Whew, what a week so far. Wednesday was a pretty amazing day as far as work goes. I have to brag on myself and the two other girl leasing consultants. Allow me to begin at the beginning, so pop some popcorn and grab a coke, and sit back and relax. Or if you are my mom, grab some chocolate, and a cup of coffee, and lean back in your desk chair:) Oh yea and shut the door so you can really enjoy!
Back in October, our sister property, The Edge, had a string of break-ins that really happened because residents didn't lock their front doors and because they never used their security gates. They actually have an on-foot security officer, but apparently it didn't help. Anyay, University Walk (where I live) only had one, but we settled it very quickly. Ever since, we have really stepped up security at UWalk just to be safe. Fast forward to December, when we really started to crank up our leasing season. Coorperate really starts to watch us, and we really start trying to get our current residents to renew. Due to the break-ins, and some other issues, UWalk has had a difficult time getting as many renewals as we had this time last year. Due to this fact, our leasing manager has been doing anything possible to get us motivated to get these renewals. Not only in order for us to recieve our normal bonus, but for us to get on the good list with GMH Communities. We have a goal of 37 renewals by Friday. If we got 37 leases, our property manager promised to take the entire staff to dinner.
So today, our leasing manager sent us three lady LA's out on our annual cookie walk. While on the cookie walk, we were to ask the residents about renewing. Before we left, our leasing manager issued an even bigger challenge to the lady LA's to achieve. If we had 5 people come in as a result of our walk to renew their lease, she would buy just the lady LA's dinner whereever we wanted. Now, as a new LA, this was a little intimidating.
I'm happy to report though, not only did the lady LA's get the cookie walk done, we got 6 renewals as a result of the cookie walk. Yes 6. Needless to say, Jessica, Ashley and myself will be enjoying Olive Garden soon. I'm pretty sure the boy LA's knows who is better now:)
More to follow soon! Hope everyone is having an awesome week!
