You may have heard of a recent announcement in real estate news; Compass acquired real estate CRM provider Contactually. This acquisition is raising a lot of red flags with existing Contactually users who are worried about data privacy, the rate of Compass' technology development, and the potential conflicts of using a CRM owned by a rival company.

IXACT Contact Unveils New Social Stream Function to Help Agents Aggregate High-Value Content
The Twin Firepower of a World-Class CRM Meets High-Quality Content TORONTO, ON (DECEMBER 13, 2017) - IXACT Contact announced the unveiling of their new Social Stream service; an exclusive extension of their world-class Real Estate CRM designed to curate and publish helpful articles and videos found in top publications, all within the agents' brand to help generate real estate leads. With the announcement of Social Stream, IXACT Contact is addressing a common marketing barrier within the real estate industry. Curating high-value content from reputable publications is an incredibly time-consuming and expensive process – and even more so to do it consistently. Social Stream addresses this problem by sourcing fully vetted content, all customized to the real estate agents' preference. Social Stream is an add-on to IXACT Contact that completely automates the process of finding and streaming high quality content to your social media sites, enabling you to reap the benefits of a more active, engaging social media presence - without any work on the agents' part. With today's announcement, IXACT Contact is giving real estate agents the added ability to: Automate the process of finding and streaming high quality content to their social media sites. Fully customize what publications to pull content from, the frequency and what specific topics to source. Access Tier-1 gated publications with the subscription rights to this exclusive digital content from the world's most admired journalists. Control the branded experience where prospects are taken to a special web page created just for the agents' brand. Save the time it takes to source, vet and publish content along with the money it costs for hiring someone to manage this process. Social Stream can also capture leads directly into your IXACT Contact CRM database via an optional or mandatory lead capture form that can be activated on your very own branded landing page. Controlling The Branded Path to Conversion The glaring weakness in content curation is that the links typically go to the publication's website, along with its respective branding and sponsored advertising. Meaning a real estate agents' audience is clicking away from their information and might even be seeing advertisements promoting a competitor. Social Stream solves this problem. When prospects click on an article or video, they are taken to a special web page created specifically with the agents' branding. "Social Stream makes it easy for agents to curate high-quality content, and to customize it in a way that fits their branding and key messaging," says Rich Gaasenbeek, Co-Founder and EVP, IXACT Contact. "Agents can generate leads in the background and truly own the path to conversion in less time and at a price point they can't match." IXACT Contact is committed to developing the marketing firepower that allows real estate agents to focus on their core competencies while still generating leads and keeping a competitive edge in the market. About IXACT Contact IXACT Contact® is an easy-to-use web-based real estate CRM and marketing solution. IXACT Contact includes robust real estate contact management, powerful email and social media marketing, and mobile friendly REALTOR® websites. IXACT Contact helps real estate agents generate leads that convert into clients, keep in touch with past clients, hot prospects, and important referral sources, and stay organized and in control as their business grows.

Chime Unveils AI-Enabled Smart Dialer and Drone Technology to Keep Real Estate Agents Ahead of the Curve
Chime is also celebrating its first anniversary after a year of expansion and growth SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8, 2017 -- Chime Technologies, an operating system for the real estate industry, announced two new major innovations today along with its one-year anniversary. The launch of these game-changing features—an AI-enabled smart dialer and a fully autonomous drone—reflect Chime's journey to become a complete operating system that transforms the business of doing real estate by integrating innovative technology in new ways. Chime set out to create an operating system that contained everything real estate professionals needed to seamlessly run, and grow, their business. Through conversations with agents, brokers and coaches, Chime realized that one of their biggest challenges was dealing with too many, disparate, and unconnected solutions, which ended up creating more work rather than less. In August 2016, Chime launched an all-in-one real estate platform that offered real estate professionals a powerful lead generation and CRM solution, enabling them to launch marketing campaigns, track leads' activities, build customer relationships, and seamlessly manage teams, anytime, anywhere. Over the past year, Chime has continued to evolve and expand the platform to address the full spectrum of agents' needs. The company now has clients in all 50 states. "Chime has evolved as the needs of our customers have evolved," said Matt Murphy, Chief Marketing Officer of Chime. "We are bringing the industry to where it should be, while also giving it a run for its money. We always try to stay one step ahead and our clients love that we are constantly pushing to deliver cutting edge in real estate technology." The AI-enabled smart dialer, named Belle, isn't just a utility, but also serves as an intelligent companion that enables quick performance and limited downtime