The Challenge

When Mack Property Management was looking for a new multifamily CRM provider for their 5,204 portfolio, they wanted a provider who would not just solve for the challenges of today including customer satisfaction, and scaling their team’s impact with AI and automation, but would be flexible and iterate to solve for future challenges.

The Solution

They found their solution in Funnel’s renter-centric architecture with its marketing automation and AI built directly into the CRM (versus disconnected point solutions).

Our Results

Implementing Funnel across their portfolio boosted Mack’s prospect sentiment score to 88%, increased their lead conversion to 84% (from 78%), and their community loyalty scores increased to 80% (from 76%).

Testimonials

We noticed our customer base expressing much more satisfaction in the leasing process. With our prospect surveys, we are starting to see those scores increase, and the feedback improving. ”

“If your chatbot lives outside your CRM, you can’t track the conversation, with Funnel’s VLA (Virtual Leasing Agent) the team can actually refer back to what the VLA said when they’re on a tour, creating more value for the customer because it’s seamless. If you have a point solution, they can’t, because it’s not as seamless for the customer or the onsite team.

“Prospects are saying that ‘they got answers very quickly, they got their questions actually answered’ and I know sometimes that doesn’t happen when it’s a human that misses a question. AI and marketing automation don’t miss the question.”

Team can lean on true marketing automation

Funnel’s AI and automation take manual tasks off teams’ plates. 

They were so overwhelmed with the manual follow-up that it just wasn’t happening Pre-Funnel. No matter what you said, what you did, how you incentivized, they just couldn’t figure out how to fit all the follow-up into their day,” said Angela Flick, VP of Strategic Solutions Mack Property Management. “And now, I think they’re starting to see with Funnel how the marketing automation piece can really contribute to overall success, which ultimately impacts their pocketbook.” 

As many leasing teams are incentivized by leases signed, and keeping occupancy high, both Funnel’s marketing automation and Virtual Leasing Agent take care of routine manual follow-up. This frees leasing teams to focus their attention on decision-ready renters and closing leases. 

8%

Adding Funnel’s automation increased lead conversion by nearly 8% (7.69% to be exact). 

Seamless for the customer and the onsite team

Single-solution challengers fracture data and the renter experience. Funnel’s AI solution, the Virtual Leasing Agent, is built directly into the CRM. This ensures that there aren’t data silos in the tech stack, and that guest cards are automatically updated with preferences and valuable information that the VLA can parse out of conversations with prospective renters. This arms your team with the information they need to provide a personalized tour and leasing experience.

The Virtual Leasing Agent being layered into our Funnel CRM is the cherry on top for us. It gives us a fully integrated view of the conversation and the information that the customer received,” said Angela Flick, VP of Strategic Solutions Mack Property Management. “If your chatbot lives outside your CRM, you can’t track the conversation, with Funnel’s VLA the team can actually refer back to what the VLA said when they’re on a tour, creating more value for the customer because it’s seamless. If you have a point solution, they can’t, because it’s not as seamless for the customer or the onsite team.”
