Updated ‘Welcome’ and ‘Thank You’ letters for Cartus Users

The Cartus ‘USAA Welcome’ letters and the ‘USAA Thank You’ letters have all been updated in Relocation Specialist.  They contain all required changes including the addition of the USAA MoversAdvantage Preferred Broker logo.

For all Cartus users of ReloSpec, there are no changes needed in your Action Plan Items or your ToDo lists.  This is because the forms have the same names.  They just have updated wording, etc.  The Descriptions found on the FORMS page for the affected forms now include “Revised Feb 2013” to indicate the last revision date.

The Standard Business Rules option includes the following rules:

  • Run AutoPilot Automatically
  • Email/text administrator if there are records in the Import table
  • Email/text Administrator if agent responds that he/she will NOT accept an assignment
  • When agent update request is not answered in a certain amount of time, notify owner to take action
  • Email/text administrator if AutoPilot item is missing the email address
  • When a response is submitted by an agent and marked “Urgent”, automatically text/email the administrator
  • Email/text administrator if LastUpdateDate for an ‘Active’ referral record is > 2 Weeks old
  • Email/text administrator if Referrals table record has no MgrConsultant assigned
  • Email/text Link for up to three (3) Customized Advanced Reports at pre-determined times

The cost of the Business Rules option is $899/year and includes customization of the Standard rules.  Additional rules, if needed may be configured at the rate of $140/hours.

Sample Action Plans for FREE!

Action Plans are a great way to save time and effort while setting up those ToDo tasks including AutoPilots.  But many need a little help getting started.  For those who would like them, there are now 6 standard Action Plan samples that are available for the asking.  The Action Plans include:

  • AutoAssign (for sending Assignments to the agent)
  • AutoAccept (tasks that are done as soon as the agent accepts the assignment)
  • Check in with Client (sends an email to the client in 21 days and another 14 days later)
  • Email Campaign (sets up emails to be sent every 30 days to the client)
  • In-Buy (sends Assignment to agent, Incoming Info Sheet to agent, and adds Update Request that repeats every 14 days)
  • Update Request From Agent (just the Update Request sent every 14 days)

Once the samples are in your Action Plans table you can adjust as needed.  For example, say you want to send the update request every 30 days you can change it.

Let us know (Jennifer: jennifer@prosws.com OR Sue: sue@prosws.com OR info@prosws.com) if you’d like the sample Action Plans added to your Action Plan table.  There is no charge for this service.
