Strategy #8 - Generating More Leads from Existing Clients (12 minutes)

Growing your rent roll is crucial for a thriving business, and one of the most effective methods is to leverage existing clients to find new leads.

This strategy can turn current clients into raving fans, tapping you into their property investors' network.

Another quote I share with people I’m training is: “Landlords are like fish and they stay together in a school”.

Let’s dive into five key steps to cultivate these opportunities and foster lasting client relationships.

Step 1: Start Meaningful Conversations with Clients

The first step is simply picking up the phone. While it may seem basic, regular check-ins with clients are one of the best ways to gain insights into their satisfaction levels and identify potential referrals.

One of the key things to remember here is that most of the time, your owners are only hearing from your office when there’s an issue, or it’s work-related.

Build relationships and trust, then in turn create raving fans. Through this process, you will begin to identify and generate more leads.

Here are a few conversation starters to get going:

Example Scripts

[Script] “Hi [Landlord Name], it’s [Your Name] from [Your Agency]. I just wanted to check in and see how everything is going, and ask if there is anything that we are doing that we could be doing better or differently for you?”


Other Conversation Starters

Use memorable occasions to reach out, such as the client’s birthday, significant anniversaries, or local events they might enjoy.

Show an interest in their lives and add a personal touch throughout the time being with your company – perhaps wishing them luck during a busy work period or acknowledging their pet on a special occasion.

This effort goes a long way in building trust and rapport.

The goal is to make them feel valued beyond simple property transactions, nurturing them into ‘raving fans’ who would gladly refer you to friends and family.

Step 2: Establish a Consistent Contact Plan

Once you’ve broken the ice, build a blueprint for ongoing contact with your clients. Ideally, aim to check in at least three times a year.

Select various topics to keep each conversation fresh, adding a layer of friendly surprise each time.

Example Contact Plan

• First Call: A casual ‘hello’ call to see how things are going.
• Second Call: A touchpoint around any legislative updates or relevant market changes.
• Third Call: A holiday greeting or a call just to share a relevant update about their property.
• Fourth Call: You may know a hobby they love or travel destinations they enjoy, subscribe to the relevant websites or follow the topics on social media.
• Fifth Call: You may have driven by their property and simply wanted to call and say hi.

Creating a schedule among your team can help keep everyone accountable and ensure these calls remain consistent.

For example, you might dedicate one day each month to client calls, turning it into a team-building activity with incentives for completing the calls.

Step 3: Ask for Referrals and Find New Business Opportunities

By step three, you’ll have established a rapport, making it easier to ask if they know anyone else needing property management.

Clients who feel appreciated and informed are more likely to refer others to your services.

Here’s a simple way to integrate this and even use emotion:

Referral Script

[Script] “As you know, my job is educating people on why to use our services and to bring on new clients. So I would love to ask you a favour. Over the next 12 months, would you be able to refer me just one client? We’d be thrilled to assist anyone needing a reliable property manager.”

You might also enquire about other properties they own. Many clients have additional investments that may not be under professional management, creating an opportunity for you to grow your rent roll.

Step 4: Offer Attractive, Time-Limited Incentives

A compelling incentive can encourage clients to refer others or consolidate their properties with your agency. The key is to offer a ‘Most Incredible Free Gift Ever’ (MIFGE) – a high-value, low-cost reward they’ll genuinely appreciate.

Example Incentives


• Cinema Tickets: Offer tickets to a local cinema, which can be a high-value treat for the client and low-cost for you.
• Special Hampers: A thoughtfully crafted hamper of local treats or a bottle of wine can make a memorable gift.
• Unique Experiences: Provide tickets for an event or local experience. Knowing your client’s preferences makes it easy to tailor this to them.
• Donation to a charity: This could be for a local well-known charity or even a school that their family attends.

Whatever you choose, set a clear deadline for claiming the offer. For example,

[Script] “If you refer a client or bring another property under our management by the end of this month, we’d love to offer you [Incentive].”

This sense of urgency can encourage clients to act promptly.
