CRM Phase 2 Programming Updates

With the ongoing updates to our CRM System we have posted five new features to our CRM System this week. These features further bolster the current functionality in our CRM System making it more useful to agents in their daily business activities. Below is a list of updates that have been posted along with a description of the functionality that was added.

Extended Error Checking
Auto import, manual import, and manual entry of contacts now has further checks for valid formatting of email addresses prior to importing them. This helps to save you time and saves on our system resources due to badly formatted email addresses.

Email Drafts
Agents and Company Administrators now have the ability to store draft emails that they are working on. This enables them to re-use drafts or work with them over time. I’m sure you have found yourself working on something with the need to come back and finish it later. This feature gives you this functionality now!

Email Attachments in Email Blasts
Agents and Company Administrators are now able to add up to three attachment files to email blasts totaling up to 10MB. This feature gives the ability to add attachments such as market reports, flyers, etc. to all email blasts. Email attachments are also supported in the Email Drafts functionality that has been added.

Email Blast Templates
Agents and Company Administrators can now create email blast templates. Just like the Campaigns in the Drip Marketing System, Companies can make email blast templates that are also available for use by the Agents. This will give you the ability to brand your email blasts on a consistent basis.

Extended Functionality in Manual Importing of Customers from Web
In the past, when importing customers from the web sites Agents could only import all customers into one group. Agents now have the ability to review all customers being imported and to select which groups they are imported to.

Driving Directions for Listings

We have added the ability to do driving directions to a listing. At one time we had this feature but it was lost during an upgrade to Google based mapping. The driving directions feature has been a commonly requested feature to be added back and we have done it ;-)

Effective immediately, when mapping a listing, customers can get driving directions to the listing from an address that they enter.

Upgrade to Open House System v3

We have further expanded the functionality of the new open house system (v3). The latest upgrade gives Brokerages the ability to disable the driving directions column for display. Some companies do not use this feature and in an effort to continue giving users the best possible user experience we now give administrators the ability to disable this field.

To disable the display of the directions field on the web site, go to the Admin Section, click on 'Open Houses', then click on the 'Open House Preferences' tab. Within this section select 'Hide' for the directions column.

My Home Finder Upgrades

My Home Finder, a popular Delta Media Group System feature since 2001 that sends out new listing notifications to customers, matching their search criteria to new listings has undergone another upgrade. This time we have added functionality that will tell customers how many new listings we have matched if there are more than 20 matching new listings. Prior to this upgrade we limited the matching results to 20 listings, as we still do, but we did not tell the customer how many new listings actually matched their criteria.

As of today, recipients of My Home Finder emails that match more than 20 new listings will see the following message where 'X' is the actual number of matching listings:

There are X new listings that match your saved search. Below you will find 20 of these new listings. To view all new listings that match this search for the past day click here.

As with all upgrades, we continually improve our systems to help facilitate doing more business with less work.
