KWConnect Platform Upgrade

Happy Friday, Ambassadors, and welcome to October! Here is your weekly update.

KWCONNECT PLATFORM UPGRADE

Please complete this brief survey:
www.surveymonkey.com/r/KWConnectUpgrade

Coming in early 2016, KWConnect is getting a major upgrade! You can look forward to an interface with responsive design and a cleaner, more modern look. It will support new technologies, including HTML5 and you'll notice an improvement in the quality of the videos. New social sharing buttons will make it easy to share the videos with others.

All KW Technology Ambassadors will be invited to participate in an early adopter rollout of the new platform later this year; be on the lookout for more details on that.

In the meantime, we ask for your help in gathering information to help us in the decision-making phase. Please take a moment to complete this very brief survey so we can better understand the ways in which our associates access KWConnect.

Join today's Ambassador webinar to see a prototype of the new platform.


HOMEKEEPR AND YOUR KW MOBILE APP

Earlier this week, the HomeKeepr app icon was added to all KW agent mobile apps. HomeKeepr is a consumer app that creates a fully customized home maintenance calendar, and it's agent-branded.

If you're not seeing the HomeKeepr icon in your app, update your app to the latest version. Encourage your clients to do the same so that they can create their own customized HomeKeepr account.

Most importantly, if you haven't done so already, take these three steps to make sure your clients see your branded HomeKeepr app when they start to use it:

1. Claim and create your FREE profile. Don't forget to include your KW mobile app code, which can be found here, in Step 3.
2. Upload your favorite local home service professionals.
3. Make sure your clients AND recommended vendors have downloaded your app.

View the recording of last week's Ambassador webinar to see these steps in action, or view the webinar slides.
