Why is a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) reporting system essential for today’s property management businesses?
Any Good business practice always starts from knowing where you are at now. Running 10 different reports from 15 different areas in your property management software simply does not provide clarity or make it simple to understand where you are at easily. This is part of the reasons why some business owners have no clue what to look for, where to look for answers and how to look for them.
To operate an efficient, profitable property management business, you need to establish and record a large number of performance indicators for the business that will help the property management team meet (and exceed) clients’ expectations and match their daily, weekly and monthly duties to your internal policies and procedures; but most importantly keep on track with business growth target and future vision.
Without relevant indicators, you will fail to see any shortcomings in performance and eventually some property management clients will move to other agencies for their management needs. It is a known fact that property management processes are demanding and time consuming. Many property managers struggle to handle the pressures and organisational issues that come with the job.
To make the matter worse, it is not surprising to come across property managers who have been in the industry for a long time but were never formally explained what is expected of them, what is good, bad or acceptable performance in order to support the vision of the business and its growth. Consequently, a lot of property management businesses and their teams lack clarity in general on how well (or poorly) they are doing against their past performance and against competitors.
In many cases, property management team members are only told when something goes wrong, because a lot of property management business owners do not recognise when someone is doing a great job.
Can you easily answer the following questions?
- Are your property management team members giving the right attention to the key functions in their roles?
- Did your latest marketing initiative work? How many properties did you bring on-board in the last 3 months from it?
- Is your business growth on track in both property numbers and revenue?
- Do you REALLY know how well your team is performing and how well your property management business is running?
- How do you recognise when someone is doing a great job vs someone who isn’t?
