what if they occasionally can't take the job? it's unusual to be able to have someone do a job without them coordinating with their existing schedule and clients what if your professional isn't consistently reliable? for outside vendors, on time arrival is approximately 75%, meaning the majority encounter problems what happens if there is a last minute cancellation? what if your professional doesn't always deliver the job to the quality you expect? whether it's intentional or not, how frequently do they complete the job perfectly without the need for further inspection or guidance? how can your professionals adapt to your unique workflows? most people have a range of workflows to manage tasks with professionals, from granting access to handling issues to establishing how billing and invoicing should be handled everyone has distinct requirements how do you make smart insights, when you lack the tools to know what your property’s current state and history is?
