THE PROPERTY MANAGER PLAYBOOK

This Week's Mission

Most contractors chase one homeowner at a time.

Property managers, HOA managers, and apartment managers already have dozens—or even hundreds—of properties that constantly need work.

Your goal this week is to begin building relationships with the people who hire contractors over and over again.

Why This Works

A homeowner might hire you once every few years.

A property manager may need someone every month.

One good relationship can become a steady stream of work.

Step 1 – Build Your List

Find 15 local companies that manage:

  • Apartment complexes

  • HOA communities

  • Rental homes

  • Commercial properties

  • Office buildings

Write down:

  • Company

  • Contact name

  • Phone

  • Email

Step 2 – Research Before Contacting

Visit their website.

Look for:

  • Properties they manage

  • Services they mention

  • Maintenance contacts

Know who you're talking to before you call.

Step 3 – Reach Out

Keep it simple.

Example:

Hi, my name is ________. I own a local __________ company. I know you probably work with contractors regularly, so I wanted to introduce myself in case you ever need another dependable company to help with your properties.

Don't try to sell.

Start a relationship.

Step 4 – Leave Something Useful

Instead of just dropping off a business card...

Create a one-page sheet that includes:

  • Services

  • Service area

  • Photos

  • Insurance status

  • Contact information

Make it easy for them to remember you.

Step 5 – Follow Up

A week later...

Send a short email.

Just wanted to thank you for taking a few minutes to speak with me last week. If you ever need help with one of your properties, I'd love the opportunity to earn your business.

Professional.

Short.

Memorable.

Step 6 – Stay on Their Radar

Every few months...

Send one update.

Examples:

  • New equipment

  • New service

  • Seasonal reminder

  • Before-and-after project

Don't disappear.

Weekly Challenge

Contact 10 property management companies this week.

Not emails only.

Actually call or stop by.

Your goal isn't to land a job today.

It's to become the contractor they think of when they need one.

Don't This Week

❌ Beg for work.

❌ Ask if they have anything available today.

❌ Send generic mass emails.

❌ Give up after one conversation.

Relationships take time.

Why Most Contractors Skip This

Because it doesn't produce instant gratification.

But the contractors with the most consistent schedules usually have recurring commercial relationships that homeowners never see.

One property manager can easily be worth more than dozens of one-time customers.

Final Thought

The easiest way to stop worrying about where your next job is coming from...

...is to build relationships with people who always have another property that needs work.

Stop chasing one job.

Start building one relationship that leads to many.
