5 Common Mistakes in PropTech Sales—and How to Avoid Them

Selling proptech solutions to multifamily operators is challenging. Long sales cycles, skeptical prospects, and a crowded market often leave vendors struggling to close deals. While these challenges are common, they’re not insurmountable. Avoiding key mistakes can significantly improve your chances of success.

Mistakes and Solutions

  • Mistake #1: Overloading Prospects with Data
    Vendors often present too much information, overwhelming operators rather than persuading them.
    Solution: Use concise, actionable insights from PropTech IQ’s impact reports to focus on what matters most—ROI and operational benefits.
  • Mistake #2: Skipping ROI Discussions
    Vendors need to emphasize ROI upfront, leaving operators unsure of the financial benefits.
    Solution: PropTech IQ’s impact analysis reports provide clear ROI projections, making it easier to communicate value and build trust.
  • Mistake #3: Neglecting Trust-Building
    With third-party validation, operators may be able to understand vendor claims.
    Solution: Leverage PropTech IQ’s independent reports to enhance credibility and address skepticism
  • Mistake #4: Ignoring Decision Timelines
    Vendors often fail to align their pitches with operators’ budget cycles or planning schedules.
    Solution: Understand your prospects’ timelines and tailor your approach accordingly.
  • Mistake #5: Relying Solely on Pilots
    Pilots are expensive and time-consuming, often delaying decisions.
    Solution: Replace pilots with PropTech IQ’s impact reports to accelerate the sales process.
