A new contender for consumer's attention is Amazon's Echo with voice-assistant, Alexa.  Should you have your "skills" (that's Amazon's word for apps) on Alexa?  If you want to connect with a new audience that has not yet been inundated by other real estate pros, the answer is, YES!

Learn more about this potentially powerful new way to get in front of more clients in the full real estate update article available here.  Thanks to Bryson for letting me weigh in on this untapped lead generation market.

UPDATE 10/20/2017

It's one week later from when I made this suggestion and there is already a company who is getting ahead of the curve: Voiceter Pro.  Inman News just posted TODAY that if you are a partner real estate agent with Voiceter Pro, when people ask the Amazon Echo, "Alexa, How much is my home worth?", Voiceter Pro with connect them with partner agents. 

 

What the what?!?  I JUST said this technology is coming and here it is!  You should not sleep on this -- your business needs to be connected with Alexa to help you generate new leads in the new year. 

 

I have not vetted Voiceter Pro but you can create your own skill (app) on Alexa or partner with your brokerage.  The key in our business is staying top of mind and that often means being part of the most popular technology. 

 

Here's to the new trends coming in 2018 that are starting now!

 

Within the same week of my discussion, this technology is here!

If I want true information, the internet is the last place I will look

Ha!  William, unfortunately, you likely are a "dying breed" since the internet is the only place that many people get information.  With that in mind, that should be even more incentive for you to be the "voice of truth" online for people.  If you aren't there, you can't be part of the conversation... I hope you will join the conversation!

I haven't paid a lot of attention to Alexa/Echo and don't have one (and don't want one). But I think I should start learning about the technology.

Hi Kat!  It's crazy that I just wrote about this and Inman News TODAY just featured a company that IS partnering with agents to do this (I have updated my post to reflect this update).  I was spot on with this so yes, I hope you will look into it to stay ahead of the curve.Inman News ScreenShot
