What to Look for in Your Real Estate CRM
Have you ever wondered what goes into creating top real estate CRM software?
Well, we can tell you what is not going into it — one of the powerful myths in the world of product development is that great products are the result of doing what your customer asks.
This isn’t necessarily true.
For example, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos said in a shareholder letter, “No customer ever asked Amazon to create the Prime membership program.” Yet, Amazon Prime is one of the most valued and successful consumer products the company offers.
Henry Ford, one of the world’s most renowned innovators, is famously credited with saying, “If I asked customers what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” Today, Ford Motor Company is still one of the most successful automakers in the world.
In these examples, customers did not tell these innovators what they wanted — these leaders engaged with customers and discerned their pain points to understand what needed solving. Then, they rolled up their sleeves to figure out just how to fix it!
When you invest in a real estate CRM, you want one that was crafted through heavy consumer engagement — the “secret sauce” of any exceptional product.
Customers may not know exactly what technology is available to them, but they know better than anyone the problems they face on a day-to-day basis. The best development teams listen to these problems, diagnose the issue and prescribe solutions in the form of new, innovative products that are inspired by customers.
We take this to heart at Buffini & Company. That’s why our real estate CRM, Referral Maker® CRM, is created based on customer feedback and engagement.
Referral Maker® CRM wasn’t made just to check a box under the tech tools column. We introduced this real estate CRM to equip our clients with the fundamentals of our proven Working by Referral system so they may find success more efficiently and effectively.
