CRM Enlightenment with Agent Tech Mastery
Defining CRMs and their importance @ 0:00
Darci and Terry discuss what a client relationship management (CRM) software is and why it is an essential tool for real estate agents. They emphasize that a CRM is more than just a contact database - it helps manage the entire client lifecycle, including appointments, email campaigns, and transaction management.
Pitfalls of using a CRM incorrectly @ 5:29
Darci and Terry share stories of agents who have struggled with CRMs, either by not using them properly or by relying on a brokerage-provided CRM. They caution against using a CRM as a standalone database without integrating it with other systems, and warn about the risks of losing data when switching brokerages or CRMs.
Criteria for evaluating and selecting a CRM @ 12:59
Darci outlines key criteria to consider when evaluating a CRM, such as whether it provides a two-way sync with contacts and calendars across devices. She advises against using pre-built features like newsletters and drip campaigns, and instead recommends customizing them to reflect the agent's unique brand and communication style.
The cost of not using a CRM effectively @ 24:27
Darci shares that many agents she has spoken with have lost significant business opportunities, often in the range of $100,000 to billions of dollars, due to not having a properly configured and utilized CRM. She emphasizes the importance of consistently staying in touch with past clients and contacts to maintain top-of-mind awareness.
Recap and next steps @ 37:02
Darci and Terry wrap up the discussion, encouraging listeners to book a call with them to review their current systems and get guidance on selecting and implementing a CRM that aligns with their business needs. They also tease an upcoming podcast episode on the topic of newsletters.
