Real Estate Marketing & Beyond
Chime has just launched a new and advanced software platform as it bids to make its mark in the extremely competitive CRM marketplace for real estate brokers.
Designed specifically for real estate professionals, one of Chime’s biggest strengths is that it integrates what the company calls “social intelligence” in order to provide a new level of insights into who leads are and what they want. Other basic features include tools to launch marketing campaigns, build customer relationships, track leads’ activities and manage teams on the go.
“The real estate industry is not technology-enabled in the way we are accustomed to today, and we are the right team to get it there,” said Matt Murphy, Cofounder of Chime. “At Chime, we have over 100 dedicated people who have experience building consumer software for tens of millions of users and helping SMBs boost sales through social media and search engine marketing. We have worked closely with the most successful, tech-savvy real estate agents to build Chime into a first-class platform that will enable every agent to affordably modernize their business, streamline their operations and reach their full sales potential.”
Lead generation is one of Chime’s biggest advantages. The platform draws on advanced targeting technology and real-time creative optimizations to provide agents with a powerful lead generation systems that was previously unobtainable. Chime acquires these leads through a combination of search engine marketing and social media campaigns, both of which can be integrated into the platform. Chime also offers behavior analysis tools to enable real estate pros to establish drip mail campaigns based on the personalities and browsing preferences of their leads, thus ensuring a higher response rate. The company claims an extremely low cost-per-lead (CPL) to rival any other platform.
Once new leads have been identified by the platform, it provides an instant alert, displaying the full sales pipeline and offering access to a range of tools to help real estate pros immediately begin establishing a relationship with prospective new clients.
One final nifty feature of Chime is its lead scoring and customized action plans for each lead. Agents can use the lead scoring to help prioritize each lead, while the action plans for each client will send out automatic reminders for each task that needs to be performed at each stage of the lead development.
Ahead of its launch, Chime was tested in a private beta by more than 20 real estate firms in and around the San Francisco Bay Area, including Eric Boyenga of The Boyenga Team at Keller Williams, a Top 100 Realtor team in the US.
“We have found Chime to be instrumental in helping us grow our lead generation and our client conversion for our team,” Boyenga said. “Chime not only offers us customized highly targeted lead generation, but tracks, nurtures, and scores our lead flow helping us boost our conversion rates. Its streamlined, intuitive design has allowed us to bypass the learning curve typically associated with a new CRM.”
Chime is available now, starting at $199 per month for the CRM package and $499 per month for the buyer marketing package.