between calls. Agents simply select a list within Chime and push it to the dialer. They can then quickly dial prospects with just one click, add notes, do follow-ups, schedule appointments, and send texts or emails from within the tool. The AI overlay means the smart dialer is imbued with Smart Scoring that dynamically scores leads as well as Smart Lists which form in the dialer based off relevant and important actions that an agent needs to accomplish that day. As prospects interact and engage with the system—opening property alerts, reading emails—Belle adjusts the lead's scores and adapts scripts and follow-ups in real-time, based on quality and intent of the lead, to have the maximum impact. Chime is the first company to do this in the real estate space. "Belle combined with Chime is a killer product combination for teams and brokerages," said Murphy. "Our goal is to provide a productivity suite that empowers agents and brokers with all the tools they need to close more deals, and these features take smart dialers to the next level." Chime's second new feature provides drone technology that has the potential to superpower open houses and listings. Chime has the exclusive U.S. real estate distribution rights with Simtoo, the creator of the Moment drone for aerial photography. The Simtoo drone is tiny, with four small blades that are covered so it can fly indoors, and strong battery life, which allows it to fly for over 10 minutes. The drone travels autonomously and comes equipped with facial recognition technology, so agents don't have to worry about navigating it through properties. Chime has developed a powerful software layer for the Simtoo Moment drone, enabling agents to give virtual tours of homes, and focus on providing the best experience possible for people over the Internet. The drone footage live streams directly to a Facebook page or listing-specific site, so interested buyers can watch from anywhere. "Livestreaming is a fundamental innovation that will transform real estate," Murphy said. "By launching this drone feature, Chime is at the forefront of this transformation." While they are a critical part of the real estate process, open houses can be inconvenient. They are displacing for sellers, who have to leave their homes, keep them pristine over time, and put away valuables. They can also be a nuisance for buyers, who may be short on time or live out of the area. With a virtual open house, none of that needs to happen. Agents can spend an hour doing a virtual tour and then share that footage with interested buyers. Chime's drone feature saves time and money for agents, sellers and buyers alike. "Real estate teams such as the Boyenga Team, Climb Real Estate Group, EXIT Realty and Tru Realty are switching to us because we have proven our innovation cycle—how fast we can push code, how far and how quickly we've evolved in such a short period of time," adds Murphy. About Chime Chime is an operating system for the real estate industry. Its award-winning productivity suite offers a robust set of features that help real estate professionals and teams of all sizes run and grow their business. Chime operates as a US subsidiary of Renren, Inc. (RENN). For more information, contact [email protected] or 888-342-9698, or visit www.chime.me.

The Moxi Cloud Adds Offrs to Its Ever-Growing Open Platform
Offrs joins the cloud platform with their high-quality seller leads July 5, 2017 – Seattle, WA – Moxi Works adds Offrs, a seller leads service, to their open platform, the Moxi Cloud. At Offrs, they identify over 70% of the homes that will sell in the coming year using predictive analytics. Now integrated with the Moxi Cloud, seller leads are automatically placed into the Moxi Engage CRM and are noted that they are sourced from Offrs. Mike McHenry, VP of Channels and Partnerships said, "Together with Offrs, Moxi Works delivers agents new listing opportunities every month. Quality seller leads are discovered and nurtured by our lead generation partner Offrs, then seamlessly integrated with Moxi Engage, providing agents highly valued listing referrals coupled with an automated follow-up process. The team at Offrs have been awesome to work with as we integrated our solutions." Offrs delivers quality leads by conducting an in-depth analysis of the data that then predicts when people will sell. This data is presented to the agent via their "Territory." Each agent chooses a Territory which includes details on every property or property owner, including mailing address, email, phone number, and a predictive seller score that is updated each month based on thousands of various data points. Agents can get their own territories by choosing a zip code. They receive a monthly report that pertains to their territory, showing the likely sellers in said zip code. Rich Swier, Co-Founder at Offrs said, "Our partnership with Moxi will bring best-of-breed lead generation and nurturing to agents and brokers. We are excited to continue our mission of bringing more value to the real estate community." McHenry added, "The reality is, 75% of homeowners choose the first agent who contacts them to list their home. Getting to sellers first is a major advantage to agents using Offrs." Offrs markets to the predicted sellers via email, on-line targeting, direct mail, and call targeting to generate a lead. The leads are then contacted and qualified before being given to the agent in the Moxi Works open platform, the Moxi Cloud. About Moxi WorksMoxi Works is a residential brokerage services company that makes agents significantly more productive and brokerages more profitable by helping them effectively run their businesses. Moxi Works' integrated tools are centered on a sphere-based selling process that drastically increases agents' repeat and referral business, while lowering overall technology, training and support costs for the brokerage.

