We have been releasing a bunch of new features to help agents who use our proposal software always have the edge over their competition.

During our daily reading we stumbled across this brilliant post by Caterina Bassano:

It features statistics out of the Harvard Business Review that shows that most companies are slow to respond to leads and goes on to say that companies that respond to leads within an hour are 7 times more likely to convert leads to sales.

“Companies that respond to leads within an hour, are 7 times more likely to convert leads to sales.”

With this in mind, we decided to build our view notification using the fastest method available to the majority of agents, SMS.

If you’re an ambitious agent, you’re always on the go and have your mobile phone within arms reach at all times, so it is a great medium for notifications to help you follow up with potential sellers immediately and increase your ability to win listings.

Every minute counts

Today we are introducing View Notifications for Proposals, an easy way to ensure that you are responding to leads as soon as physically possible.

You’re not always around a desk, and you’re not always checking your email. Good luck finding a point of the day you’re not near your phone though.

An SMS alert is sent as soon as a proposal is viewed which means you can follow up within 5 minutes (enough time for your vendor to view your beautifully prepared proposal) and discuss what they’ve seen, address any questions immediately and schedule the next step.

Faster Proposals, Faster Follow-ups

Coupled with the fact you can build a proposal within minutes of the first contact with the seller, and the insights provided on how much of the proposal viewers are reading, you’ll never have to come second to another agent again.

If you’re an existing Realhub customer this new alert feature is available now, if you’re not and would like to find out how you could be winning more listings contact us today for more information.
