If you’ve retained your pitch or demo, you go in knowing what you want to say about your company or product and you are free to be more present in the moment. Every single interaction with or for a prospect, from research and introductions to discovery and close, has the potential to impact the outcome of a deal. Kiva will take you on a journey from the first touch to executed contract, introducing the concept of choreography at every step.

There are now about 50 million rental homes in the U.S. with 100 million tenants. And this does not even include commercial spaces. The gatekeepers of this huge market are property managers, notoriously busy people who often manage dozens of properties, all with different needs and requirements.

This post explains when and why you should have a 409A.
