Balancing Admin and Growth: Time Management Tips for BDMs

Business Development Managers (BDMs) in property management juggle lead generation, networking, admin, and follow-ups—often all in one day. To grow your rent roll efficiently without burning out, time management is key.

Time-Block for Lead Generation

Dedicate specific times each day solely for prospecting and follow-ups. This protects your focus and ensures growth tasks don’t get buried under admin.

Automate Repetitive Tasks

Use CRM tools and email templates to handle repetitive inquiries, appointment confirmations, and follow-ups.

Batch Admin Tasks

Group similar admin duties (e.g., reporting, data entry, social content scheduling) and handle them in one focused block to minimise context switching.

Delegate or Outsource

If you’re spending hours updating spreadsheets or creating marketing assets, it may be time to delegate these tasks so you can focus on building relationships and closing leads.

Use a Weekly Growth Plan

Each Friday, review your wins, schedule your key growth tasks for the week ahead, and reset priorities. Stay aligned with your rent roll goals.
