How many managers there are there worldwide depends on your definition of manager (Hostfully’s excellent 2021 report estimates 140,000) but with new small ones sprouting up daily and supermanagers investing heavily it’s even more challenging. Each business needs replacement or new inventory and the space is crowded. Where do you sit, Struggling, Succeeding, or Selling?
The billion-dollar question (we don’t do millions anymore in VR) is how to accrue that valuable incremental business. Is there a magic bullet? Do owners actually need you? Do you need investment? Is it automation and repetition? Is it the people, the personalities, the training, the psychology or is there a secret sauce? We think there is a solution, but like all good sauces, it has a recipe and ingredients. Are you like many, trying to figure this out? You aren’t alone, far from it!
