2 Weeks Until Pricing Is Live

You have 2 weeks to help set the price.

Pricing goes live on Monday, March 16th. (I will release more exciting details over the next 2 weeks)

After 5 months of being in an ‘Early-Launch’ phase clientlunchbox is ready to announce pricing.

More on PRICING, and what we think is fair: There will always be a free version of the product with limited space for contacts, but not limited features. We won’t have a 30 day trial where you have to pay at the end. That’s not what we think a friend should do. We will have an ALWAYS FREE version until you need more space for contacts.

All versions including FREE will have the same features. We don’t want to limit your success by charging for extra features. This will allow for agents just starting out to pay for more contact space as their business grows.

Have any questions about ANYTHING at all? Post a blog comment below and I will answer YOU personally.

Group Reminders: Your Questions Answered

Thank YOU so much for the comments on the group follow up feature. This is by far the most feedback I’ve gotten on a new feature overnight. I’m pumped to answer your questions. :-)

Tim says: This is nice. When this product first launched I was worried how much I would actually use it: I’d tried similar products and they never worked for me.

I think this finally sealed the deal.

Dane says: What good are contacts if they just sit idle in your database? Nothing… It’s a waste to add them if you never do anything with em! We were worried about having clients just “sit there” as well … So I’m glad we are on the same page.

Geoff says: I am loving client lunchbox! The only concern I have is sometimes leads get emailed and never show up. I am formatting them right and just wanted to make sure that you are aware of this bug.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Dane says: Geoff, I’m going to follow up with you personally via email and phone to test this together and make sure it works for you.

Steve says: Hey Dane, I like the client lunchbox so far!!! Adam Carroll got me to start using it. I really like the emails and how you can put someones name and number in the reply.

Dane says: Heya Steve! I’m glad Adam hooked you up. If you ever have any ideas to improve on… you know where to find me.

LaZell says: This is what I’ve been waiting for, I’ll check it out and reply

Dane says: I’m glad to be filling a need for you and solving a problem LaZell. It’s my sole source of motivation to build this product. I’ll follow up with you personally to see how your using it this week.

John says: Sounds good - here is an idea to build off of what you got going here…

When I get a new listing (REO) I could send out a text message to all of my contacts (or just a group, I suppose) about the listing - giving them the heads up before it hits the MLS and other agents.

also, can a contact belong to more than one group?

Dane says: John, this is going the direction of what I’d envision as a “Communication” tab in the top main menu. We will be adding this so you can email an entire group. It’s in the plan to be done. As for text messaging, I like the idea! I’m going to mingle on that while we finish the other list of features to be completed.

And yes, a contact can belong to multiple groups.

Freddie says: Now that’s what I’m talking about! Dane, you are the man!

Will it be possible to add a brief note to each group about “why” I will be contacting them?

For example, if I have a group for “farm prospects” can that show up in the email beside their name? Or, a group for “referrals from past clients”, “open house followup”, etc?

Otherwise, receiving a list of 5 or more names in my inbox each morning, I may not recall why I’m supposed to follow up with that person (or group) when I have a database of 500+ contacts, all from different source groups.

Or, maybe we can click on their name in the email as a link to their ClientLunchbox profile. I could click on the name and go straight to their info to know why I’m going to call them?

Dane says: Haha Freddie… No… No… “You da man!” … Now answers to your Q’s: Yes, you can add a note to keep track of why your contacting them. I made a screen shot FROM my email for you to see:

And also: Having a link to click that takes you to their profile page is a great idea. I’ll add that to the planned features list.

Larry says: Dane, You are a Genius! Great feature!

Dane says: (squirms uncomfortable…) Genius is a bit strong… I’d say I have a better ear to listen to what you need (and cut the crap you don’t need) than any tangible “genius” powers :-) … But thank you very much Larry, I’ve enjoyed your blog comments and enthusiasm this entire Early-Launch.

Import your contacts and begin the reminder cycle

To get your database full of your client data, you can import your contacts into Clientlunchbox.

All you need is a Comma Seperated Values (CSV) file of your contact database.

Don’t worry, it’s as easy as sending an email to figure out…

For help exporting your contacts from Outlook or another database, find the help section and search for “Export Contacts CSV”

After you have your CSV file…

Here’s how to do it

And when your finished…

Now with your contacts imported, you can sort them into groups like “past clients” or “referral clients” and setup a group reminder.

Or just make a client feel special by creating an individual birthday reminder.

New: Past clients will now refer you business

The NAR states that ~80% of all transactions are done by referral. Yet only a small % of Realtors stay in touch with past clients to get the referral.

I’ve met countless Realtors who’ve been in business for 3+ years that still don’t know where their next closing is going to come from…

That’s terribly sad.

By the end of your first year your momentum should turn YOU into a referral machine.


*IF* You stay in touch with your past clients

Now YOU can join the elite “insider” group of agents that generate consistent referral business.

  • Referrals are more fun to work with.
  • Referrals don’t question your price because they trust you.

…Here’s how you can do it…

Can you FEEL the Excitement!?

It’s been a couple of months past the launch of Clientlunchbox, and there are 147 active users in the community.

I call it a community because this initial group of 147 “Gets It.”

Together we are a unique membership joined together to stand against one common enemy.

To say “NO!” to frustrating, complicated contact databases…

Would you like to join us? Would you like to be part of a different group that “Gets it” …. a group that is on the cutting edge of SIMPLICITY and EASE of use?

If you do, the team would love to here from you… So please do call and email us if you desire…

We are getting more calls and emails everyday from Realtors and Sales professionals THANKING US for Clientlunchbox!

We are very honored to have this kind of support. And just so you know… Clientlunchbox is just getting started, you ain’t seen nothin yet.

With any luck we will be releasing a couple new features this coming FRIDAY, so stay tuned….
