Question: When I launch and open Listing Entry, can I change which listing appears by default? Answer: Yes sort of. Open More, Settings, System File, Other tab. In the Listing Prefix field you can set what the default listing's initial letter code is. This is usually two or three letters max. SalesPartner will then numerically locate the latest listing and display that by default in Listing Entry on launch. The default order works best when your listings have consistent prefixes and follow a sequential code format. For example if the oldest listing reference is ZGD0001 and the newest listing is ZGD9999, then SalesPartner will always display the latest listing when opened.
In this overview we're walking through uploading contacts in bulk to use Find people you know / Discover contacts on Twitter (not a campaign audience). We'll be working with <12,000 contacts per batch because this is the limit for Gmail. There are several steps for this process which is a bit more fiddly than just uploading a CSV for advertising. Tip: Use a virtual machine or a separate Windows user account so that your production contacts don't get mixed up along the way (when converting the CSV spreadsheet to VCF vCards). Step 1. Export contacts as CSV from SalesPartner In SalesPartner we've enabled the must have mobile filter so that we only export contacts who have a cellphone number. Mobile phone is the primary field used by Twitter to match profiles. Open Contacts, Other Selections, Must have mobile, select contacts, click Tools, Export contacts. For this task we're going to use these four contact fields:
2. Import contacts into Windows In this step we'll convert the CSV spreadsheet of contacts into vCards (Virtual Contact File/VCF). This extra process is necessary for getting the mobile numbers into Gmail because Gmail doesn't support uploading phone numbers from a CSV file. On your virtual machine open C:\users\<username>\contacts Click Import, CSV, open your CSV file then Map each of the four columns and click Finish. For our example it took several hours to import the contacts. 3. Export contacts as VCF The contact files now need to be exported into vCards / .vcf files. Select all contacts, click Export, select vCards click Export. Make New Folder C:\contactfolder then select it as the destination for your exported contact vCards. 4. Merge contacts into a single vCard file Gmail only allows you to import one vCard at a time, but you can merge up to 12,000 contacts into a single VCF file using command prompt. We've created a target contact for the merged contacts named AAACOMBINED.VCF (so that it appears at the top of the list). Run CMD as administrator. These commands will merge your VCF files into a single file. CD\ Note the large file size of the merged VCF file. 5. Import VCF to Gmail Log into Gmail and open Contacts, click Import contacts. Select the merged contacts AAACOMBINED.vcf file. Wait a few minutes for the import to complete. My CSV contained many empty cells and duplicate details, but at this stage I'm not sure why Gmail has rejected exactly 4,800 contacts. That seems like an oddly specific number so in future we could try importing batches of 5,000. 6. Connecting Gmail to your Twitter for discovering contacts The next steps need to be completed on your smartphone. The Gmail account must be setup on your mobile, and the Twitter app must be installed. Open Twitter, Profile, Settings and Privacy, Privacy and Safety, Discoverability and contacts. Tick Sync address book contacts. Note that the contact sync is processed gradually so that follow suggestions trickle through as you use the app.
The latest development build includes a share tool for uploading listings to social media. In this concept SalesPartner automates the tasks below into a ready-to-publish Tweet:
In creating this template we're considering how agents can stand out from the crowd. Other platforms like Google and Facebook are already saturated with property advertising content, which has driven up the cost of online marketing. NZ Twitter is relatively underused for real estate marketing and has powerful micro targeting options. And although Twitter's audience is smaller (estimated 330,000 NZ users), the age demographic is more evenly spread when compared to Instagram or Facebook whose audiences skew towards younger users. The next step will be to run a proof of concept, and walk through publishing a boosted tweet. We'll be looking to gain insights into what value, engagement, and exposure can be obtained through a granular campaign.

In Listing Entry > Report > Flyer tab, try using the Open Home Questionnaire as a single page visitor survey form. Photo CMAs for open home visitors CMAs for buyers help to cultivate realistic price expectations, and can enhance a purchaser's perception of value.
