What a decision is was too! My partner and I felt that moving to top producer 7i was the solution for our team. We currently have a full time licensed assistant; two part time licensed agents; and another agent/marketing person in real estate school.
Keeping the information centralized is what was finally the tipping point for us. I read tons of stuff on the internet; talked to top producer sales people; talked to other agents; and still remained confused and skeptical. I had subscribed to TP7i in early 2003 and boy was it slow and unuser friendly. While the speed has dramatically increased and it is a little more user friendly...I think it will be the solution to pull together the information for our business real time.
The final decision to purchase was because of Gary David Hall taking the time to discuss our needs and goals and how we wanted the system to work. He offered alternatives, but in the end TP7i probably meets our needs the best as we are in remote locations.
I am actually most excited about Gary David Hall's Transplans http://garydavidhall.com/planslanding.htm and the ability to use them with TP7i!
We are in our 30 day period and I have to say the customer service is good. The only problems is converting the data...we didn't expect a miracle. My data is pretty much a poor transfer as I was using outlook with some different add-ins....so that will just have to be corrected over time as I reach out to each contact. My partner (we are almost three weeks into it) still doesn't have his data converted from TP6 yet after many failed uploading attempts (they claim to have had the data for several days now).
This can be a powerful medium for us all suggesting changes and I know people from TP monitor internet "chat". We can also go on line and suggest changes - the more people who ask...the more they will pay attention.
I look forward to being part of this group...sharing and learning. Thanks!
