Leasing always has its highs and its lows; there is only a few things that are controllables when it comes to closing prospects and one is keeping a great attitude! Being optimitic when things are slow is a challenge but when you can do it, you are know you are going to make big numbers! Music is a great way to pick yourself up!!! I totally agree with this blog!

SO true - all of it! This industry is filled with smart, energetic people that have been running a continual uphill marathon for a long, long time. Sometimes it can be so hard to get motivated! You have mentioned in previous articles how important it is for everyone to differentiate their properties. Creating a positive, upbeat atmosphere in your leasing offices is a HUGE way to do this! Remember that A) your prospects are exhausted and living in a down economy where they are feeling the negativity of the times each and every day and B) so are your competitors. Everyone is yearning to feel positivity!! Aching for it!! So be that positive force in your prospects life!! Be the "feel good" office that they want to call home!! People are naturally drawn to positivity - some more than others. The more positive you are, the more positive residents you will attract = the more positive experience for everyone = happier residents = fewer move outs and more referrals = more fun for everyone!! We need to jump start the positivity in our industry - everyone can do their part. I totally agree with the aspect of music boosting the energy in a room, Daisy! What a great way to start moving in the right direction! To answer your question - I totally use music to pump up my attitude, my energy, my life! When I go running or when I have a particularly tired morning where coffee is just not doing the trick... I listen to Kanye West, Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake, Jump Around (GO BUCKY!), LADY GAGA!!, etc. (Disclaimer: while Kanye, Dr. Dre and Emeniem have the unique ability to make my tired behind run around the lake, I do not encourage blasting rap music in your leasing offices! - see Daisy's awesome suggestions above). You have the power to turn the "doom and gloom" of the times into something so much more positive and inspiring! Everyone can do their part! Oh - and in response to my good friend Amy's post....I laugh at inappropriate things with her and I too do not take myself too seriously. :) BE HAPPY!! Kari Yes Daisy!! SO true – all of it!
