      1st Answer Example

      "One day, when I was talking with a rental agency, they mentioned that they were seeing an increase in out-of-town inquiries. So, I organized an event to bring these prospective tenants together. I observed them very closely and identified what they had in common and who got along with each other. I also found out what they liked and disliked about the building. Essentially, I conducted a very cost-effective focus group and found out what kind of demographic our building appeals to the most. I used that experience to inform our marketing efforts going forward, and that helped reduce our vacancy rates and improved the quality of our tenants."
