Peter Lohmann's Newsletter - Issue #114

Long-Form Property Management Content

This week I totally reorganized and cleaned up my YouTube channel, which has a ton of long-form PM content. You can subscribe here, or check out these sections:

1. Process Deep-Dives (more of these coming soon)

2. Conference Talks

3. Peter Lohmann’s Podcast (video version)

4. Wood Window Restoration (slightly off-topic!)

I’m planning to add more long-form video content soon. What topics would you like to see me discuss or demo?

THIS ISSUE IS PRESENTED BY UTILITY PROFIT

I’ve spoken with countless property managers, and utility concierge services come up often. Lately, Utility Profit has been making waves, and it’s easy to see why.

Utility Profit takes a tech-first approach, offering tenants a seamless, self-service platform that cuts out the need for call centers. It’s faster, easier, and a natural part of your process. Tenants can sign up for services quickly through a branded platform that feels like an extension of your company. 

If you’re not currently using a utility setup system, you should be! If you’re evaluating upgrading what utility concierge you’re using, check out Utility Profit. They’re the obvious choice for your company.

Join Me at the PM Ops Summit

The PM Ops Summit is a free virtual training day to help you deep dive into the most important operational framework of the year: the 2024 PM Operations Standards.

Join me on stage with a panel of property management experts. We will:

• Measure client experience at the process level using industry targets

• Identify bottlenecks in your processes that are holding you back

• Optimize your processes with the hacks and best practices of industry top performers

• Prove value by showing clients why your services are worth every dollar, leaving "junk fees" behind for good.

“I’ll catch it later.” 

Nope… chances are, you won’t. Human nature is too predictable. Make the effort to catch it now, so your biggest opportunity doesn’t end up buried in the “someday” pile while you keep doing things the way you’ve always done them (and wishing your results would improve). 

Join the conversation in real-time, so you can benefit from on-the-spot breakout discussions (that won’t be recorded) to help you identify your biggest opportunity and take action NOW, in the “slow season” when your action will really make a difference.

Come join me at the PM Ops Summit on Tuesday, November 12!
