The next issue in our Paperless Real Estate Sales Professional Series addresses mobile CRM. You
may or may not currently use a CRM - not all real estate sales professionals
are, but those who do enjoy increased efficiency and sales as a result. This is
why we decided to include a review of mobile CRM as the last blog in our
Paperless Real Estate Sales Professional
Series.
What is CRM? CRM is an acronym for Customer Relationship
Management. Wikipedia defines CRM as “a system for managing a company's
interactions with current and future customers. It often involves using
technology to organize, automate and synchronize sales, marketing, customer
service, and technical support.”
CRM has historically been delivered through software that
you can access on your computer, the introduction of the cloud has also seen
the emergence of cloud-based CRM. There are a vast number of real estate
specific CRM, but is having a CRM on your desktop outdated, especially in this
age of mobile technology?
Apps like ViMO have enabled real estate sales professionals
to have CRM access on the go through their tablet. A CRM helps you keep track
of your clients and prospects. Using your ViMO mobile CRM you can database
information like the client’s birthdate, occupation, interests, personal
anniversaries, anniversaries related to the home, names and ages of children,
what their current home has and what their dream home would have, mortgage
details, names of referral sources and much more…
By keeping this information stored in your ViMO app, you can
now email-market to your clients easily by sending out:
·