Moxi Works Launches New Product, Granting Agents Client Insights
April 24, 2017 – Seattle, WA – Real estate technology company, Moxi Works, recently launched a new product called Secret Agent. This new product allows agents to instantly receive public data on their clients, giving them a leg up in sphere marketing. Secret Agent, currently in Beta, gives quick client insights to agents through their Moxi Engage CRM. General demographics, housing info, lifestyle choices, financials, and more can all be learned about clients through the Secret Agent product. "Secret Agent is a feature that not only adds to the overarching Engage CRM experience, but it's also one that has the potential to revolutionize sphere marketing as we know it. Let's face it, the core of an agent's business is built upon a strong client base, but it's impossible to personally keep up with every single one. Secret Agent now does it for them. By reminding an agent to reach out to clients when their kids are heading off to college or letting them know the investment opportunities their clients care about, it frees up even more time for agents and keeps them on track," said York Baur, CEO of Moxi Works. Depending on the public data available, the insights given from Secret Agent might even include information on hobbies, or where clients and prospects donate and invest their money. Agents can potentially see if they have pets, certain cars, or if they're a value shopper. Secret Agent also allows agents to filter their client lists based off of their likelihood to sell. For instance, if there are teenagers in the house, Secret Agent will notify the agent that this family might be interested in downsizing soon. This is all based off aggregated public data. It helps agents quickly understand who they should be targeting in their sphere today, with badges next to the clients that are gearing up for a major life change. Like all Moxi Works products, Secret Agent is mobile optimized through their Moxi Engage CRM and can be accessed on any handheld device, laptop, or tablet. Find out more about Secret Agent, other products, and Moxi Work's open platform known as the Moxi Cloud, at moxiworks.com. About Moxi Works Moxi Works is a residential brokerage services company that makes agents significantly more productive and brokerages more profitable by helping them effectively run their businesses.

Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Electrifies Its Competitive Strategy with the Zap Technology Platform
MADISON, N.J. 04-04-2017 — Informed consumers have fundamentally transformed the real estate industry. Access to data has armed real estate professionals with a way to stay ahead of new pressures– if they can effectively harness the benefits. Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate (BHGRE), a Realogy (NYSE: RLGY) brand, today announced that its technology strategy is now powered by Realogy's proprietary Zap® platform, a web, mobile and CRM solution for the brand, brokers and affiliated agents that is launching BHGRE into a new arena of technology competitiveness. With this launch, the brand's website, bhgre.com, is interconnected with its affiliated brokers' and agents' sites on a single platform designed to provide an exceptional service experience to consumers and an insights-driven business approach to brokers and agents. The evolution of real estate necessitates brokers and agents master technology and mobile tools to stay ahead. Consumers expect heightened, sophisticated service from agents to complement their own unprecedented access to information. Agents and brokers are required to compete not only in sales, but in social media, technology and data-driven marketing. "Real estate 1.0 was a broker-driven world, 2.0 was the age of the agent-driven real estate and 3.0 was the dawn of the informed consumer," said Sherry Chris, President and CEO of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC. "Today, we are in real estate 4.0, where consumer data informs everything we do. Launching the Zap platform as the core of our technology strategy enables us to benefit from the innovation of the Realogy platform and build a unique and complementary offering around it. As a lifestyle brand focused on the consumer, we look to the Zap platform as the future of informed, proactive service." "Zap plays a critical role in the relationship between today's consumers and our affiliated agents," said Craig McClelland, Chief Operating Officer of BHGRE Metro Brokers, a leading brokerage firm in Atlanta, Georgia, with more than 2,100 agents and 26 offices. "We were an early adopter of the Zap platform because it provides a measurable competitive edge to our