Triggers
A distinct event that
“forces” someone to have
a need that may be
immediate, short or long
term, but that would
inspire a search now!
Why Are You Here?
@simmonet
My boss ‘asked’ me to
Tickles
The inspiration, influence
or information that moves
someone into the moving
/ rental mindset and / or
puts your property into
their consideration set.
Why Are You Here?
@simmonet
You will learn much, Grasshopper
How Can You Help?
• If people are moving, we need
to offer information to help them
decide to what & where
• If people haven’t decided if or
where they’re moving, maybe
we can inspire a move & choice
through info or conversation

• Important throughout RDJ
• You should be in the right place,
at the right time, with the right

The End of one Renter’s Journey is
the beginning of their next!
Build:
Social Media: Platforms
You don’t have to be
everywhere
But you do need to be
somewhere
@simmonet
Testing
“Courage. Ain’t it the truth?”
Courage: Testing
• Always tie into goals
• Test to optimize conversions*
• Let data decide what / outcome
• “Significance” + Gut
Courage: Testing
• Always tie into goals
• Test to optimize conversions*

*Your conversions may vary
Isn’t testing scary?
Wizard of Oz:
Frightened? Child, you're
talking to a man who's
laughed in the face of
death, sneered at doom,
and chuckled at
catastrophe…
Dorothy:
Weren't you frightened?
I was petrified.
Testing Mantra
If you can’t track it…
You can’t measure it…
If you can’t measure it…
You can’t test it.
Now THAT’S scary!
