Top Producer 8i - I just made the switch!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Greenville Upstate

I'm in love.  It's like that moment when the two people see each other from across a field, and they run smiling into each others' arms, wildly swinging around in a circle in a joyful embrace.

Ok, maybe not that intense, but it's close.  It's just hard to embrace a laptop.

I just got set up on Top Producer 8i after being a faithful user of 7i. 

IT IS AMAZING.

I'm sure that there are bugs that will be worked out, and I'm also sure that there will be features that I don't like, but overall I'm very happy with the product.  One of my biggest pet peeves with 7i was that you couldn't open up multiple windows, so if I got an email asking if I could list a house on Monday, I had to close my email, open my schedule, check the date, close the schedule, open the email, and reply. 

Now, you simply open up multiple windows.  Not only will this help me day to day, but my clients will get even faster service, and that is ALWAYS a plus.

I love it!

I'll report back more later when I've been using it long enough to get a true picture of the product, but for now, I'm going to wipe the kiss off my laptop's screen and go dancing down the hall!

Ok, an update... I'm out of the honeymoon period and am working on building the relationship.  The program is better, but now I don't like the email interface as much (yet).  I am having trouble getting used to the new format.  I am still excited about it, but now I see that I'll have to work on getting used to the new platform.  We'll see!

MULTIPLE WINDOWS ??!!  WHOO HOO !!  I can't wait till it rolls out here, too.  I think it's coming soon.

Your post was hilarious !  I also see from your update that it's not all nirvana, but overall you're still doin' a happy dance.

Bill, after a few months what do you think now? I used to use 7i, but got tired of the slowness in getting bugs fixed, basic email features lacking, and trouble exporting data. In fact, when I exported my last client list, a few hundred names mysteriously vanished. I was not impressed. Have they improved?