affiliated agents by equipping action-specific intelligence. By integrating Zap into the DNA of our company, our affiliated agents are better equipped to elevate their conversations with clients and make timely, personalized service decisions. Zapscontinued innovation is quickly evolving the Zap platform into a sophisticated lead delivery and incubation system, solving important real estate business challenges including mobile competitiveness and maximizing online leads." Disrupting the Disruptors The Zap platform empowers agents and brokers to transform the way they do business in the online and offline worlds, as well as the ability to use data-based intelligence to enhance service delivery to clients. This is critical in an industry where informed consumers are expecting more personalized service and technology innovation is moving at exponential speed, forcing brokers and agents to keep pace to win. The platform generates IDX-powered websites which feature modules that allow individual brokers and agents to tailor their personal sites to their unique business approaches and local markets. These modules include social media integrations, ratings and reviews, profile information, media sharing, and featured listings. In addition, local insights allow an agent to share their knowledge about the market areas they serve, including points of interest, schools, entertainment, dining and other topics to market themselves with lifestyle expertise. BHGRE-affiliated agents can also provide insights on any properties in their local market. This allows an agent to influence the dialog about a home beyond what is in the listing description. Together, the insight features empower real estate professionals to market themselves with their lifestyle and real estate expertise. These modules and other relevant functionalities combine to create a dynamic, interactive user experience and increase the brokers' and agents' organic search presence. Proactive, Personalized Service The Zap platform connects clients and agents in a way other websites can't – through predictive consumer insights from the platform's proprietary ZapScoreSM feature. The ZapScore rating helps affiliated agents prioritize online leads through consumer behavior: search behavior, saved properties, showing requests, and follow-up campaign interaction impact their score, focusing agents on a service strategy tailored to a consumer's readiness and behavior. Today, CRM is the center of the agent's world. Zap's CRM allows the agent to manage relationships with past, present and future clients as well as track and action against those profiles to cultivate opportunities. The platform provides scripts for phone calls as well as online follow-up plans with accompanying email communications. This allows agents to plant seeds of business development for the future as well as to nurture relationships today. With the Zap platform, affiliated BHGRE agents can track online behavior to better anticipate consumers' needs. This allows the agent to bridge the service gap between the online and offline world. It also provides personalized insights into their clients' needs which allows agents to be more proactive and sophisticated in their service. Forget "Mobile vs. Desktop" Today's consumers don't separate the world between mobile and desktop. Consumers and agents are device agnostic – they expect their various apps, accounts, and correlating data to sync seamlessly between all technology experiences. The Zap platform is designed to reflect the evolving lifestyles and behaviors of both agents and consumers. The BHGRE Consumer App offers consumers the full range of tools they have come to expect for real estate search, including geolocation-assisted search, interactive maps, and saved search functionalities – all synced to accounts between devices. Likewise, the BHGRE Agent CRM App provides agents the ability to manage their business on the go – addressing new leads, responding to inquiries, observing consumer behavior, and identifying opportunities via the ZapScore. The Zap platform mobile experience is made truly unique by agents' and consumers' ability to communicate with consistency and ease through its agent and consumer mobile applications. With mobile applications, affiliated agents and clients can provide each other with property search suggestions, schedule showings and appointments, push relevant notifications, and directly message – all on the go, any time. With the introduction of the Zap platform and all its consumer and agent-driven desktop and mobile applications, the informed consumer and the informed agent are no longer separated by the barriers of technology, schedules, or distance.

