Working with her clients to help them find their forever homes also helped Parsons feel at home herself, settling into a career that's become more than simply successful. One of Coldwell Banker Tomlinson's top-producing sales associates, Parsons has established herself as a go-to real estate partner, relishing the opportunity to make lifelong business and personal connections. How does she keep those connections flourishing, though? Even after a transaction is completed?

Simple. She uses every tool available to her — including everything Delta Media Group® has to offer.

Utilizing DeltaNET 6 is part of Parsons' daily routine, starting each day with a quick look at her CRM and client database. By taking advantage of all the tech Delta provides, Parsons has leaned into time-saving automations and taken her engagement to the next level with out-of-the-box marketing that's gotten visible results. Parsons took some time to speak with Real Estate Marketing & Technology, sharing how she uses the DeltaNET and her best tricks for getting the most out of your real estate tech.

What initially drew you to use the DeltaNET as your CRM?

I was [originally] going to go all-in on DeltaNET because it's included [with CB Tomlinson], and I don't have to pay anything. But it has everything that I need. I know lots of CRMs. I like to do research, and every CRM has its flaws; one's not perfect. [And] when I started selling, I knew the value of [DeltaNET] because I trained on that...so I went all in, and I started with my past clients, putting them in there, putting them on the Market Watches, putting them on the monthly market reports. And then, as I started to get more leads, I made it a priority, every Thursday, I updated my database, and I was disciplined about that.

How did you start, and how do you continue to organize all your clients and leads within the DeltaNET?

I probably started with like 30, honestly. It wasn't very big because my past clients, if they sold their house and left, I didn't really have them anymore. So I started... and I think now I have somewhere like 500 or so, just growing it. And, honestly, I'm still getting used to it, like using it daily, and I started by organizing my homepage. Like, what do I want to see first when I log in because that was something that I would log in and I would get distracted. I'd be like, 'Oh, shiny thing. Cool. Let's click on that.' So I made it so that my customer list is the first thing I see when I log in so that I can see who I need to follow up with that day.

What are some of the DeltaNET features that stand out to you? What do you find sparks the most interest and engagement with clients?

All these different coaching programs, they say the same thing, 'You have to have a system, you have to have a program, you have to send a Market Watch.' It's not even an option anymore. All of your clients want to know what their home is worth on a monthly, quarterly, whatever it is basis. You have to automate that. And so, that's a big one because there are, of course, competitors to DMG, but what I love about the DeltaNET is that I don't have to go out and search for all these tools. I just log in, and it's there in one place. I don't have to pay for it [either], and it's automated. So, I don't have to go out and look for all those individual different tools. They're all right there for me.

As a one-stop CRM, how much time does using the DeltaNET open up in your schedule?

What I love about it is you can say, 'Okay, if a lead comes in, it looks like this, do this with it.' And so it automatically happens. There still is, for sure, some human interaction that needs to happen, but if I'm on an appointment or if I can't [work] right that second, at least they're getting a response, and then I can follow up with them later. So, that's what I do like. Like I'm going to do an online lead today, and I'm going to be flying [later]. And I'm like, 'It's fine,' because I know that if I'm in the air, if I'm in that half-hour where I don't have service, they're still going to be followed up with. Otherwise, I might not have placed that ad today. I might wait and then think, 'Oh, what's the perfect day for me to do a lead?' Well, that's not a good business practice, to put your life on hold so you can do a lead form. So it definitely gives me peace of mind that people are being communicated with, but it's not necessarily me having to do it all the time.

Knowing when and how to follow up with clients can sometimes be a challenge. How much does the DeltaNET help with that, and how have you used automation to your advantage on that front?

One thing that I started doing just a couple of weeks ago is to go in and see who's interacted with my website or the emails in the previous week or two, depending on how long it's been. And I see who's active. Oh, they opened that. They clicked on that. They opened their Market Watch; they clicked on it. They wanted to know more. So that person is subliminally saying, 'I want more information.' And so those are the ones that I focus on, talking to those people, communicating with them saying, 'Hey, how's it going? How's your family? What did you think about that Market Watch?' It allows me to see what they're doing and that they are somewhat interested. So I started doing that to start warming up those people, [and] that's how I'm prioritizing who I contact.

With such a focus on technology, particularly over the last two years amid the COVID-19 pandemic, what features in the DeltaNET have proven to be a game-changer for you?
