Expert Agent Technology News - Nov 11
I've not written this newsletter for some months - we've just been incredibly busy with new Expert Agent initiatives like Potential Vendor Alerts and MarketPlace.
We're also amazingly busy with new orders - almost all mid sized businesses migrating from other products. I sense that there's a feeling amongst mid sized firms that having survived some tough years, they believe they have a long-term future so need to upgrade their old fashioned desktop technology. All of our snazzy Facebook, Twitter, QR Codes, Short URLs, mobile apps, mobile websites etc seem to help.
I'm going to try to keep you informed about estate agency technology matters on a more regular basis. It is my favourite subject. If you have any comments or ideas, catch me on LinkedIn.
