The Sales Flow is an all-in-one view of all transactions you are working on at any given time. Each Sales Flow zone is a milestone for an individual client’s progress toward a successful transaction. Each zone includes a task list to help you stay on top of the transaction and keep a steady pipeline for your business. These task lists can be customized by adding or removing any task while you're moving through the transaction. They can also be updated for all future transactions within Engage Settings.
The zones reflect how you work as an agent and are not tied to a listing on the MLS and the tasks will be specific to that segment of the lifecycle of a transaction. Marketing will be where most of your contacts will be placed. Tasks include connecting for coffee, subscribing to a touchpoint, or posting to their social media. The Prospects zone is for those people that have raised their hand and indicated an interest in buying or selling. The Actives zone is for those transactions you are actively working on (staging, finding the photographer, going on buyer tours, listing the property on the MLS, etc...). And the Pending zone is for transactions that have a mutually agreed upon buyer/seller contract and a known close date.
In this article, we're looking at how to access and manage these tasks for all new transactions in Engage Settings.
