Keeping It Super Simple (K.I.S.S.)

Why should you use PBID Manager Improvement District Software? To simplify your life!

I want to help you with something.  Data should not be complicated.  Property data, contact data, any data.  The more you can simplify this process of managing data, the more time you can spend on other things that are vital for your district.

As an Executive Director or a Staffer you are busy.  You really don’t have a lot of time to spend trying to learn how to use complicated CRM’s.  I totally get it.  This is why, as I continue to speak with Improvement Districts around the country, I realize there is a  real need for the PBID Manager .  Why? Because of it’s simplicity.

PBID Manager was designed specifically for Improvement Districts.  It was made to ensure that data was accessible and  was simple to use.   Because “Keeping it simple” was the overriding theme,  PBID manager is really  plug and play.  That was the goal.  How can you get as much information about a property or business without making it look like your screen is exploding with crazy amounts of data?  

If you are not using PBID Manager, which is Improvement District Software, trying to manage data on a spreadsheet or a program can be a nightmare!

Most Improvement Districts have quite a lot of data to manage.  Here is the short list of data your district may be currently managing:

  • Parcel/Property or Business Assessment Information. Any data pertaining the dollar amounts, square footage, etc.
  • Parcel/Property or Business Address or Lot Identification Number.  Information that the city or county uses to identify who to assess.
  • Owner Contact Information. Name, Phone, Email, Mailing Address or owners or property representatives
  • Businesses on each Parcel/Property. For example:  one strip mall with 6-10 Business) plus all their contact information (Name, Phone, Email, Mailing Address.
  • Other Organizations that partner with the district. Think Vendors, Gov’t Agencies, Donors, District Partners etc.

Why use Improvement District Software?

With most CRM’s their main focus is on the “people”  contact information.  Many people will come and go from your organization as well as  from your district. The data about the properties and businesses will essentially stay the same.Without some fancy footwork for most CRM’s,  it can get complicated having  to go back and associate “people” information to a particular property or business.

PBID Manager always starts with the core data first,  which is “Property and Business Information”, then works out to the “People” information.  This is really one of the biggest differentiators.  It makes is easier to put data into an easy to read format when the core data is correct.

We all have some amount of complications in our lives.   Having to work with a complicated spreadsheet or CRM should not be one of those things.   Don’t take my word for it. I challenge to call some of our happy customers.  You will be glad that you did!
