The Connor Group

Sales Associates

Our sales associates make the biggest difference when potential residents or customers decide where to live. If you love working with people and are a high-achiever, then you’ll love working with us.

Expectations:

• Lease to potential new residents
• Renew leases with current residents
• Consistently meet or exceed sales objectives
• Deliver great customer service

At The Connor Group, we’ve developed a distinctively strong culture rooted in training, innovation, hard work and accountability.

People — and how they fit into our culture — always have been the key to our success. No person is irreplaceable, but every person is important.  Everyone holds the rope; those who pull hardest are rewarded handsomely. The Connor Group started with three partners. It has grown to 49. That group includes service technicians, administrative assistants and top executives alike. We’ve never had a glass ceiling, so our associates have a sky’s-the-limit attitude.

Our people pride themselves on constant evaluation and improvement, but certain concepts are non-negotiable — accountability, integrity and an uncompromising commitment to excellence. Those aren’t just catchphrases or words on a page. They are, more accurately, who we are.

The Connor Group has been honored by the Best Employers in Ohio program. It recently was named one of the Miami Valley’s Top Workplaces by the Dayton Daily News. The Dayton Business Journal has named it Dayton Business of the Year – and award the group has been a finalist for numerous times.

The Connor Group is a real estate investment firm that owns and operates apartment communities. In addition to our basic business, we’ve also been involved with a number of different causes throughout the years. But, frankly, for a long time we struggled to give our efforts a name.

Was what we were doing “philanthropy?” No, that’s too pretentious. “Charity?” Too condescending. A “trust?” Too hands-off. For a number of years we operated as a “foundation,” until we decided that was too generic.

We wanted to develop our own disciplined philosophy. Then we wanted to use that philosophy to find a select number of really good causes and help develop them into really great programs. How would we accomplish that? Certainly not just by writing checks, although that’s a big part of the equation. More importantly, we wanted to utilize the knowledge, skills and relationships we’ve developed in more than 25 years as a high-performance business.

In the end, we decided the best description for our approach was "non-profit activist investing." And we landed on the name ‘Connor Group Kids & Community Partners.’

The organizations with whom we partner serve our community in a number of ways – from employment programs for homeless teens, to after-school and summer programming for at-risk youth, to groundbreaking studies on how childhood poverty impacts resilience and what can be done about it.

Over the next 10 years, Kids & Community Partners strategically plans to invest $150 million in its non-profit endeavors. We’re also in the midst of creating two unique programs of our own that will benefit poverty-impacted students and young adults with special needs.
