results
Email isn’t sexy, but it’s one of the few items in our leasing toolbox that has remained consistent over the years. And, when managed creatively and effectively, it can exponentially drive more appointments and close more leases at an incredibly low marketing cost. But given the average renter receives 121 emails every day, how can you stand out in their inbox and in the marketplace? By challenging the status quo. Instead of using the same copy+paste template that’s been circulating for years, we’ll review the approach today’s most effective salespeople use to write compelling copy (bonus: it’s not time consuming, either). Learn (and see!) the hacks that will turn ghostings into showings. We’ll cover greetings, closings and details that will help you actually earn a prospect conversation. Watch as we markup standard multifamily email copy examples, turning them into more substantial messaging that sparks curiosity - and a response.
