In this episode, April and I interview Dr. Doug Hallenbeck, Senior Associate VP of Student Affairs at Clemson University. We discuss what it is that off-campus housing providers need to consider when building relationship with universities. Plus, I get on my soap box about how off-campus communities miss the mark when it comes to their approach with relationship marketing to university administration.

This episode discusses the #1 question I get as a consultant... WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET?!?!?! Seriously, it is the question I get asked the most and it is followed by a list of interrogatories about how much speed is needed, how long should the contract be, and how do you handle wi-fi. So I brought in a consultant to the industry on this specific topic. Jerry Presley from Extensive Networks out of Colorado. In that episode we really break down these questions and give you some of the terminology you need to be familiar with before having a conversation with a service provider.
Speaker Information
Name: Jerry Presley
Title: Manager
How long with the company and long with related career experience: I founded a wireless Internet company in 1998 using licensed microwave frequencies, that was sold to Sprint. Extensive Networks was formed in 2000 to provide Internet services to Student Housing properties.
