Property Manager Training is Key to PMC Growth

"About a third of workers say they don’t have the education and training they need to get ahead, and many are trying to do something about it." - Property Management Insider. How can you ensure that your property management company can handle growth and change? Simple: property manager training is key.

Choose software that provides you with ongoing support and training options.

When you look for a new software solution, it's important to keep training options top of mind. Look for these three features:

1. Easy Implementation

If you're using property management software right now, we understand you need a smooth transition with no loss of revenue as you shift to a new system.

According to a study by Intuit, there's a major change going on in the software realm as more and more companies switch to the flexibility of cloud-based products: "nearly 80 percent of U.S. small businesses will be fully adapted to cloud computing by 2020."

At Propertyware, we pair you with a personal implementation consultant who will work with you to ensure your account is configured to your business needs. In as little as 10-14 business days, we'll work through the following steps together:

• Begin with a kick-off meeting
• Complete a workbook and data collection, with a follow-up call
• Review your business data
• Migrate data within 10 business days
• Review account with a follow-up call
• Ensure that bank reconciliation services are working through a follow-up call one month later.

If your employees are currently working with AppFolio, Tenant Pro, Manage IT, Management Plus, PROMAS, or Property Manager EDGE, we can help migrate your data. We specialize in supporting and training property management professionals.

During your transition, we'll provide a personal implementation consultant to help smooth the way to your new software.

2. Ongoing Property Manager Training and Support

No matter how large or small your property management business is right now, we offer free property management training to anyone who uses Propertyware. We want you to be able to use our software to support your tenants and owners more effectively. If you experience challenges during the process of adapting to your new system, we're here to help.

Jennifer Meitzen of Mars Hill Realty Group said,

"The support agent was excellent in walking me through exactly what steps needed to be taken to correct the error."

• A support page to help with any challenges you experience

3. Learning and Networking Opportunities at Events

While online training is convenient, nothing replaces the level of engagement you have with a real face-to-face connection. During the year, Propertyware makes its way to a city near you for a day of peer collaboration and inspiration. Give yourself and your employees some hands-on training or try out Propertyware for yourself. Our roadshows give you the opportunity to learn more about our products and understand the concerns and opportunities that your peers are facing in the market today.

If you're aiming for even more engagement, connect with us at our annual RealWorld Conference, the annual user conference for Propertyware and RealPage.
