New Releases:

Powerline™ User Guides for Real Estate and Originators

Updated Powerline™ User Guide for Real Estate and Originators are now available. The new guide includes complete instructions for all the recent upgrades to the web portal. Since virtually all of the Powerline™ features can be accomplished by either the web portal or the telephone, the guide is separated into two parts: web or phone instruction. Those two parts are also offered in two versions: a simple ten-minute tutorial and a complete instructional guide.

The purpose is to enable our subscribers to quickly use the system to best serve their needs. For example if your interest is to simply want to learn how to add marketing fulfillment information via SMS/Text (as an alternative to the fax-on-demand) this can be accomplished in two simple steps. For users that are interested in exploring how to attach audio recordings over the web or record directly into your browser, this is detailed in the comprehensive guide.

The Business Building section has been completely upgraded and contains industry specific templates for maximizing the profitability of your Powerline™ system. For over fifteen years, Arch has attended seminars, workshops, and trade shows featuring the best coaches and top-producing agents. These business building modules reflect those best use practices. There are modules on:

• Templates For Building Responsive Picture Ads

• Profiting From For Sale By Owners

• Winning Expired Listings

• How To Write Direct Response Ads That Make You Money

• Most Effective Ad Placement and Why Ads Fail

• Cultivating New Business Using Drip Campaigns

• Follow-Up Scripts That Convert Prospects To Clients

• Upgraded Ultimate Listing Presentation, Price Reduction Meeting and more…

Email or call Customer Service for a full pdf version of the new guide or you may request a hardcopy for $25 (includes UPS shipping and cost to print manual).

New Call Detail Column - Do Not Call Indicator...
You may have noticed that there is a new column available on your Powerline reports - a Do Not Call field. This new column indicates whether the phone number of the caller is listed in any of the Do Not Call (DNC) lists that Arch has access to. These lists include the National DNC, many State DNC and the Direct Marketing Association’s DNC list. We provide this information as a convenience; customers needing to rely on access to the National do not call list for critical compliance should consider acquiring the list independently.
