“A penny saved is a penny earned.” – Benjamin Franklin. That statement was made in the 1700s. In our era, a penny is worth pretty much nothing (sorry Lincoln.) Lets face it, even a dollar is a joke. What can you actually buy for $1 besides all of the value meals at fast food restaurants? I’m not knocking the $1 value fries from BK but who eats BK everyday for every meal? No one that I know or you either I hope because I can bet you that person won’t be around that much longer.
Wouldn’t you like to have a little bit more extra cash to put in your savings? My favorite Agent BizzUp Features when combined together can help because they are tools that are included in your Agent BizzUp Account. These cool features are services that you are paying other companies for but are free with your Agent BizzUp Account. After doing some research, I’m about to show you on average how much money you are saving per month by obtaining an Agent BizzUp Account.
Business Class Email
Every time I notice one of our customers are not taking advantage of the free business class email that is included with their account, it irks me. Why wouldn’t you want to use something that is better quality and free? Our business class email server is the email server to 40% of all the Fortune 100 Companies. Seldom will you have a problem with our server, plus… need I say it again? Its Free! Microsoft Exchange charges $10/month for this service. Since a business class email is included with your Agent BizzUp Account, you just saved an average of $10/month.
Syndication
The average agent has to manually insert their listings to sites that feature their listings. If you have had to perform this task, then you know how tedious it can be. You have to upload all of the photos (which takes forever) and insert all of the property details, etc. If you want to put an end to that tedious work, you have two choices. Choice number one is to hire a syndication company that will be glad to do your work for you. Choice number two is to get an Agent BizzUp Account where automatic syndication is one of our complimentary features. With the click of a button, your listing is automatically syndicated to all of our syndication partners which include trulia.com, oodle.com, zillow.com, foreclosure.com, vast.com, hotpads.com and craigslist.org. I searched for syndication companies and many charge a whopping $11.99/month. So far you saved $10/month with the business class email and now you are saving another $11.99/month with the syndication feature.
Email Campaign
I love how our email campaign templates are user friendly. Just choose which template you like and Bara Bing Bara Boom! All of your contacts will receive the campaign in no time. Bulk email servers charge $15-150 depending on how many contacts you are sending to, every time you use their service. Speaking of campaigns and contacts, I love how you can create contact groups to send campaigns to. I’m not going to send a client looking for a rental, a property for sale or a client with a $200,000 budget, a 1M home. Having this option enables you to email only those contacts in that particular group looking for a specific property type. Plus Agent BizzUp’s Permission Based Email Marketing has outstanding reputation with the ISPs. That means every contact in that group will receive your campaign. Lets say you used a third party bulk email service at the minimum price ($15) four times this month. That’s $60/month you just saved by not using a bulk email service, plus you saved $10/month with the business class email and $11.99/month with the syndication feature. Woo Hoo!
Webmaster Services
Last but definitely not least, with an Agent BizzUp Account, I am my own webmaster. I can change the look and feel and perform updates whenever I want. One reason I enjoy the option to update my website myself is because updating a website regularly is a factor in Search Engine Ranking. If you update your website on a regular basis, it is likely that web crawlers will have to visit your site more often, which in turn might help your ranking score. I searched for the average price of a webmaster and found it to be Starting at $45/hr. Another cool fact a lot of customers don’t know is if you already have a website built, Agent BizzUp can convert that site into our customizable template for a one time $150 fee. Being my webmaster is the money saving “Egg Mcmuffin” feature of them all. If you use your webmaster on average two hours a week, that’s $360 month you saved by having total control over your website with your Agent BizzUp Account. Plus $60 you saved by not using a bulk email service, $10/month with the business class email and $11.99/month with the syndication feature. That’s $441.99/month and $5,303.88/year you can put into your savings account.
All of these features are services that you would have to hire different companies to accomplish unless if you have an Agent BizzUp Account. If you have an Agent BizzUp Account and you are not utilizing these features, you are limiting your money saving potential. Now sit back and imagine what you would do with $5,303.88? This kind of reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, “Money is not the most important thing in the world. Love is. Fortunately, I love money.” – Jackie Mason
