Perfect Place to Day Game
Posted: Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:42 pm
Let me preface this by telling you what I do for a living. I'm an asset manager for apartment complexes. This means that I over see the financial performance of each apartment complex in my territory (which is basically just Dallas). My job is to ensure that each property performs the best it can perform given the age, condition, location, and competition of the property.
As such, I have to spend time shopping comps. Essentially, I go to the closest competitors, walk in the office, introduce myself, and talk to the leasing agents and property managers. It's an industry courtesy to allow your competitors to tour your property and to discuss the rents and 'deals' they are currently offering. This may seem counter-intuitive, but it's in everyone's best interest that we all understand how we're running our property.
So, there's the background. Now, for the technique:
Apartment complexes are the PERFECT place to run game. Seriously perfect. A good 90% of the people that work in the office at a property are women. More than that, since these women are interfacing with the public all day and are in sales they tend to be attractive. Furthermore, they are a captive audience. You literally have 15 - 20 minutes with them to game them. The interaction is almost ALWAYS one-on-one.
So, for successful apartment day game here are some pointers:
1) Don't be afraid to bring a wing man with you. Just state that you're looking for a two or three bedroom. Obviously, you need to have an agreement with your wing reading which one is doing the gaming and which is winging otherwise you'll just cock block each other.
2) The nicer the apartment, the hotter the chicks. Pick places in Uptown, newly constructed apartments, and places Downtown to find the hottest chickas.
3) You need to have a background story as to why you are moving. This can be the absolute biggest lie you've ever told, no biggie she doesn't know your past just your future with her. Be sure to DHV as much as possible but in a matter of fact way.
4) Don't be afraid to ask her questions. Where do you live? Do you like that area? Where do you hang out? Etc. Get her to talk about herself, it will seem less like a sale on her part and more like a normal conversation. While you're talking to her be sure to neg, qualify, be cocky/funny (body language is sure important because it will be you and her in an empty room with no distractions), AND give her a nickname (it'll come in handy later).
5) Don't go for the close on the first visit. She'll know it was just a farce. Instead, give her your information and take her card. Chances are very high that she'll follow back up with you (if I found one of my leasing agents not following up they'd be one of my FORMER leasing agents). But, I'm not sure you want to wait for her to contact you. It may be better to call her and tell her that you found a great place that you cannot turn down (she might ask why and where...so be prepared to name a place and tell her that the property just wowed you). The conversation can go like this:
Bull Run: "HB Leasing Lady, or should I call you [insert nickname]?" Don't give her your name, if she liked you she'll remember you. By not giving your name, it gives you a chance for her to give you an IOI.
HB Leasing Lady: "Hahaha. Hi, Bull Run!! How are you?"
Bull Run: "Well, I'm a little sad..."
HB Leasing Lady: Blah, blah, blah
Bull Run: "I'm sad because I have to tell you that I found another place..."
HB Leasing Lady: Blah, blah, blah
Bull Run: "But, this doesn't mean that you can't ever flirt with me again...let's met for a drink, you can be my new friend..."
HB Leasing Lady: Blah, blah, blah
This beats the shit out of the mall, grocery store, or any other place for day game. Give it a shot and holler back.
