Ever sit down to budget a CRM for your team and feel like every vendor’s talking in riddles? Same here. A broker friend in Tampa called me last quarter and basically asked, “What am I actually gonna pay for Boomtown — not the demo number, the real one?” So I pulled my notes. Three team […]
A buddy of mine in Tampa torched $3,400 on Zillow Premier Agent last month. Twenty-eight days. Zero closings. Brutal. The week before, a team lead I coach in Charlotte put $2,900 into the exact same program and walked away with two buyer-side contracts — a combined $19,800 in GCI.
