Within 12 weeks, I was able to solve the problem by:1. Observing staff interaction with prospective residents, re-training staff and realigning values strategies.2. Making connections within the community, creating and delivering marketing packets. 3. Property inspections upon each move-out and major maintenance issue. 4. Creating a "moving model" kit with a $1500 budget to be utilized in any apartment being shown.5. Personally offered showings 7 days a week to parents and incoming students.
