The Automated Agent eBook

I've just signed up for my FREE 30 day trial with Top Producer 8i. As with any software program, to get the most out of it you need to read the instruction book. So I downloaded the manual from Top Producer, all 191 pages and started to read it. Just what I needed, another manual written by a computer geek. Now I'm frustrated. So I'm off to my trusted place for online learning, youtube.com.

I search for "Top Producer 8i" and the first video to appear was " TrainingWithTravis ." I sat and watched a video on how to build your own custom action plan with 8i. I found Travis was explaining and showing how easy it is to work within the system. I noticed a link to his site, " www.AgentBreakthrough.com ." I came across his manual on The Automated Agent. I don't really purchase things over the internet but I noticed the PayPal. I went ahead and spent the $29.95 and hoped for the best. Once the payment was processed (which only took a minute), I was given the link to download The Automated Agent eBook.

I printed off the eBook and began my challenge of learning how to use Top Producer. With the clock ticking on my 30 day trial, I was quickly drawn to Part Five, adding The Automated Agent to Top Producer.

The quality of the screen shots and the bubble notes for each shot was very easy and clear to follow. I have learned very quickly how to make the most out of The Automated Agent handbook. This will help me save time, money and most importantly help me to fully utilize Top Producer. I truly enjoy the additional email library that was at the end of The Automated Agent. Over 60 emails that can be added to any system. Did I forget to mention all this for only $29.95?

I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn how to use Top Producer. An outstanding job by Travis!

Fantastic; clear, concise, easy to follow, action-oriented. Truly a must read for any real estate agent; they will undoubtedly increase their personal productivity and see a dramatic increase in their profitability.

-Mike Cylkowski

AgentBreakthrough.com has been instrumental for our team. With Travis' help, we've implemented a system that is moving forward and generating quality leads that before might have been lost. The system's automation has allowed us to use Top Producer at a higher level and has freed up valuable time for our agents to focus their attention to serving their clients. It's been awesome!

Agent Breakthrough Consulting

"We implemented the prospecting and follow-up tools designed by Travis (from www.AgentBreakthrough.com ) in May, 2008. In a very short time span, we saw our daily tasks streamlined, and our closed transactions increased by an average of two per month! The benefit of Travis Olson's (The Automated Agent) system are significant for the Realtors seeking to connect with, and convert buyers and sellers."

-Mark & Laura Anderson

At some point our team realized we were working too hard generating leads only to let die on the vine as a result of seat-of-your-pants, inconsistent follow up. We implemented The Automated Agent high touch strategies last year (2008) and it took our business to the next level. Gone are the days of losing business due to mishandled, lost or neglected leads. This is the real deal. These systems now give us the infrastructure we need to be able to handle the weight of sustained growth. The Automated Agent's systems aren't something you use so much as unleash!"

Dear Travis

"As you know, I love being organized, but can't stand to do it. In the past I have purchased several books on the subject, had people help me time to time, but nothing ever worked beyond a month or so to keep me organized, focused and on task. It has been approximately six months since you reorganized my office systems and my contact management systems. The impact this has had on my business and my life are incredible. I am now focused, organized and I have systems in place I am confident will last. My appointments have increased and at the end of the day I no longer have a sinking feeling that I missed something. When I arrive in the morning my office is clean and when I turn on my computer I know exactly who I will be calling, writing to and meeting with at a glance.

There are many people out there with good systems, however you were able to communicate and coach me through what I needed to do in a way that made sense. You have that rare gift as a coach to challenge a person without making them feel overwhelmed.

You really out did yourself with "The Automated Agent". It is so much more than I expected! Very easy to follow and comprehensive. I will be promoting it to everyone here.

Thank you so much, You, sir, are a genius!"

Agent Breakthrough Classes

Travis,

I wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying the Automated Agent class, and how it is already helping my business.

