I find that people that don't leave a message probably weren't worth the time anyway, especially when you have low end rentals available. I personally screen all the calls to see if they are even worth showing, and I have added a google form with the typical questions I ask. This filters out the people that don't like to talk on the phone, and also makes things easier. Thanks for the ideas, they are great.

However visually appealing your advert is, its effect will be negligible if it fails to capture the attention of your intended audience. If the target market is identified early in the planning stages of a campaign, it is much easier to create a simple advert that achieves maximum effect- and when it comes to adverts I really believe that simplicity is key.

Initial contact no matter when that is? My dilemma - initial contact was made 1-1/2 years ago by a leasing consultant who is now the manager of the property, just a few days ago they came in and leased an apartment from me - I made the sale - but the manager who was then the leasing consultant 1-1/2 years ago says the commission is hers. Also, if I make the sale and do all the paperwork should the commission be split between the person who made the original contact? Who should get the commission?
