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.

Cartus brokers have many additional FORMS in the ReloSpec database as well as special tasks related to those forms.  In addition to the six (6) sample Action Plans listed above, there are an additional five (5) Cartus-only Action Plans which may be added.  They are:

Free ReloSpec ‘Mobile’ App for Smart Phones and PCs!

The Relocation Specialist (ReloSpec) Mobile App is now better than ever!  Using your smart phone, go to www.ReloSoftware.com and click the ‘Relocation Specialist Login’ link at the top of the page.  If you’re accessing the page from a smart phone, the ‘Mobile’ mode will be automatically selected.  There is no special app to download or install.  Simple and FREE for all ReloSpec users.

The whole look and feel of the ‘Mobile’ mode is cleaner-looking, simpler to navigate and easier to use.  You have access to all the normal features such as AutoPilot, Action Plans, Notes, Closing, Forms and even Reports, plus a couple new ones not available in the Classic (non-Mobile) version.

PC users may select the Mobile ‘Theme’ in the Users table and when using a PC the Mobile version will always be selected automatically without remembering to click the ‘Mobile’ checkbox on the Main Menu page.  It is expected that many PC users will opt for the Mobile Theme (and version) because of the cleaner presentation of data and new options.

The Mobile version works well with PCs, smart pads and smart phones.  If it can connect to the Internet, it will work.  We invite you to check out the new Mobile version of ReloSpec and let us know what you think.

AutoPilot Items Now May Have Expiration Dates

The AutoPilot is one of the most powerful (and popular!) features of the Relocation Specialist database.  It allows you to enter tasks (ToDo items), then send them automatically when they’re due.  This works well for update requests from agents and contacts, drip email marketing to clients/transferees and other tasks.

Beginning today you have the option of adding an Expiration Date for your AutoPilot items.  In the ToDo page there is a new field for Expiration Date.  This is an optional field, and you may either use the pop-up calendar to select a date or you may enter the date manually (eg. MM/DD/YYYY).  Then, when AutoPilot runs and if the item is set to REPEAT, ReloSpec will calculate the date for the next repeated item as long as the future date is not after the Expiration Date.

The Expiration Date has also been added to the Action Plan Items page.  So, now you can set up tasks to be done in advance and select the number of days into the future that will be the Expiration Date.  In this case you’ll be entering just the number (eg. 60) of days needed.  This is an optional field and is required only if you want to set the Expiration Date in advance.

There is a new Training Video to help you get started with this exciting new feature.

Text Message feature is Enhanced

Exciting new ‘Text Message’ features are now available in your Relocation Specialist (ReloSpec) database!  In the past you have been able to send a Text Message by clicking the FORMS link, browse to ‘Text to Assigned Agent’, complete the text and SEND.  Now it is quicker and easier!  From the Referrals List grid, click the ‘TM’ link in the Assigned Agent Last Name field or the Referring Agent Last Name field and the Text Message page opens with the Text Address already entered.  Once the text has been sent, the text is added to the Notes table automatically!

But, it gets better.  Now you can schedule texts to be sent using Action Plans, and AutoPilot.  Do you want the AutoPilot to send a text to the agent, and schedule it in advance?  Now you can.  New buttons have been added to the Action Plan Items and the ToDo pages so that you can instantly insert the agent’s Text Address, then have AutoPilot send the text on the scheduled date!

All of this assumes you have the agent’s Text Address entered in the Agents table.  You’ll need to know the cell phone number and the service provider.  There is a handy list of service providers in the Agents table UPDATE page.  You’ll be combining the cell number + the service providers address.  For example, if the number is “4025906910” and the provider is AT&T then the Text Address would be 4025906910@txt.att.net.  Then, whenever the agent is selected from the Agents table, the Text Address is copied into the Referrals table record and is available for Action Plans or AutoPilot to use.

‘Favorite Forms’ now in AutoPilot and Action Plans

Selecting the ‘Form to send’ when generating a new AutoPilot in the ToDo page just got a lot easier!  Instead of including all 100+ Forms, the droplist now includes ONLY your Favorite Forms.  That makes it much easier to select the one you want.  This same list of Favorite Forms is used when adding a new Action Plan Item in the Action Plans page.

The use of your Favorite Forms is only when ADDing a new record in the AutoPilot (ToDo) record, or the Action Plan Items page.  If you click the pencil to UPDATE a record in either page you’ll have the full list of all available Forms.

To adjust your ‘Favorite Forms’ list, go to the Utility Settings page (from the Main Menu), click ‘Favorite Forms’ and add the ones you want to include.  The list of ‘Favorite Forms’ will be the same for all in your database.  It is not set for individual users.

Want to help others select their ‘Favorite Forms’?  Need help selecting which forms to use?  We’re in the process of compiling a list of the most popular Forms, and ‘Favorite Reports’.  If you have suggestions for other ReloSpec users, please submit them to support@prosws.com.  We’ll put the list together, then make it available to all.

We hope this saves time and confusion when selecting the correct Form to use.

‘Agent Access’ Now Available at a Lower Price

Want to give your agents Read-Only access to their Referrals table records? You can with the Agent Access option.  For just $25 per agent per year you can let your agents view their records, add their own new records, provide comments/updates about referrals assigned to them and even use the Action Plans and Drip Email features of the database!

It’s a great way for agents to view/report on their referrals which may even be accessed from their smart phone!  Agents will have access to a limited number of reports that include only their own referrals, plus they can SUBMIT new records for Outgoing referrals.  And, agents will view ONLY those Notes that you have designated as ‘Public’.

A minimum of 10 agent licenses ($250/year) is all that’s needed to get started.  Additional licenses are available at further discounted rates.  For more information, email info@prosws.com.

New Feature, and it’s a good one!

NEW FEATURE:  AutoAssign and AutoAccept (Forms and Action Plans)

Today we are announcing a new feature known as “AutoAssign and AutoAccept”.  This new feature combines the use of the ‘AutoAssign’ form with Action Plans that enable you to quickly assign referrals to agents, then have ReloSpec respond automatically when the agent accepts.

For example, let’s say you want to assign a referral to the agent.  You send the AutoAssign form to the agent, but don’t want to send all the information about the client until AFTER the agent accepts.  You could have an Action Plan named “AutoAssign” and when you select that plan the ‘AutoAssign’ form is emailed to the agent. 

The new feature is what happens next.  If the agent clicks YES and Submits the AutoAssign form, ReloSpec will look in your Action Plans table and if it finds an Action Plan named “AutoAccept” it will immediately carry out what is listed.

The ‘AutoAccept’ Action Plan could then, for example, send the ‘Incoming Information Sheet’ to the agent and send a letter to the client letting them know who the agent is.  All this happens without anyone being logged into ReloSpec!

There are two special Web Seminars scheduled for next week to show how to use this exciting new feature.  Be sure to check the ‘Live Web Seminars’ page for this and other helpful 30-minute seminars.

New Feature, Link Straight to Action Plans

There is now a new link below ‘To Do’ on the Referrals List page labeled ‘Action Plans’

That link will take you DIRECTLY to the Action Plans page and allows you to assign Action Plan Items without stopping at the To Do page first!

This was a suggestion from one of our users and we LOVED IT!  Keep the good ideas coming!

Cheers,

The Relocation Specialist Team
