What kind of marketing tools are available in SalesPartner? First let's import and analyse 36 months worth of residential sales data from your farming area. In Gallery, open Tools > Show on Map to visualize the sales. Notes: Initial Location processing can take several minutes depending on the size of the data set. As a rough guideline you should aim to select at least 500 sale records for a large suburb. You'll often see patterns where sales occur more frequently in certain streets and areas. Your local market knowledge can shed insight into reasons why. Clustered sales may occur in close proximity. In some cases vendor motivation may be boosted when a nearby sale achieves a result above expectations. You can enable Satellite mode to help identify local amenities. Look for patterns of intense activity around high visibility areas such as bus routes. Try applying a Gallery column filter like: Days on Market = less than 30, to identify sought after pockets with above average turnover. Takeaways: - Use market insights to help define your target area and improve the ROI for your prospecting efforts. Instead of targeting a large area, create a defined list of streets where sales occur more frequently. - Where you detect patterns, increase your profile in these areas and look for emerging hot spots when a recent sale achieves a record result (bidders at auction, tenders, website views). - Check local listings for obvious potential listings such as private sales, expiring listings, withdrawn listings, vacant investment properties.
I'm downloading listings and want to know when they expire, can SalesPartner tell me which listings are 90 days old? In SalesPartner Reports you could use an expression to calculate a listing's theoretical expiry date by adding 90 days to the listed date. CALCDATE(Listings.ListDate, 90, 0, 0) Alternatively you could replace a standard Listings.ExpiryDate field with this argument to show the calculated expiry date only when an expiry date is not found. In this example the calculated date is tagged with an asterisk so you can reference the behavior in your report footnotes. IF(Listings.ExpiryDate <> '', Listings.ExpiryDate, CALCDATE(Listings.ListDate, 90, 0, 0) + '*')
How to set up online vendor reporting using VendorOnlineVendorOnline can speed up your vendor reporting. Listing activity is automatically loaded on the vendor's activity webpage. Instead of preparing each vendor's report individually, you can email group notifications each week. In this lab we'll install VendorOnline on Windows Server 2016 (Preview) in Microsoft Azure. The VendorOnline service can also run on Windows 10. The vendor online service is installed on a server with configured endpoint.

The Vendor Online registration allows you to allocate Vendor Passwords for your listings in Listing Entry > Vendor tab > New Password. You must allocate vendor passwords to enable online access. Router / endpoint configurationConfigure your Router / Network Security settings to allow TCP Port: 8889 In this example we've configured a Network inbound security rule for a Microsoft Azure virtual machine. If your Windows Server is on premise, you can configure your router NAT / Port Forwarding rules - a static IP is strongly recommended. Once you've configured your rule, in PowerShell use Test-NetConnection [address] -port 8889 to remotely test connectivity using either your public IP address or a DNS address (if available). Test-NetConnection <URL> -port 8889 Install SynchroServerOn your Windows Server install Vendoronlinesetup from the SalesPartner Downloads webpage. Launch VendorOnline Server.

A common cause behind Stack Overflow errors which occur in OfficePartner is where a user has maximized a screen that does not support maximization, and these settings have been written to the user's rezyOffice.screen.ini file in AppData. To correct the INI file, open Explorer > %AppData% > rezyOffice.screen.ini using Notepad (or open rezy.screen.ini for SalesPartner, however SalesPartner is much more resilient to these scenarios). In this particular case, the Trust Account Bank ReconciliationIsMax screen had been inadvertently saved as =1 (maximized). To resolve the error, we changed this entry to Trust Account Bank ReconciliationIsMax=0.
