How Do I Build A Database for My Business?
How Do I Build A Database for My Business?
 
Inspired by training taught by John Reynolds Associate Broker at Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland- 4 Laws of Database Management
How Do I Build A Database for My Business? 
1.   Choose A Database-  There are lots of them on the market.  Most brokerages have a database you can use, just be sure you know who owns your information.  Can you take it with you if you leave? Some lenders and realtors ® have multiple databases for different purposes.  This can be a huge cost, or a very small cost, depending on the program… I would recommend that if you are planning on getting your own that you start with a basic plan.  All the bells and whistles will cost you as you work on gathering your contacts.  You can always add the bells and whistles later. 
 
I started out with allclients…refer a friend and get $5 off per month!  If you are looking for a good, basic database to get started, this is a great one to take a look at…  http://www.allclients.com/?rfcode=7QHX57