I have implemented over half of these plans into my Top Producer so far, and my clients are already noticing the difference. The action plans are really helping me to get my business organized and running smoothly at literally the "touch of a button". I love being able to open up Top Producer in the morning and know exactly what I need to do today. I can now keep track of my leads and know that they are receiving relevant messages and information from me without me having to think about it! No more lost leads! I am on track with my listings and my sellers appreciate the timely updates. The reminders for price adjustments actually netted me $35,000 in reductions in the past week!

This system is moving me closer to my goal of having a full-time assistant, because I will now be able to easily hand the daily administrative duties over to someone else with the confidence that they will be done correctly. Thank you for doing the work to build this powerful system, and helping to make this easy for the rest of us!

-Myra Jensen

Travis was very open with his approaches and his supporting documents.  I have been using Top Producer for at least 3 years and I still learned some great tips!  This information, I am confident, will help me convert more leads, get more closings and track where they come from better.

Thanks Travis

-Rochelle Ann Allison

I feel that this class is very good for the new Top Producer users because it points you in the right direction to become efficient as fast as possible.  It is crucially relevant to building systems to become more efficient.

-Perry Rogotzke

I am convinced that if I followed the system (The Automated Agent), I would greatly improve my business.

-Ed Mielech

Thank You!  Sometimes taking the time to walkthrough the fundamentals just aligns the thinking, making the system more approachable.  It helps to see how things are done via demonstrations (in Top Producer) and helps focus your time; as it requires some dedication.

-Liana Palaikis

Extremely helpful - I would recommend this class to any agent having difficulty using Top Producer.  This class was very helpful with setting up my 33 touch and 8 x 8 plans, something that would be helpful to most agents.

-Josh Borchardt

Building systems to automate your business is a surefire way to increase your productivity and income.  Using systems will help to develop the profession into one with credibility and consistency.  Hopefully will drive out bad/ lazy agents.

-Aaron Schumm

Great class - Too many agents waste the tools they have by not knowing how to use them or maximize their use.  I would highly recommend this class to other agents.  No more Post It notes or excel spreadsheets, Systematize your business.

-Steve Rooker

Great class, Travis uses Top Producer daily and knows how the software can automate your business.  This course gives you the follow up systems and materials to automatically follow up with a prospect or client.

-Ken Holman

Excellent class!  Even as a somewhat experienced user (of Top Producer) - I learned a lot and got some great ideas.  I would absolutely recommend this class to other Realtors - especially new agents and new Top Producer users.

-Caran Mollner

Great overview.  Top Producer should pay him to train new users so we can really make it work for our business.  Travis really knows Top Producer and how to make it work for him and his company.  He can help others to do the same provided enough time.

-Rob Brown

Travis followed through with every request made by class members - such as emailing related materials, etc.  Was great to have Jenny (Installation Specialist for AgentBreakthrough.com) here to help out on an individual basis.

-Sonja Ellingson

Travis has a great approach with Realtors who may be reluctant to use technology to its fullest - he can help you advance!

-Dick Turner

Top Producer

First off, I would like to thank you for coming up with Agent Breakthrough. I bought it, signed up for Top Producer and have used your method with the emails. I LOVE it! I have gotten many great results because of it! Every lead that comes through whether through my website or by our lead system at RE/MAX, I am immediately put them into Top Producer and let your method do its work. I have gotten so much positive feedback from prospective clients saying that I'm the only agent that contacts them and doesn't forget about them! Because your method it appear as if I'm in front of my laptop writing these emails to them, not forgetting about them, it makes my clients feel that I'm truly dedicated to them.
Thanks again Travis.

-Jese Gonzalez

It's easy to do activities that are part of your 80% and avoid the 20% prospecting ones. With The Automated Agent and Top Producer, there are systems in place for every type of lead to make sure you are doing your 20% everyday and even in your sleep! Nothing is better than getting up with an email response from a prospect - you never even sent out - the system did it automatically!! The Automated Agent will increase your conversion and put more money in your pocket.
