Dear readers,
I attended a free Top Producer training class this morning led by Reid Kegel, our TP regional sales associate. Scheduled for three hours, I went into it wondering how much time would be training vs. time spent trying to sell me add-ons to Top Producer 7i.
I was very pleasantly surprised. I've been using Top Producer for about eight months, and already has most of it figured out through their on-line courses or through trial and error. That said, there were five Ah-ha's that I learned that would have made any sales presentation worth it, but Reid didn't have to sell. The program sold itself, and Reid is a realist. Not every part of Top Producer is perfect, and he helped us around the rough spots.
I think the most amazing thing I learned was that one of our area's top agents wasn't using TP, at least to its full potential. Her entire team was there this morning though, and I suspect she is about to become more organized.
To long-term debate for me, from a technology standpoint, is the return to mainframe based software which requires a constant connection to the server. These are the systems I grew up with in the early 70's, that I think we wisely moved away from. With today's Internet connections this system is practical, but when the ones and zeros stop flowing, you have nothing. Time will tell.
Have a great weekend!
