"Master Your KW Mobile App" Video Contest

Greetings, KW Technology Ambassadors! 

Happy Friday, and we hope you're having a fun and exciting summer and are making the most of the weather no matter where you are. Here is your weekly Ambassador update:

"MASTER YOUR KW MOBILE APP" CONTEST PARTICIPANTS TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!

At KW, we are constantly raising the bar and when it comes to the "KW Mobile App Contest" our Technology Ambassadors are certainly no exception.

One of our long time Ambassadors Mary Kay Mooney not only submitted their video, she took it a step further:

"For the month of July in our office we ran the "Summer Film Festival". These were classes all based around a video or movie. This included the Mobile App Mastery class, as well as KW Connect Video. We had ALC agents showing a few KW Connect videos for classes as well. We totally played off the movie theme with having a popcorn machine and a feature presentation lineup."

Here is a reminder of how you can submit your workshop video:

You could win a "Share Your App" T-shirt signed by Gary Keller and KWRI executives! Want to win? Here's how:

1. Download the workshop materials from the KWU website.
2. Schedule and deliver the workshop in your Market Center.
3. After the workshop, create a brief video that includes testimonials or “takeaways” from at least three workshop participants.
4. Share the video with us at ambassadors@kw.com. Videos must be received no later than 11:59 pm (ET) on Friday, August 14.
5. We will randomly select a winner from all of the videos submitted and announce the winner at the MC Tech/Ambassador Special Session at Mega Camp (August 19, 9:00-11:00 AM). 

NOTES:

• The winner does not need to be present to win.
• If you deliver the workshop more than once during the contest period, you may submit a video for each workshop for multiple chances to win.

PILOT OF WORKSHOPS

W. Cavin Weber, KWRI staff member and KWU Approved Trainer took the "myKW Profile" and "Master Your KW Mobile App" workshop on the road. During his visit to Bonita Springs, Florida. Cavin piloted the workshop to a room of about 30 attendees. Here are some of the lessons learned from the workshops:

1. Participants LOVE the idea that they leave the workshop with tasks completed.
   
2. Participant appreciate understanding how the task they are completing will help them improve their business.
3. Maximum of 15 to 20 participants is preferable for the workshops.
4. Participants did not complete any of the pre-work prior to class and thus slowed down the workshop portion of the course. Instructor needs to ensure pre-work is completed prior to class.

LISTHUB EXCEPTIONS REPORT REMINDER

One of our Support team's biggest issues continues to be around the fact that listings seem to be missing in KWLS, even in Market Centers that are using the ListHub-enabled KW Connector.

Please ensure your MC Tech Coordinator and/or leadership team is familiar with the ListHub Exceptions Report, available on myKW.kw.com > Reports > Web Statistics. In today's webinar, we'll share a quick reference guide to using this report that you can share with the appropriate staff in your office.

CHANGE TO EMAIL ADDRESS NO LONGER AVAILABLE

As of this Thursday July 30th your @kw.com email address can no longer be changed. Keller Williams Realty is always looking for new and advanced technology to help your business run at the highest level. For many technologies your email address is used as an account identifier.  In order to best apply industry standards and allow future updates and integration's to happen smoother and faster the email address must remain constant moving forward.

Most email change requests can be handled using an alias, which is an alternate name that you can use for your email account. You will be able to setup your account so that email can be viewed and replied to the alias as if it were the main account name.

Instructions on how to create an alias can be found on: http://answers.kw.com/knowledgemanager/questions.php?questionid=2098. Join today's Ambassador webinar to learn more.
