We've got your back

What would happen if your voice message was wrong and you didn’t know it? What if caller after caller heard that incorrect message and hung up – and you didn’t know it?

Pretty scary, right? You’re trying to lease-up your property, callers are hanging up, and you don’t know why.

Well, RentLinx has you covered!

For example, I was just reviewing a phone lead for one of our RentLinx Plus! clients and I heard a renter hang up after he got a voice mail message which gave the name of two other communities, but not the community he was calling about. I marked the lead as ‘no charge’ and called the community. They didn’t know that their voice message was incorrect, and immediately corrected it.

We are working hard every day to maximize your time and advertising dollars. I really enjoy the parts of my job where I can go above and beyond to help a client.

Sourcing Your Phone Leads Made Easier

Figuring out where leads are coming from can be tricky. E-mail leads are simple because they’re always branded with the source. But asking where a caller found your ad can sometimes go like this:

Q: “Where did you see our listing?"

A: “The internet.”
A:  “Google?”
A: “Rental…apartments…the rent.com? I don’t remember.”

One of the great features of RentLinx Plus! is being able to see the source of every phone lead. After signing up and receiving a few leads, just click on the “Review Leads” link. You’ll see something like this:

Easy! Try the “Chart View” too for a visual breakdown of lead sources.
