ROSS Management Boosts Online Results with Property Solutions Single, Open Platform

Saturday, February 15th, 2014


Lehi, UT (PRWEB) January 09, 2014

ROSS Management Services, 12,000-unit multifamily residential affiliate of Maryland-based ROSS Companies, announced strong performance in online participation after the launch of Property Solutions single, open platform. Since implementation began in October, the company has seen more than 60 percent resident participation in online rent payments at select properties, and a portfolio-wide average of 50 percent conversion from lead to completed online application.

Our overall goal is to enhance the customer experience and to make it easy for them to do business with us, said Elaine De Lude, Chief Marketing Officer at ROSS. Migrating to Property Solutionswhere everything works together as onemakes everything seamless for the customer, from the time they reach the website, all the way through the leasing process, until move-out and beyond.

ROSS uses Property Solutions free, open API to customize their online experience and integrate their data in real time without charge. It allows the customer to interact uniquely with a particular multifamily property website without leaving or redirecting to a separate page for tools like applications, payments, pricing and availability. The result is higher conversion and lower drop-off, as De Lude explained, Its one-stop shopping for them. They dont have to leave our site.

According to ROSS, the freedom of Property Solutions open platform benefits their bottom line beyond the integration fees that typically accompany multifamily software. Theres such a quick influx of innovation happening, multifamily companies need to have a foundation of technology that provides flexibility. If some new product is launched, and you have a platform that doesnt allow you the flexibility to adapt, then youre stuck, said De Lude. Especially when other stakeholders, such as property owners or even residents, show interest in a new piece of technology, if your company doesnt have a platform that can support that then it really puts you at a competitive disadvantagenot only at the property level, but the corporate level as well.

Property Solutions maintains a long-standing commitment to free third-party integrations and provides open API documentation for an array of web services. This led to a smooth collaboration between third-party designers, Property Solutions, and ROSS when the company launched its new website for The Crest at Congressional Plaza in December. Their cooperative approach speaks highly towards all aspects of customer service, said De Lude. Complete information on Property Solutions’ product offering and company background is found at http://www.propertysolutions.com.

Nigel Danson, CEO & Founder of Interact Intranet says:

It is great to see companies starting to fully embrace and realise the advantages of deploying social features successfully on their intranets. At Interact we believe social tools can bring massive competitive advantages when aligned to how people work; however on their own theyre not enough.

Daniel Lemire Launches Growth Coach Master Franchise in the Province of Quebec, Canada

Friday, February 14th, 2014


Terrebonne QC, Canada (PRWEB) January 31, 2014

Businessman Daniel Lemire is looking forward to expanding The Growth Coach into French Canada and helping business leaders find success and balance as a Growth Coach Master Franchise owner for the whole province of Quebec.

The Growth Coach is the worlds leader in group coaching, the #1 Business Coaching Franchise in the United States according to Entrepreneur Magazine and the only coaching franchise dedicated to helping business leaders find both success at work and balance in life.

As a Master Franchise owner, Daniels company is two-fold. While hell be serving small business owners and leaders, management professionals, sales teams and self-employed professionals with The Growth Coachs signature services in its own locale of Terrebonne, hell also be offering Growth Coach franchise opportunities to other potential Growth Coaches across the province of Quebec.

Ive been in business for myself since 1994 and most of what Ive learned, I learned the hard way. In the geo-marketing consulting business I own, Ive worked with large international companies and franchise organizations. The franchise world has always interested me, but I didnt see myself managing restaurants or in a retail environment. Thats when I found business coaching and The Growth Coach. I looked into other coaching systems companies and the concepts were interesting, but when making my final decision, The Growth Coach came out ahead of the competition said Daniel. As a Growth Coach, Ill be able to help other businesses shorten the path to success by avoiding some of the mistakes most entrepreneurs make.

The Growth Coach was recently included in the Bonds Top 100 Franchises and has been recognized in Entrepreneur Magazines Franchise 500 as the #1 Business Coaching and Consulting Franchise as well as in the magazines Best of the Best and Top Home-Based Business listings.

While the Growth Coach works with a varied clientele, the business roots are in helping small business owners learn to work less and earn more. Its that niche that Daniel is especially looking forward to filling in French Canada.

We are a province with the least penetration of national brands and the highest number of mom and pop shops. You still have those small, local places here and that makes it a perfect place for a business like The Growth Coach. Many small business owners can benefit from the services we can offer, Daniel said.

In addition to his role with The Growth Coach, Daniel, and his wife of 20 years Jos

Thursday, February 13th, 2014


San Diego, CA (PRWEB) January 07, 2014

Real Living Lifestyles has a very special group of agents and staff in their Escondido office. The office held their annual White Elephant Auction/Holiday Party last week for the third year in a row. All week agents bring in items to put on display, and at the party they auction them off and donate the proceeds to Interfaith Community Service. Interfaith implements comprehensive programs to provide basic needs, social services, counseling, and economic development to empower the disadvantaged in our community. This year they raised $ 2300 for the Interfaith Community Service.

The agents this year were so proud of what a great success the auction was. “Wow, what a group of fun loving, from the heart, real estate professionals we have in our Escondido office. The festive celebration of the holiday season, was only overshadowed by the Real Living Lifestyles gift of giving from the heart. I have never seen so many people pay so much for white elephant auction items in the spirit of giving to charity,” said real estate agent Steve Webber.

Ken Maculan, another participating agent in the Escondido office commented, We appreciated all the contributions that were collected and our great office spirit to help less fortunate at this time of the year!

Real Living Lifestyles agents believe that their work is not just about houses, it’s about people. At the end of the day what matters most is improving the lifestyles of San Diego residents, and community service is just of the ways this brokerage does that!
