To improve client investment decisions, I developed a deep understanding of current market data, including rents and available concessions. I streamlined the sales process by creating a proprietary database of local investors, which I used to identify and target prospective clients. This effort included upgrading evaluation processes and accelerating sales cycles. I also leveraged various communication channels, such as texting and email campaigns, to connect with potential clients and drive business. My strong interpersonal skills were key in building relationships and successfully closing deals. Key Accomplishments: • Supported the Executive VP in project development and management. • Achieved a 15%-20% increase in meaningful leads through new email campaign tactics. • Listed a tenant-relocation deal for a Dance Studio in Anaheim. • Managed and drove potential "Monster-deals" that positioned the company for significant future commissions. • Refined the company's proprietary database, reactivating dormant deals and generating new leads through diligent data management. • Minimized language gaps, securing previously inaccessible leads and deals, including the sale of a 4-unit apartment in Long Beach, which involved navigating complex divorce proceedings and communicating effectively with exclusively Spanish-speaking owners.
