KW Technology Ambassador Update | December 23, 2014

Greetings, KW Technology Ambassadors!

Thanks to all of you who participated in the KW Technology Ambassador webinar last Friday, December 19. If you’d like to view the webinar slides, they’re available in our Google Drive folder. Please note, you will need to be logged into Google with your @kw.com account in order to open the slides.

Here is a quick recap from last week’s webinar and some updates:

• eEdge Updates: Several fixes and feature enhancements were released to improve your experience with eEdge myContacts and myMarketing, including:
• “Main Text” content has been added to the Home Page of the 2014 website theme.
• You can now crop listing photos in the myMarketing materials editor.
• The Send Listings quick action for your eEdge contacts is functioning properly; it will now link to a selected properties page on your eEdge website. 
• You’ll only receive alerts for new email messages sent to your @kwrealty.com address when those emails come from contacts in your eEdge database.

• KWRI Tech Training in 2015: 

• On-Demand Training: Our team will dedicate more resources to updating our technology training video library, and you’ll see technology training more tightly integrated into courses such as Ignite and the First 100 Day plans that are part of KWU’s Action Training course.  This is in line with our goal to provide you – our clients – with the content and roadmaps you need to deliver comprehensive, localized training in your Market Center.

• Live Training: Beginning in January 2015, our live webinars will follow this schedule (all times are in Central Time):
• Monday, 2:00-2:30 PM: Intended for agents who are onboarding with KW Technology 
• Wednesday:
• 1:30-2:00 PM: KW Video Basic Training
• 2:30-3:00 PM: KW Video Advanced Training
• Friday, 2:00-2:30 PM: KW Technology Ambassador webinar
• As needed: Webinars to support new product releases or enhancements.

• MC Tech Coordinator Monthly Calls: If you have an MC Tech Coordinator role, you will be receiving an invitation to register (or re-register) for the monthly MC Tech calls, scheduled for the first Tuesday of each month at 11:00 AM Central Time. If you do not receive your invitation by December 31, please send an email to mctech@kw.com.

Thank you for all that you do in helping our associates drive productivity through KW Technology!

Happy Holidays to you and yours,

Brenda Harralson and W. Cavin Weber

KW Technology Ambassador Update | December 11, 2014

Greetings, KW Technology Ambassadors!

Thanks to all of you who participated in the KW Technology Ambassador webinar last Friday, December 5. If you’d like to view the webinar slides, they’re available here. Please note, you will need to be logged into Google with your @kw.com account in order to open the slides.

On the webinar, we discussed the following topics:

One Inbox for eEdge Email 

As of December 4, you no longer have to go to two different places to see email from contacts and non-contacts sent to you at your @kwrealty.com address. All of your eEdge email - including Webmail - is now accessible through your eEdge Inbox. View the slides from last Friday's Ambassador webinar for more information.

With last week's eEdge email upgrade came an additional change. Comments in your eEdge contact records are no longer individual records, but merged together in a single text box, giving you complete control to add, edit and delete comments. However, the automatic time and date stamps were not included in this transition. Due to high demand from agents, those historical time and date stamps will be added back in the very near future. Thank you for your feedback, and please continue to provide it.

Three L Blueprints 

KellerINK, the publishing arm of Keller Williams Realty, is preparing to write the second edition of The Millionaire Real Estate Agent. They've been interviewing top agents and coaches to find out how Keller Williams Realty's foundational models have changed. Guess what they discovered? The Three L Model — that is, leads, listings, and leverage — is still as applicable as ever for illustrating the core business needs of agents.

The KellerINK team broke down their research findings into a collection of blueprints that highlight each of the Three Ls. Each blueprint outlines common challenges, solutions and opportunities to important issues facing our industry and market.   While this is not a technology book per se, it certainly has applications for the way agents use technology, especially the blueprint dedicated entirely to Internet lead generation. At just under 50 pages, it's a quick and inspiring read! Download the ebook now!

Upcoming Webinars

Just a reminder that we will not have an Technology Ambassador webinar this Friday, December 12. We will resume with the December 19 webinar. Register now, if you haven't already!

Have a great day!
