This is probably the single biggest question that I get a lot from my agents on a day-to-day basis.
And if you’ve been in the business for a while I’m sure you’ve jumped back and forth between more than a few options.
But rather than shopping for which CRM has the best features, the more important part is simply to automate your activity or the process of following up with your leads and creating a post-close process for getting more customer reviews and asking for referrals.
I’m all for embracing new apps and technology. However, you’ll never become great at using tools if you’re constantly changing them. So commit to utilizing certain key tools in your business and invest instead on improving your skills within those technologies (i.e. improving your follow up sales process).
With that said, let’s jump into today’s episode!
