End of the Year Exporting

As 2009 approaches, many of the fka Diamond agents have asked me about moving contacts into the Hside email program.

If you have not already done so - now is the time to transition :) This can be accomplished in the following way ...

For the Export:
If your contacts are in AgentAchieve, login and click on "Contacts"
On the left menu, click on "Import/Export" (all the way at the bottom)
Click the radio button that says "Export ..."
Click "Next"
By default, all of your contacts are selected here, click, "Show selected group members" to view
Click "Next"
Click "Export All Fields"
Click "Export Contacts!"
A pop-up will appear, click "Save" and remember where you saved the file!

Important Note -- this will not remove your contacts from AgentAchieve, it will only copy them



Now for the import ...

Login to your Hearthside Email
Click on "Contacts"
Click the "import/export" button at the top middle of the page
Click "Browse" and select your contact file that we just exported from AA
Click "Open" and then "Continue"

Here is the super fun part - matching the fields! Use the drop-down arrow in the "Corresponding Field Name" category to select the correct match to each field in the "Original" category.

For example: first name --> first name

Once you have completed the matching game, click "Ok"

Email me with questions!!!

Happy New Year!

The Quadrennial Ethics Deadline is Fast Approaching!

If you still need your Quadrennial Ethics Requirement, have no fear, you still have options!

Take the course ONLINE through the National Association of Realtors: http://www.realtor.org/mempolweb.nsf/pages/coetraining

The online course takes about 2.5 hours to complete. The course is broken down into byte size chunks with short (and super helpful) quizzes after each section. Once you complete the 25 question test at the end of the course, you're done! The short quizzes are for study purposes only and do not count toward your final score at the end.

Check your Associations for classroom options - see the list below. Most of the Ethics classes are free (and non-CE) at this point in the game. You must have this course complete before December 31st, 2008!!!

Associations/Local Boards
Bucks County
Berks County
Lehigh County
Montgomery County
Philadelphia County
Suburban West

Cyber Monday and Twitter Search

Hello All & Happy Monday!!! This is an especially GREAT Monday because it's CYBER MONDAY!!! Woohoo :)

In case you are unaware, Cyber Monday is that wonderful day of the year where the retailers put everything ONLINE - on SALE! So, if you don't have time to shop the Black Friday sales, or just didn't want to get up at the crack of dawn - this is the day for you.

And what a great day to check out Twitter Search (maybe a few times even) for tips, info and advice on the best deals and steals. What is Twitter Search? It's a great way to get the BEST out of Twitter without making the commitment to actually join Twitter. Twitter Search will give you the skinny on just about anything tweeple are twitting about ...

So, checking Twitter Search for Cyber Monday deals at - Search.Twitter.com and type in "Cyber Monday" or anything else you are interested in :)

Happy Shopping!
