Today, Brad's guest on the Property Management Mastermind Show is Tim Liversage, the co-owner of Stray Cat Digital, a digital marketing company. Listen as they discuss website accessibility issues and compliance issues which are the buzz topics right now. Brad feels it's very important for the property management managers to understand this, to make sure they are being implemented into their marketing and websites because the vultures are circling.
Brad and Tim discuss how attorneys are finding non-compliant websites and slapping a demand letter on you for thousands of dollars. Tim speaks about an audit program he has developed that will audit your website and tell you what needs to be updated and give you a starting point to get compliant.
Listen as Tim gives examples of large companies and celebrities that have been sued because their websites were not compliant. Tim shares that the people affected by these non-compliant websites are the blind or people who can't hold a mouse, just to name a few of the disabilities that are hindered by these websites.
Did you know that 90% of web browsing is now done on cell phones? Tim shares some statistics and gives a range of where pricing can start depending on what you need to do on your website to bring your compliance current. The bottom line is, check your website and make sure it is compliant before the vulture attorneys come after you for non-compliance.

Brad's guests today are four of the best minds in the industry, and they are discussing the small group roundtable that they have put together. These are the four initial facilitators that we brought in to work with the small groups. Visit www.managersroundtable.com to find the introductory pricing.
The service is basically a crowdsource type of compilation on education, with eight in each small group. These groups will meet twice a month for six months, the sessions are structured and laid out by the facilitators, and they will all be recorded so that if you miss one, you will be able to catch up.
The four facilitators are Deb Newell, Paul Kankowski, Sarah Durbin, and Scott Brady. Listen as these four share what to expect at the small group roundtables, what they are each bringing, and the benefit they feel you will receive, making the cost insignificant.
These roundtables will be small virtual intimate gatherings that will allow you to get inside knowledge from some of the best in the industry. You can't get this one-on-one education at a conference; you are getting it from your home. Sign up now while they are still offering the introductory pricing, and learning from this brain-trust, it will be like nothing you have ever been a part of.
