I went to a Top Producer 8i QuickStart seminar this past Friday. Even though I knew everything that was presented in this program, I have to re-certify for Top Producer 8i. I thought it would give me a quick review of what Top Producer 8i has to offer.  Especially as they just did an upgrade to their system. There were more than 30 people in the room.

The interesting aspect to this seminar was the number of real estate agents that have subscribed to Top Producer, some for over 15 years, that were not utilizing Top Producer 8i to its potential. Most realtors gave the impression they barely used this program at all. One Realtor® told me she had subscribed to Top Producer for 15 years and still did not know how to use it.

Another Realtor® had just started in the business 3 months earlier and had subscribed to Top Producer and wanted to learn how to use it. I found it very interesting that she left at the one hour break.  I wondered to myself, how much will she be using this fantastic database?

At the end of the program Ben Bock, the Top Producer presenter, gave a 30 minute overview of Market Snapshot. Although I have heard this overview before, I wanted to listen again as no real estate agent I have worked with who has Top Producer has subscribed to Market Snapshop.

Ben started this part of the program by asking the real estate agents what was the most asked question when they spoke with people. Everyone concurred, “What’s the Market like?” This is where Market Snapshot will help every real estate agent.