Industry Leader DocuSign Joins the Moxi Works Open Platform
The Moxi Works open platform has just become even bigger with our DocuSign partnership! This partnership allows our CRM to provide a fully digital transaction management program for our agents to manage their workflow with clients. "Partnering with the team at Moxi Works to deliver a streamlined experience for agents ties into our DocuSign 'Lead to Close' strategy. By seamlessly integrating the tools agents use every day, we help them remain at the center of the transaction to deliver great service to their clients while eliminating manual data entry, paperwork and associated cost and delays," says Georg Gerstenfeld, General Manager of Global Real Estate Solutions at DocuSign. When it's time for a transaction, Moxi Engage CRM creates a digital transaction room for the agent with all of the client and property info auto-populated. The digital transaction room enables the creation, editing, and sending of documents to anyone and everyone involved in the transaction. This means clients, loan officers, escrow, etc. can all interact within the same space. Now agents can also see the status of where each participant is in the buying and/or selling process, allowing for proper transaction management and maintenance to take place when needed. York Baur, CEO of Moxi Works says, "Our open platform and our partnership enables us to achieve the first truly end-to-end digital transaction. Many have tried, but until now there wasn't a feasible player in the game. Teaming up with Glenn Shimkus, VP of Product at DocuSign has been huge; his idea of making DocuSign an open platform has matched ours and that's what allowed us to achieve this vision of an end-to-end digital transaction between both of our platforms." For those that may not be familiar, an open platform means having published, secure, API's for all of the important functions and data that allow applications to work together. It may sound confusing, but the definition doesn't matter. What matters is that this allows brokerages to remove stone age tools and plug in best-in-class applications and tools that agents need today. An Open Platform delivers incomparable productivity to help better business and life. Make your agents and clients happy with an open platform and the new DocuSign integration!

IXACT Contact Real Estate CRM Announces Enhanced Social Media Integration
  IXACT Contact announced today the addition of Social Intelligence to the real estate CRM. This new feature enables real estate professionals further understand their leads and contacts by gathering information from contacts' various public social media profiles. Social Intelligence searches over 100 publicly available sources to locate contacts' data, helping keep the agent's CRM data fresh and accurate. Social Intelligence will also capture and display each contact's photo directly in the contact profile page, and when there is more than one photo for a contact, the agent can choose which one to display. IXACT Contact has a long history of encouraging real estate agents to build meaningful relationships with leads and past clients by noting important details in the Contact Profile. With Social Intelligence, real estate agents have the benefit of viewing contacts' interests, employment history, age, and social media bio's, all from within the CRM at the click of a button. This added level of insight provides agents with context and knowledge that will lead to more meaningful interactions with real estate leads and past clients. "The addition of Social Intelligence provides real estate agents with further insight into their leads and past clients, "says Rich Gaasenbeek, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, "it's a powerful feature included in IXACT Contact's solution to help agents build stronger relationships that lead to more business." According to Global Web Index, there are over 2.307 billion active social media users online. The information shared publicly by these real estate prospects can now be drawn directly into IXACT Contact's real estate CRM. Existing customers of IXACT Contact already have access to Social Intelligence. Real estate agents who would like to try IXACT Contact and the new social media integration can start a free 5 week trial.

Contactually Announces a New Partnership with First.io
We're very excited to announce the launch of our partnership with First.io, a great step forward for Contactually as a whole in intelligence and real estate agent productivity. This partnership will generate a new Contactually product, powered by First, that will give real estate agents unseen, proactive knowledge about their network and will automatically provide recommendations to users when a contact is likely to list their home in the next six months. A brand new way to use Contactually The new partnership with First – a platform that uses Artificial Intelligence to pinpoint when homeowners are most likely to move – will help real estate agents better respond to and manage clients needs. "Our platform allows users to stay top-of-mind with their entire networks, resulting in more leads and referrals," says Contactually co-Founder and CEO Zvi Band. "Agents want to ensure they are always building relationships with the right people, so being able to predict who is more likely to move is something we've always wanted to offer. With our powerful yet easy to use platform, users can automatically begin communicating with these contacts as soon as their moving intentions are predicted, keeping them many steps ahead of their competitors." This is the first of many initiatives involving artificial intelligence and machine learning that will further add value to our customers moving forward in 2017 and beyond. This new product we're rolling out with First will regularly assess a real estate agent's contacts in Contactually using a market-leading AI and machine learning platform, and then predict when a client is most likely to move. The business or agent will be automatically notified, enabling rapid and personalized communications to best meet the client's needs. Bringing machine learning to the real estate industry The real estate sector is a crowded one, with more than two million licensed real estate agents in the United States. In 2015, just over five million homes were sold, meaning that – on average – real estate agents were only able to sell three houses that year. This partnership will help users get ahead of competitors by keeping them ahead of their rivals. "This is important because it helps agents to not lose opportunities within their network," Band continues. "They lose opportunities because they are generally not in regular touch with their networks. This platform enables them to be made aware of opportunities, and respond proactively." Mike Schneider, the CEO of First, adds, "First and Contactually both believe real estate runs on relationships. It's incredibly rare to find companies on the same mission with complementary products. We couldn't be more excited to pair the best mover intelligence with the best relationally-focused CRM to help agents win more listings."

