The multifamily industry has many options when it comes to solutions that claim to deliver optimal results for both clients and renters. But which ones actually do? According to Multi-Housing News<\/a>, the answer lies in automation and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n

Chatbots powered by natural language and AI that extend beyond predetermined conversations, for example, offer communities the chance to create meaningful online engagements, all while increasing conversions and advancing innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But not all prospects want to engage with a chatbot \u2014 at least not at first. You need to be aware of how leads find your website, and understand that real engagement \u2014 the kind that converts \u2014 might be infrequent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when it comes to using AI-based systems for multifamily marketing, aim for quality over quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out an excerpt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe visitor has to hit the website first, and they have to elect to engage,\u201d Paul Yount, industry principal at Yardi, explained to Multi-Housing News. \u201cThere\u2019s a fairly large segment of the population that doesn\u2019t want to engage with a chatbot; they know it\u2019s a machine, and they think that it won\u2019t be helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the quality and reliability of leads matters infinitely more than the number of engagements, something facilitated by an acute use of automation. RentCafe Chat IQ is an AI-powered bot that features active, engaging responses, such as automated email responses and phone calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou really have to go beyond the chat for both business and operation efficiency and make sure that you\u2019re getting consumers from all those different channels,\u201d Paul Yount detailed. \u201cThe volume of chat is notably lower than email and web leads\u2026much lower than phone calls, emails and potentially [text-based] leads. Consequently, such engagements significantly enhance lead quality and potential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Two things change the game for good when it comes to converting prospects and keeping residents happy with a chatbot: natural language processing and omnichannel features. Let\u2019s dive in on what makes each so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural Language Processing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A chatbot that can overcome casual language, spelling errors and grammar mistakes can simulate a more humanlike conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural language chatbots open opportunities of flexible conversation, enabling customers to ask questions pertaining to policies, schedule tours and ask much more in their own way, compared to chatbots that limit customers with predetermined questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This enables your chatbot to deliver personalized customer service, meeting your customers where they\u2019re at, every time, no matter when they reach you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Omnichannel Features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More often than not, leads slip through the cracks because their initial inquiries were ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Yount, \u201cNobody says, \u2018If only we had more leads!\u2019 You don\u2019t have a lead quantity problem; you have a lead quality and qualifying problem, one where the leasing team simply can\u2019t handle all the inbound communication.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But keeping a tight grip on inbound communication is possible. How? With a smart bot that can field questions across multiple channels. A bot that can automate responses to emails, texts, chats and calls frees up your staff and increases the possibilities of gaining quality leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next Steps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
