OMS Upgrades – Contacts Module

We’ve improved the office contacts module to make it easier for you to manage your buyers, sellers and other people, such as vendors, whom you communicate with regularly.

The redesigned module allows you to sort by first name, last name, contact type, and email address. This way, you can quickly locate a contact’s information or just see all of your sellers listed together.

Help-U-Sell Real Estate Office Contacts Module
The updated Office Contacts module allows you to sort your contacts and to see what they're subscribed to at a glance.
With the addition of the acronym icons, it is easy to tell at a glance who is subscribed to what services you offer. FTK stands for First to Know, the email alerts buyers receive when new properties that fit the buyers’ criteria come on the market. DEC means Drip Email Campaign. S.LGN is the Sellers’ Login that enables sellers to view some back-end information about their listings and to share documents with you.

By clicking the View button to the right of the icons, you can look at the contact’s more detailed information, including phone number, birthday, listing address (if the contact is a seller), search criteria (if a buyer is signed up for FTK), and drip email campaigns. You are also able to edit or add to contact information from this screen.

Have you tried it out yet? Let us know how you like it and if you have any requests or suggestions for further enhancements.

We’re Gearing Up for Fall

It may be only May, but we’re already making plans for our fall tour de force. This year, we’re exhibiting at two state/regional Realtor expos, in addition to our booth at the REALTORS Conference & Expo. Our annual Success Summit, which is free for our franchisees and their agents to attend, will take place in Las Vegas in October.

Here is our itinerary for this fall.

We invite you to join us for one or more of these events. We’ll keep you updated as we have more information. If you are not a franchisee yet, there’s still time to become a member of the Help-U-Sell family and join us for the Success Summit. To speak with us in the meantime or learn more about Help-U-Sell, please contact us or visit our Franchise Opportunity Center website.

We’d also like to make a special mention of our fourth-place finisher, Alabama’s Help-U-Sell Quad Cities Realty, for closing four buyer sides and four seller sides last month, with six of the eight sides being part of dual-sided transactions. Way to go, Tracy Jacobs and team! Congratulations to all of our top offices for April!

OMS Upgrades – New Leads Management Tool

Several of our franchisees requested the ability to export leads and contacts from the Office Management System. We have just added this functionality to the back-end, in the Reports section.

To access these exports, click on Reports under the Sales tab.

Help-U-Sell Real Estate Contact and Lead Management Tools
To access contact and lead export tools, click on Reports on the Sales menu in OMS.

Once you’ve selected either Contact or Lead export, you can choose a specific category to export. In this example, Sellers have been chosen from the Contact category.

Help-U-Sell Contact Export Menu
Choose a specific contact type (or choose all) to export from the OMS.

There are six options for exporting the generated list of contacts or leads, including Acrobat (PDF), Excel 97-2003 and CSV, which will likely be the most useful.

Help-U-Sell Real Estate Contact and Lead Export Tool
