New Contact Management Program Available

I received an email the other day, one of the thousands of emails that I get from random companies marketing their Real Estate Services. I'm sure you get them too. There was one that actually caught my eye and instead of deleting said marketing email, I opened it and I'm glad I did.

Like so many of us, I signed up with Top Producer as a Contact Management Program. I really NEEDED a contact management program. I tried ACT and WiseAgent, and they just weren't what I was looking for, so TP wrangled me in and low and behold I'm in a one year contract for $35ish dollars a month. Well after a month or so of playing with TP I realized that it's not really what I wanted - it's not easy to navigate and they get you with that one year contract. My contract with TP is up next month, so I have been in the market for a new Contact Management system and I think I've found it. The email that I received this weekend was for MoreSolds.com. They are a brand new Contact Management site. Here is what MoreSolds.com has to offer:

You can try the basic site Free until March 3, 2008 which comes with:

Up to 100 contacts
Web-based contact management - access your contacts anywhere you have computer access
Set up a buyer profile
Set up listings

If you like the site, you can sign up for the premium package for $9.95 which allows you to have:

unlimited contacts
Import/Export feature
Up to 10 ADDITIONAL USERS (add collegues, assistants, etc.)

Also in 2008, the site will be adding the following FREE features:

Print Lables
Activity Plans
Calendar

For an additional $9.95 (for each item listed) you can get:

A program that requests showing feedback
Email Campaigns
Newsletters

SOooo, you only pay for the services that you need. And the best part is, there is no contract. The services are billed to you on a monthly basis! If you're not happy with TP and you are looking for a change OR if you are a new agent and are looking for a Contact Management System that will grow with you, give MoreSolds.com a try. They are letting you try the basic package for free until March 3, 2008.

Finally, let me close by saying that I am not affiliated with MoreSolds.com in any way. I'm just a Realtor® who found a great product and wanted to share it.

I will check it out, I am with Top Producer only for the action plans, I'm amazed that there aren't more choices condsidering how big our industry is and how much money there is in it.

Keep me posted

This is interesting, I use Agent office now and even though I like it. The program is not for a novice in computers. Thanks

Ross - I think you should check it out. Just remember that the action plans on MoreSolds.com haven't been implimented yet, but should be this year. Hopefully there is someone on this site affiliated with moresolds.com and can give us a time frame.

Kay - I really thinkt his new site is user friendly. Check it out! Can't hurt!

Thanks for free I think I will take a look at it

James - Great! Come back and let us know what you think.

Hi Kelly: Good post! I am still pretty jazzed about TOP PRODUCER, although I did try and then disbanded their MARKET SNAPSHOT. Could not justify the extra cost; didn't get anything whatsoever off of it (but then again I didn't go overboard marketing it, either).

My assistant knows TOP PRODUCER inside and out, so switching would be tough. After all the features are added, please let me know what you think.

Thanks, and good luck!!

Thanks Jacki - as soon as the site adds all of their pending features I'll definitely do an update post and let everyone know about it!

I will check this out also and let everyone know my thoughts. I was familiar with Agent Office, back when I was an Administrative Assistant and have heard oodles about Top Producer, but also didn;t like the year contract issue. I have a friend who uses an Outlook addon called RESPOND.

I'm going to take a look at this also. I've used most of the CRM programs out there and always seem to go back to outlook. I hate having to maintain multiple databases, one for client contact and notes, one for marketing mailers, one for e-marketing...

Dee & Bob - I definitely think this site is worth checking out. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles yet, but they're not far behind.

You can try out Market Leader as a contact management tool. I've heard many agents sing praises about how easy it is to use, how they like the automated drip campaigns and reminders. Be sure and explore the WebCapture feature that let's you put links on your website to capture prospect information that is instantly placed in your Market Leader. www.marketleader.com

Hi Kelly,

I see the last post you made about this was in February, it is now December. Is it still working out? I just posted a call for help or advise about this very topic. I am ready to try something new and so far what you posted has me intrigued about MoreSold.com.

My Top Producer issues were mostly due to its lcak of user friendliness. I am looking for something that will organize my contacts and do simple drip e-mail campaigns or at least reminders.

Great post, thanks for sharing your opinion on this topic.

Kelly,

I was wondering if you have stuck with MoreSolds? Product looks interesting. We sell a competitor called RealtyJuggler. The cost seems similar as do the features - although that assuming that they finished all the features you were talking about as pending. if you are looking for a comparison with another product you might want to check us out.

We offer a 90 day free trial.

If you like the software, it's $99 / year. We do charge by the year, but that's mainly because we just don't believe in monthly charges. I used to work for AOL, and we used to say our best customer was the one that never signed in. You see, what happens, is that once you sign up for a service like that, and forget about it, you might go for years before noticing the monthly charge on your credit card bill. So, we just don't do that - you purchase a year subscription. After the year, you have to pay again. We don't automatically charge you - we just think its more straightforward for all involved.

Sincerely,

This is for all who use Contact Managers.

Hope you will find this information useful.

It's such a tedious task to transfer leads/contacts manually into your Outlook. What do you do when you have a huge list of contacts/leads and you want to transfer them into your Contact Manager (Outlook, Excel, ACT!, REA, SalesForce.com, Top Producer, etc)? The only way to transfer the contacts/leads are by manually "Copy-Pasting" them in the contact manager.

You must be thinking, why hasn't anyone introduced a tool to automatically capture and transfer the leads/contacts in the contact manager?

GOOD NEWS!!! There is a tool available in the market and it does much more than just transfer contacts into your contact manager. It can even pull contact lists from any Internet source - name, email, address, fax, phone, website, etc.

ListGrabber is the most popular tool used by Top Real Estate Agents to increase their productivity and sales. Having a tool like ListGrabber can make the work life of an Real Estate professional easy.

ListGrabber is used by agents of RE/MAX, Century21, Coldwell Banker, Keller Williams and many others.