Placester Acquires RealSatisfied to Increase Business Intelligence for Brokers
BOSTON, MA--(April 19, 2016) - Placester, an all ­in ­one CRM platform featuring integrated digital marketing and sales tools that fundamentally change how real estate works, today announced its acquisition of RealSatisfied, a suite of customer satisfaction tools that provides big data insights to brokers, agents and brands.

Wise Agent Rolls Out Three New Updates: Logins, Leads, and Attachments
Wise Agent makes updates to the system almost daily; some are completely new features, while others are just small changes or additions. We like to keep our valued members in the loop about these updates, so here are three small enhancements that we have made recently! You can now login using Facebook or Google+ We know you have a ton of passwords to remember – we all do. Wise Agent has made that a little easier with this new feature. As long as you are also logged into Facebook or G+, you can now hit the Login button and be directly logged in without entering your Wise Agent username and password! To set this up, just follow these steps: Login to your Wise Agent as usual Click Welcome in the top right corner, then Profile Under the "name" fields of the Primary User, you will see two buttons – one that says "Authorize Google+ Login" and another that says "Authorize Facebook Login" Click the one you would like to use, follow the prompts, and that's it! Lead disbursement by day of the week We have received a ton of feedback after the recent release of the Lead Management Systems. So many of you have already taken advantage of the email parsing as well as customized the way you assign leads to your team members. One request we received was to add the ability to assign leads by day of the week. Using the "Rules for Leads" section, you can allocate Mondays leads to one team member, Tuesdays to another, and so on, however you would like it to work for your business. This option is located under Contacts > Leads, in the Rules for Leads section. Save attachments to a contact or checklist via Gmail Conversations Here's another example of a time we have added to a newer feature based on user suggestions. Being able to read and save your incoming emails right within your Wise Agent Contact Summary has been a huge hit! If you haven't already, you should check it out – you can read more about it here. The initial release allowed you to view all emails (in Gmail) from that contact, and save an email or an entire conversation to the Contact Notes for that client. Several members requested to have the option to also save those emails to the Transaction Notes if the email was pertaining to a specific Transaction Checklist, and that is now live! So, ask and you may receive! We love to get your feedback, and we really do keep track of every suggestion you send! Watch for future updates, and contact us 24/7 with any questions!

Zapelo Launches at Real Estate Connect
San Francisco, CA – August 3, 2015 – America's one-million-plus real estate brokers and agents use separate technology systems for email, CRM, lead generation, calendar scheduling and task tracking, document storage, electronic signatures, transaction management, and drip marketing. Zapelo is looking to disrupt real estate technology's silo approach with the industry's first cloud-based, wholly integrated and end-to-end mobile real estate management system. "Zapelo is like taking the right pieces from Gmail, Dropbox, MailChimp, dotloop, REESIO and Top Producer, putting them together and making it affordable for any brokerage," says Jack Berube, CEO of Zapelo. Zapelo is a simple-to-use, fully integrated, mobile real estate management system that offers a CRM, lead generation, transaction management, email, calendar and task tracking, workflow checklists, integrated electronic signatures and shareable document storage – all on the cloud. "It's the first system that truly manages the real estate sales funnel from top-to-bottom," Berube says. "Everyone is paying for technology no one is really using. For the technology you actually use, most brokerages will subscribe to multiple products, log in and out of various systems, and re-enter the same damn data again and again. It's nuts," Berube adds. Zapelo launches tomorrow at Inman Real Estate Connect in San Francisco, and is featured as part of the conference's coveted Startup Alley. Real Estate Connect, the real estate industry's preeminent gathering of the leaders in real estate and technology industries, has launched some of the real estate technology industry's biggest brands. Rhonda Duffy (duffyrealtyofatlanta.com), who is ranked as the number one listing agent in the U.S. and the number one agent in Georgia, calls Zapelo, "The Swiss-Army knife" of real estate technology. "Vendors keep pushing single apps or bloated software with features that agents will never use," Duffy said. "Zapelo has created a 'right-sized' technology to include only the features a broker or team needs to manage their real estate pipeline." "Zapelo has made the complex simple and affordable, which is exactly what agents must have," Duffy adds. "Agents don't have time to sit in a training class to learn every new product and most agents can't afford to pay $30 to $100 a month for a dozen different services. Zapelo solves both of these problems." Zapelo integrated