VoicePad has become an established leader for mobile property marketing. Always looking for new ways to serve the real estate community, they recently rolled-out a new product offering crafted specifically for real estate teams. Team Phone is a cloud-based phone system that was built with the goal of allowing teams to be more productive and more responsive to consumers' needs. The system, which is integrated with listing data, delivers automated property information, generates leads and automates many business processes. It requires no hardware or software and works with all mobile devices.
If you're unfamiliar with the concept behind VoicePad, a basic introduction may help. They offer real estate professionals an integrated mobile property marketing platform that includes: call capture (with auto-recorded audio presentations), text (to receive property information via text with links to mobile Web) and mobile Web (mobile websites featuring virtual tours, photos, interactive maps, and online searches). VoicePad currently services over 1500 offices with over 65,000 agents in approximately 200 MLSs.
The goal of VoicePad's mobile marketing strategies is, of course, lead generation. And VoicePad is taking their lead generation to the next level . . . but I'm getting ahead of myself; we'll talk about that next week. Now, let's talk about Team Phone.
The concept for Team Phone was developed after talking with real estate professionals at trade shows and conferences, as well as in response to customer requests. Larger teams wanted to be able to manage their own leads and route them as if, in a way, they were their own autonomous brokerage. They wanted to leverage MLS data for property search, but didn't want to be limited to a brokerage-wide business structure. They also wanted to receive their own inquiries and generate their own leads. Team Phone was developed to allow these teams to efficiently and independently operate their business from a single phone system, to route calls to individual agents' cell phones; or to provide automated property information, depending on the consumer's needs.
"Agents gravitate toward teams to get themselves to the next level," says Jim Metz, VoicePad national sales manager "But, in order to be profitable, they need to be centralized, automated and always available.. By using an MLS-driven phone system as the hub, you can establish your team as an autonomous, highly-efficient group."
So, what will teams get for their investment in Team Phone? Here are the basics.
