Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all of our e-Agents and readers. We hope that 2004 is everything you hope it will be.

Alert to AOL Clients

Due to the new SPAM laws that had started as of January 1st, 2004 we have encountered issues with getting our leads to our clients using AOL services.

e-Agent has contacted AOL and have set up AOL accounts to test the software and configured it to retrieve our leads to no avail unfortunately. We are advising our clients with AOL addresses to change their e-mail address to another Internet service provider (ISP). e-Agent clients are given a free Imail account to use; if you do not know how to access your account or forgot your password you can contact lauraw@e-agent.biz. Clients can also use sources like Yahoo Mail or Hotmail, these are free for you to use and are so far very reliable. (Attention: the free email accounts have limited amount of space/megabytes)

All e-Agents can access all current as well as your previous leads by going to www.e-agent.biz/agent.asp) and inputting a login ID and password. We apologize for the inconvenience, and will advise you if or when the issue is resolved.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hint of the Month

Contacting your leads within the first 10 minutes of receiving a lead can make a crucial difference in your sales ratios. You can be notified when you receive a lead or email by using a palm pilot or text messaging device which can be purchased at most electronic stores. These devices can come in handy for anything from adding in addresses to receiving emails.

e-Agent of the Month

This is a new section that we have added to our Newsletter, it will be showcasing a different e-Agent each month. If you have an e-Agent success story, feel free to email lauraw@e-agent.biz.

This month we are spotlighting Susan Strope who has been an e-Agent for the Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Englewood and North Port, FL territories for over 17 months. Susan has been a real estate agent for 26 years now and has had a great deal of professional success with some help from e-Agent. Using e-Agent as her sole lead source, Susan has elevated herself to the #1 real estate agent at Century 21 in units sold within the State of Florida, and #7 in the United States.
Susan attributes e-Agent with a big boom in business helping her sell over 260 units in 2003 up from 140 in 2002. Susan acknowledges her team she has been working with since 1984; her team has added a different perspective in many situations which has been very positive. Susan would like to point out Judy Alexander, her sales coordinator, for being a great compliment to her personality.

Susan dealt with much discrimination before she entered the real estate business due to her gender, but the real estate profession has offered her a path to excel as far as she would like financially, as well as giving her an opportunity to be in a business where there is so much variety that you can never get tired of it. We would like to congratulate Susan and her team on their success and determination to succeed.

Sue’s Hint to Fellow e-Agents:

Hiring someone to work your e-Agent leads can help extremely. When someone is available to provide your leads with an immediate response, you will make a great impression on your leads as well as make an amazing difference in your sales ratios.
