National Speaker and Mobile Technology Guru, Dick Betts, recently wrote about five things a REALTOR needs to have with them even when out of the office:
Email - remember when we checked our email once every few days? Now people send you and email and call 10 minutes later wanting to know if you got it yet.
Web - maybe you don't think this is important but once you have it you will never go without it. Looking something up or quickly answering questions for clients is expected
Listings - this can turn into an embarrassment, the clients in the back seat can have listing information and you don't. Every agent needs MLS information 24/7 and telling people to wait until we get back to the office just doesn't get it.
Contact and Time Management - how can you keep yourself organized when you're away from your office without it? Keep your appointments and contacts in your hand no matter where you are.
Other programs - whether it's your calculator, voice recorder, having your Microsoft documents, camera and learn what you already have in your mobile device and learn it.
The Mobile Technology available now is amazing!! I purchased an I-phone last year and find that it does not offer (or I just can’t figure it out) many of the features Dick recommends.
Any advice out there? Anyone using an I-Phone for business?