product features: Email system: Full-featured email system leverages your email address (IMAP) throughout all these features and connects email to tasks, schedules, documents, and more. CRM tool: Agents can quickly add prospects and clients to a new marketing campaign; everything is synchronized, time stamped and trackable. Transaction management: A fully collaborative system that allows agents to interact with their clients – no exporting or importing, everything is all on the cloud in this single environment. Lead generation: Leads generated from any source can be automatically imported into the platform. Drip marketing: Fast, easy to use templates to stay-in-touch with prospects and past clients. Calendar and task tracking: Everything agents needs for scheduling their daily routine and track tasks throughout the transaction process to help agents keep on top of their pipeline. Electronic signatures: Fully integrated into the platform and ultra secure, works just like the most popular eSignature systems but is completely integrated, storing everything in one place (for brokerages, Zapelo is designed to work in concert with their current solution in most cases). Document storage and sharing: Features a secure and easy way to securely share documents so your customers don't need to open a third-party account to access their files. "White label" for brokerages: The platform is designed to promote the brokerage's brand, not Zapelo's brand, with a 24-hour "White label" offering to customize the platform to the look and feel of the brokerage's brand. "White label" customized branding includes color scheme, corporate logo, and customized task lists.   Today the Beta version of Zapelo is available to real estate brokerages, teams and agents. Brokerages pay a one-time setup fee, which includes their "White label" customized branding, for $500 and $199 a month. Individual agent accounts are $49 per month, and volume discounts are available for brokerages.

Contactually Announces Activity Insights – Easy Reporting, Now With More Power
Discover not only how you're performing, but why. Last month, we released the first incarnation of Contactually's Insights feature, which gives you an instant look at the network health and overall Contactually performance of yourself, and everyone on your team. People — especially those team users — really seem to like it, but almost immediately we heard the desire for more. More detail, more measurement, more... well, more insights. Fortunately, we were expecting this (who doesn't want more insight?), and we've been working on the next generation of Insights pretty much since the last one saw the light of day. Here's a rundown on the latest additions to Contactually's reporting engine, which should be live and available in your account as you read this. "Activity" measures what your team is doing. Let's start with Activity. Ever wonder how you or your team is actually interacting with people? The Activity report shows you exactly that, by breaking down interaction by channel — how many emails, how many meetings, how many phone calls, and how many clandestine meetings in a dimly-lit basement parking garage. Okay, I made one of those up. At any rate, to get the exact breakdown for any team member, simply hover over their corresponding bar. "Reach" measures the scale of your communication. Sometimes you just want to see raw impact — how many contacts is your team connecting with, and who's pulling the most weight when it comes to pure outreach? Well, that's what the Reach report reveals. "Responses" show you the effectiveness of your outreach efforts. As many users know, Contactually includes open, click, and response tracking for certain emails, so you can see which messages are being read, and which ones are directly leading to the results you're looking for. If you're a regular user of this feature (or you work with people who are), the Responses report is a great way to see the results of that tracking at a glance. Insights gives you individual reporting, too. While Insights is a great way to quickly compare a group of Contactually users, it also supports individual reporting — that's great if you're a single user, or if you want to drill down into the history of a given team member. Simply click on any person in a report, and you'll be taken to their individual report screen. As you can see here, our very own Brandt Witt is clearly hard at work consistently reaching out to his network. Contactually Insights makes analysis fast, and even more powerful than before. With this new collection of reports (and I hesitate to even call them that since people often associate "reporting" with frustration and endless configuration headaches), Insights is a now an even better way to quickly assess the state of your, your network, and your team. You can even sort by different date ranges, or export any of the reports to a .CSV file you can slice and dice to your heart's content. Want to learn something about your Contactually usage? Just click the Insights link, and start digging around for yourself. You can get right to the good stuff — with Insights, you don't have to set anything up, create ranges, or figure out variables. After you've given it a spin, let us know what kind of insight you'd like to get next from Contactually. To view the original post, visit the Contactually blog.
