Working weekends is always so unpredictable. Either you don't even have a moment to sit down and breathe or all you're doing is sitting down just waiting for someone to walk through that door. Even though I never knew what to expect, I always enjoyed working the weekends because I knew that no matter what, they'd be productive. How can it be productive, you say, if your slow as a turtle? Well, that's the perfect opportunity get things done! Here's a list of 10 things you can do around your leasing office when you're working the weekend and no one seems to want to visit you!
1. Finish up your paperwork/administrative duties. Surely there's something somewhere that needs to be completed and it will be a great feeling to have it under your belt.
2. Organize your desk. Throw away those ketchup packets and 2 year old lip gloss that have been in your top drawer for ages.
3. Clean the clubhouse. I know, I know, cleaning is no fun, that's why you hire a housekeeper or cleaning service. But, I bet you if you take a walk around, you'll find something that needs to be done. Do some dusting, some straightening, heck, even rearrange some furniture if you feel like it.
4. Organize the package room. If you accept packages for your residents, they can often get very disorganized very quickly. Also, you can use this time to send reminder notices to residents who need to come and pick theirs up.
5. Post some ads online. There are a million free classified websites out there. Can't hurt to list yourself on them!
6. Surf the web for marketing contacts. Research local businesses and make a spreadsheet with their contact information for use later.
7. Brainstorm for your next resident function. Have a few in mind so when the time comes to have them, you already have your plans in order.
8. Phone and email shop some other properties. They don't even have to be in your area. It's always great to hear how other leasing agents handle their traffic. You may get some great ideas, or even learn what NOT to do!
9. Call back residents who have had recent maintenance requests and make sure they're happy with their service.
10. Blog...having a blog for your community gives you yet another footprint on the web each time you make a post.
