Marketing Automation and CRM 101

If you’re an active real estate agent in 2017, chances are that you’re at least somewhat familiar with the concept of a marketing automation system and/or a customer relationship management system (CRM). Marketing automation software is used to help real estate agents automate repetitive tasks such as following up with leads via email, publishing/ advertising to social media, updating websites and more. In other words, marketing automation software helps you streamline, automate and measure your marketing tasks, ultimately freeing up time for you to focus on selling/closing more deals.

Similarly, a customer relationship management system (CRM) is a platform that manages all of your team’s interactions with prospective and current clients, designed to make it easier to manage all aspects of your real estate business through a variety of convenient features. Together, a marketing automation system and CRM can help you to better manage your team, collect more leads, nurture new and existing leads, and convert more transactions. Here’s how:
