Lead status is determined by the following criteria: opens, offers, percent of personal contacts and your ZipNotify percentage. A, B or C flow.

1) The average time it takes after a client who has been assigned to you in the last 30 days has had a phone call logged in ZAP or has received a personal email from you. 2) This is the percentage of clients who have logged in during the last 60 days who have had a phone call logged in ZAP or have received a personal email from you. 3) The percentage of Rising Stars an agent has that have had a phone call logged in ZAP or have received a personal email from you. If the agent does not currently have any Rising Stars, this section will display “N/A.”

4) The number of clients for the month who have a visit(s) in the system with a status of “Completed – Made Offer” or “Completed – Still Searching.” Note: This only reflects the number of clients who have completed visits, not the total number of homes shown.

5) This is your rank within your district of clients who have closed in the last 3 months divided by the number of leads you have received in the last 3 months. 4 by the number of months worked during the last 12 months. 6) Closed Productivity Ratio = the number of transactions closed in the past 12 months divided The first month of employment is excused from this calculation. Partnerships are taken into account as well.

This tab contains information & resources:

ZAP Homepage Overview The “Home” tab will take you back to the ZAP Homepage.

The “Directory” lists contact information for all ZipRealty employees.

Key word search option too… Human Resources (HR) ZAP Information Email/Phone Templates

The “Calendar” automatically populates visits & listing appointments that you schedule in ZAP. You can also add items manually. You can print this daily…

Your “Goal Board” totals only update at midnight (PST).

Think of this as your “Hot List” of ready, willing & able clients. You control this list…Maintain 15-25 in this category.

This is a list of your most active clients on the ZipRealty website. The database maintains this list automatically – Clients receive stars for activities they perform. This list will show you clients you have not contacted within the last 7 days or longer. The “Client Pool” categorizes EVERYONE assigned to you…

Advanced Search pulls from this data.

NOTE: The tabs at the top of the ZAP Homepage are viewable at all times. Most are short cuts to Homepage categories.

An “Offer” is a record in ZAP of a client who wants to write an offer on a property with you. You still need to prepare a contract. * Requires a Status Change A“Visit” request

=

a showing request from a client.

Clients who want to see a property will often request to see a home from the ZipRealty website Contact the client to let them know you received their request and then verify property availability. * Requires a Status Change “Listing Appointments” Those requested by a client or entered by the agent show up here * Requires a Status Change “Priority Contacts” These are marked by Client Services or by a client referral. Contact immediately * Requires a Status Change “New Registrants” These are new leads assigned to you Clients receive an automatic “Welcome” email from ZipRealty. Agents must follow up with a phone call if a number is provided. If no phone #, a personal email must be sent the next day.

This is controlled by you. When you set a “Next Contact” date, the client will appear on this list on that date.

Once a listing or closing is entered in ZAP, a list of tasks and documents required for the transaction are entered with due dates into ZAP by your District Coordinator.

* You must reset the date each time. 6

Setting up ZipNotify for clients Saving searches enables ZipNotify and provides clients with listings as soon as they come on the market. This increases the opportunity for agents to interact with clients and arrange for showings. Remember: Although the ZipNotify listings are sent automatically, they appear to be coming from you ...if a client ever thanks you for sending them this information, don’t act surprised! The more clients who have ZipNotify enabled, the more visit requests you will get! Find the client(s) for whom you want to set up ZipNotify. From “Advanced Search,” you can find customers who do not have ZipNotify and also did not say “No” to having it enabled. Click on the client’s name.

1) Click “Sign in as Client”

1

Clicking “Sign in as Client” always opens a SEPARATE window. (You will not lose your ZAP session once you close it). 38

2) Select “Search For Homes”

Note: The system knows you are signed in “as your client.”

2

3. Enter the search criteria (i.e. city(ies), price range, etc.) , then click “Search.”

You can search by any of the tabs displayed.

3

Enter the criteria (i.e. city, price, etc.)

4 Type in a search name (Oakland $325-450k) and click “Search and Save” to save the search for the client.

ZipNotify is enabled automatically by default when a search is saved as the ZipNotify box is pre-checked. 39

* Follow-up with the client after setting up ZipNotify. A best practice when creating saved searches and setting up ZipNotify is to contact the client either by phone (set up the search while you are talking to them or shortly after you have set it up) or through email if you cannot establish phone contact to let them know you will soon be sending them new listings as they become available on the market by email and that they or you may alter the criteria set at any time. REMEMBER: The “Homes & Searches” Tab is a GOLD MINE!!! Not only does it list the homes that a client saves or prints, but it also archives the email matches that are sent by ZipNotify. You can follow-up with the client and ask them what they thought about the listing(s) *you* sent them on ____ Street/Ave/Blvd… NOTE: You will NOT want ZipNotify enabled/set-up for a client in the following situations: •

A buyer has made an offer on a property

(You want to avoid “Buyer’s Remorse.” This may happen if a buyer continues to see new homes that they might like better.) When a new listing becomes available, the client will receive an email which will appear to come from you stating the following in the subject line: ”A new listing(s) matching your search criteria for Tempe $300-450k has come on the market…” To modify, delete or turn off ZipNotify, a client can click the “Saved Searches/ZipNotify” tab

40

To edit or delete a saved search, click the “Remove” link or “Edit” link next to the search name.

To turn off ZipNotify, click the “Disabled” bubble next to the search. Clients who wish to turn this tool off generally call Client Services or click the “Unsubscribe” link.

You can then proceed to the next client from your last Advanced Search results list by clicking the “Search Results” link to go back to the last list you were working on….

41

If you wish, you can be copied on any new listings that your client is being sent via ZipNotify. This way, you will be aware of what the system sent your client on your behalf as soon as the client receives the listing(s). It is recommended that you select this option for all of your “Top Clients.”

Simply check the box next to the saved search criteria and you will also receive the newest listings available on the MLS as soon as your client does. Follow up with your client shortly after to get their feedback on the listing they just received from “you!”

42

Completing/Updating Visit Requests The “Visits” section in ZAP provides a list of properties clients have requested to view. You will also receive an email notifying you of new visit requests from clients.

From your homepage, click on the “Visits” link. The number of visits displayed on the homepage only corresponds to the number of visits that have status of “New” and/or “Client Contacted/Schedule Pending.” NOTE: All other visits (i.e. with at status of “Scheduled,” “Completed/Still Searching,” or “Cancelled”) will only be displayed after clicking on the “Visits” link and then selecting to view a particular status from the drop-down menu.

43

This drop-down menu only displays one type of visit request at a time…this is currently displaying “New” & “Client Contacted” requests only.

5

2 1 3

It is important to update the visit request as soon as possible: 1. Change the status from “New” to the appropriate status within 24 hours (i.e. “Client Contacted/Schedule Pending” or “Scheduled”)

2. Set the appointment date (if applicable) 3. Set the appointment time (if applicable) 4. Enter notes to yourself – Optional (…i.e. “Meet client at property.”) 5. Click “Save Changes” (Bottom / right hand corner of the request to update the visit…) You will also see the address of the property requested and the following information: -

Client name & phone number (if provided) Date request was made Client notes (if any) Listing agent name & phone number MLS number 44

NOTE:

If the property is outside of your service area, click the “Move to Manager” link so your Manager can reassign them to another ZipRealty agent. Make a note for your District Director noting where the client is looking and email or phone the client to let them know that you have received their request but will arrange to have them reassigned to a more local ZipAgent. This can be done by clicking on the client name & then selecting “Move to Manager.”

Updating the visits once the properties have been shown:

Once you have completed the visit, go to the homepage & click the “Visits” link: ¾ Select the most recent status of the visit request (i.e. “Scheduled”) ¾ Change/Update the status as appropriate (i.e. from “Scheduled” to “Completed - Still Searching”) ¾ Save changes by clicking “Save this Page”

45

Entering Visits Manually in ZAP

for Clients

Entering client visits is essential for tracking the progress of a client’s home search and keeping a historical account of client and agent activity. Many visit requests will be made verbally or by email. You will want to enter these into ZAP manually to keep a record of these showings. First, find the client you wish to enter an offer for by clicking: “My Top Clients,” “Rising Stars,” “Today’s Contacts” or “Advanced Search” Once you have found the client, click on the client’s name…Then click “Sign

in as client.”

Remember –

Next click “Search for Homes” to find the property.

46

This will open a separate window which you can close once you are through generating the visit request.

Find the property by using the “Address”

or

“MLS Number” tab.

Guide to Referral Partner Clients ZipRealty receives leads from a number of partners who collect information about the client and pass the client to us as a lead, rather than simply directing the client to our site. These clients are different from those who register on our site in several ways. This guide is intended to provide tips for meeting the expectations of these customers. All of these clients are made Priority Contacts. The Priority Contact note says: “Priority Contact: Lead referral from partner”

How Referral Partner Clients are different from those registering on ZipRealty.com: •

The client may not have heard of ZipRealty or been to our website.

•

We may be in competition with agents at other companies for the lead.

•

ZipRealty creates their login and password, which is automatically emailed to the client. (Agents should mention that the client should have received a login & password via email).

•

The client may not have logged in yet, so their Homes/Searches section may be empty.

•

We often have additional information on these clients, such as their timeframe, their home address, and their pre-approval status. These notes are in a journal entry titled “Additional Client Information” in the “All Communications” Tab in ZAP.
