estateCRM will help agencies looking to improve their cash flow...

18 Mar 2009 14:13:30 +0000

Its a tough time in the market and there's little sign of an imminent upturn. One way to improve cash flow being more and more utilised is to take on self employed negotiators. No more basic salary, car, office space, IT equipment and other expenses. The negotiator already has a computer at home, space at home to work and this model allows agencies to have negotiators spread around the area which can be better for viewings and valuations.

The problem of course is communication. How do the remote agents see and show the properties to clients, view their diaries, check the shared contacts? How do you see their diaries? The old office based CRM systems dont help at all and are fast being replaced by website based systems. The problem is that websites are slow. Really slow. Click on something on a website and the whole page has to refresh. Even modern technologies cant speed the website up anywhere near enough to be able to compete with the regular type of software that runs on your computer/laptop. And what happens if the internet is down or running slow? The office is effectively down if you have a web based system. How do you show clients or applicants properties you are marketing on a laptop at their address without wifi?

The answer is estateCRM. A fast responsive software application that works anywhere and runs on your PCs and laptops. The data is available anywhere you are and synchronises with all your other agents' data whenever an internet connection is available. Automatically! If the internet is down it's not a problem. EstateCRM is still available to use offline so you can take all your properties and matches to the client even if they dont have wifi. Impress them with your technology and get the instruction. Edit the data and they'll synch with other agents data when you have an internet connection again.

And because we dont need to send out staff to install the software (it can be downloaded over the internet), because there's no need for a network or office server, upgrades are instant, backups are not required at the office: it means that estateCRM is delivered at low cost compared with the other solutions available. EstateCRM improves cashflow and allows your negotiators to be more efficient, making more sales and securing more instructions.
