Smart phones

The days of the flip phone are gone.  To be the best agent you can be, if you haven't done so already, it is time to upgrade that cute little phone to a smart phone.  In the age of being mobile you need a device which will allow you to get your email, text, make calls, and access the internet as quickly as you would if you were sitting in front of your computer.

Instant information and communications are what the clients are looking for.  Today's top agents are the ones who can provide this instant gratification to their clients.  With the clients having access to the same type of information you have via their phones what will set you apart?  The speed at which you get back to them.  The first one to make contact usually will get the client.

I happen to have an HTC Droid, but that doesn't really matter, there are many different choices when it comes to smart phone technology.  Iphone, Droid, Blackberry the brand name makes no difference as long as you are able to get and respond to your email instantly, access the internet instantly, download apps which can access programs you need to do your business, text, make phone calls, sync with your calendar and open and read documents and spreadsheets.  In addition please take the time to learn the phones features and functions so you are an expert while using it.

Of course your smart phone comes with some sort of monthly or annual plan with a cell provider, again the name brand is not as important as the quality of service.  Ask around and find out which provider has the best service in your area, then find a plan which will give you the most access at the best price.  So this is going to be a monthly expense you need to budget for, but it is a monthly expense you can't do without.

In conjunction with the technologies we have already spoken about, your smart phone will make you stand out in front of your competition.  With Zipforms, docusign, documanager and smart phones you will be a truly mobile agent.  Mobility and instant access is the name of the game.  Go out today and start your search for the right smart phone with the right monthly plan today.
