In this insightful episode of the Student Housing Insight Podcast, host Wesley Deese and guest Alexis Krisay, founder of Serendipit Consulting, tackle a critical topic: how leasing teams can better engage with prospects. Drawing from experiences that student residents described at the recent LeaseCon+TurnCon event, Wesley and Alexis discuss why strong interpersonal connections are crucial to creating memorable leasing experiences and how the industry can overcome challenges in training staff for relationship-driven sales. Hear real feedback from a student panel about their leasing experiences—some surprising, others disappointing—and gain actionable tips for transforming leasing agents into dynamic, customer-focused professionals. Alexis also shares her expertise on role-playing exercises, using DISC assessments, and fostering rapport to improve sales performance and resident satisfaction.
