Ask before you pitch

- Name it backLate dues / messy docs / endless email chains. Mirror their words.
- Bridge“Here’s how boards like yours collect dues and vote online without the enterprise price…” → open portal.
If it’s cost“Totally get it — Buildium-style stacks add setup fees and add-ons. Ours is $5/user/month, everything included.”
If it’s time“Volunteer boards shouldn’t spend 15 hours a month chasing payments. Owners pay online; you see balances live.”
What to say
Read these out loud. Keep it short.
Open (10s)“Hi, I’m [Name] with HOA By Owners. We help self-managed boards run dues, voting, and maintenance without a management-company bill. Got two minutes?”
Value (30s)“Owners pay online. You track violations and maintenance. Electronic voting is included. We move your data over free — usually live in about two days.”
Price (10s)“$5 per user per month. No setup fee. No long contract. Month to month.”
Close“I can start your free trial now — you’ll have access today.” Then create the signup link.
“I need to ask the board”
“Perfect — let’s start the trial so you can show them tonight. Cancel anytime if they pass.”
“We’re stuck in a contract”
“Migration is free when you’re ready. Start the trial so the switch is planned, not rushed.”
“Too expensive”
“Compare year-one totals with Buildium or AppFolio — most boards save thousands with everything included.”
Don’t ask “Want this?” Assume yes. Pull out your phone and start the form.
