Kevin is with Ben Brand who has proved that even with a worldwide pandemic and lockdown Serviced Accommodation can work through difficult and changing times.
Ben shares his business journey and the adaptations he made when the world went into lockdown.
As someone who has scaled a business successfully, he explains why it’s important to
strive to be the best version of yourself, take risks if you want real change and the critical importance of self-education if you want to create a business that is a win, win for all those involved.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
To grow a business, you have to change your mindset.
Seek self-education and do everything you can to invest in yourself.
Network extensively face to face and on social media. It’s vital to tell people what you are doing.
If you want to scale quickly then management of properties can help you to do this if you offer a quality service.
When you provide a good service, people will come to you.
Working with deal sourcers and establishing positive relationships can help you to scale.
We were able to pivot and provide a service for a range of key workers.
We changed our business model and moved to direct marketing.
We brought many operations in house and this allowed us to take even more on and have the control required to be successful.
The market is changing and the Serviced Accommodation market is now bouncing back.
Multiple units in the same block is a model that we are now moving forward with.
BEST MOMENTS
‘If you want to change yourself you have to be prepared to change your life’
