KW Websites: Tips to Help You Support Your Agents

Happy Friday, KW Technology Community members! Here's a look at just a few items that will be discussed on today's KW Technology Community webinar.

 KW WEBSITES: TIPS TO HELP YOU SUPPORT YOUR AGENTS
Please join today's KW Technology Community webinar with guest speaker Paul Polansky from KWRI's Support team. Paul will provide answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding KW Websites, including:
  • What happens if I delete my site?
  • How long will a new agent have to wait for their website?
  • How do KW Luxury, Farm & Ranch, and Commercial agents get their branded specialty sites?
  • Do I have to pay for IDX?
We look forward to having you on the webinar this afternoon!

 HELP IMPLEMENT CGI IN YOUR MARKET CENTER
The signs of a market shift are starting to show. Now is the time to help your agents shift-proof their businesses by getting them engaged in the Career Growth Initiative (CGI). To date, more than 20,000 associates have entered their goals into the CGI Calculator and we want to ensure that every agent has this same opportunity. 

 Every Monday at 1 PM (Central Time), John Davis will host a company-wide call to share the power of the CGI system and tools. Your leadership team can find the call information as well as a CGI Implementation Plan on the CGI page on KWUConnect.

 Additionally, we understand that many of you experienced sound issues throughout this past Monday's myCGI Kickoff call. We certainly regret any inconvenience this caused you and want to ensure your associates have the opportunity to hear John's message. The call was re-recorded and can be found on KWUConnect.

 Thank you for your continued commitment to helping your agents fund the business and life they envision. 

 UPSTREAM: AN ENVIRONMENT THAT SUPPORTS INNOVATION
Chris Heller, CEO of Keller Williams, says, “The real estate industry is changing because it needs to change. The way we search for properties is broken. And part of the reason is because the way our industry shares data is broken.” 

 The way that listing information currently flows today is chaotic, confusing, and often leads to the distribution of inaccurate information. 

 In an effort to streamline the management of listing data, a coalition of brokerages, networks and national franchisors - including Keller Williams - united to create a centralized data repository of listing information—known as Upstream. This technology platform is being built so associates can enter, store, modify, and distribute listing data. Upstream is not a consumer-facing website - it will not compete with syndication sites.

 Ultimately, Upstream will offer agents a simplified data entry process and control over the distribution of their listings. This will ensure not only that accurate listing information is distributed, but also that each agent can decide when and where to send their listings. It offers protection to agents, brokers and consumers and it is why Keller Williams has been working with Upstream from the very beginning.

 To learn more about Upstream and how you can get involved, visit the Industry Development page on myKW.kw.com.
