Best Practices
Personalize Your Services
Listen to your clients’ needs and address their specializations such as property types, price range, or locations. This account customization also provides you with opportunities for additional services and revenue.
Set Client Expectations
Clarify what your services include and confirm your clients are not expecting services outside of what you offer. They are often exploring multiple services and may get confused.
Time can be required for IDX licensing approval before your clients’ sites can go live. Our Partner Program provides all the information you need to plan and set your clients’ expectations.
Additional fees may apply for IDX service in some MLSs. Our system provides Partners with this information so you can provide accurate quotes to your clients.
Be Consistent & Organized
There can be a lot of information to track for each client’s website launch, and this starts adding up quickly when you are managing multiple clients. Considering developing a standardized intake form to collect client information and requirements and keep this with their record. And make sure to document any custom content they have such as videos, images, and testimonials that will be used on their website.
Address Universal Needs
Your clients should understand how your service helps them save time, work more efficiently, and grow faster. when your clients understand how your service addresses these
needs, they will appreciate the value of your service even greater.
It’s worthwhile to make the effort to educate your clients and explain the “why” behind features in your service so they appreciate the value and understand why their website and all the features (discussed below) are so important to their business when used properly. You may even find you can add training services to add to your revenue. This will help your clients apply best practices in their accounts, help them get the most value, and reduce client churn.
