Possible topics for next year

[Discover Davis Homes]

Just thinking on the plane back home about some potential topics for next year...

1. A best practices discussion on lead management. How best to convert an IDX registration to a closed sale. Maybe a pannel discussion with people sharing what they feel comfortable with. What has worked, what hasn't.

2. Essential HTML and snippet building for REALTORS. I know that a lot of people have web programming and web design background, but many of us do not. Maybe to mix things up there can be a discussion beyond basic concepts and really come up with some cool features and snippets that would be interesting for the advanced user. I'm also not thinking of serious coding or design elements, just basic stuff that the average REW agent can create that may get them immediate results

Hey Carolyn!

a) Good to finally meet you at the Conference!
b) I think that those are excellent subjects. Outside of SEO, I think that lead conversion was the hottest "hallway topic" out there. Most everyone seemed to have their own "special" way of doing it...I know that I got a LOT out of some of the side discussion that I had with folks about that. Very profitable IMO.

Best;

I agree. Lead follow up is key! We are fine tuning some of our lead follow up systems. Once we get things up and running we would be happy to share what we are doing.

Howdy Everyone,

Lead follow up and the resulting conversion is most definitely a good thing.

I think the panel idea would be great. I plan on investing some quality time on fine tuning our lead follow up systems too.

It was really great to meet everyone at the conference.

I can't wait for next year's event!!

Mike I think that is a great list. Maybe a few more of those ideas should be censored if you want to work on your world web domination but seriously, that type of information would be really valuable. The more we can analyze, the more possible money we can spend with REW (at least most of us) to make the systems work.

@Eric - did you make it safely back home? If I haven't mentioned it already I really enjoyed meeting, talking & listening to you

[Eric Blackwell]

Absolutely...still digging out (smile)...was just getting ready to send you some "stuff".!

It was a pleasure meeting you and having a chance to get to know you better, Jim.
