Your 2011 To Do List

View more presentations from Stefanie Hahn.

What's on YOUR To Do List for 2011?

This is the time of year when I write, record, PowerPoint and prep for the coming year. There is so much to be excited about in 2011 that I can barely contain myself! A few things on my list ...

1. Mobile mobile and more mobile

Office visits will continue to be a priority for me in 2011. I know that you have questions - and sometimes I have the answers! So I will be mobile again in the coming year ... look for the schedule to be posted soon on the company calendar. Along those same lines, I know are you mobile too! I plan to explore and teach as many mobile tools as you can all digest! I am really rooting for you all to get the smart phones I know you put on your holiday wish list.


2. Video-palooza

In 2011, I am planning to record many of my how-to presentations that I usually write out for you. Look for a new video every Friday in your email and posted here!


3. Let's do lunch

In an effort to get my happy smiling face in front of you more often, I invite you to have lunch with me on Mondays. Well, I will be teaching via webinar, but you can watch while you lunch. I am putting together a survey to see what topics you might want to hear about ... you pick em and I will teach em!


4. New Agents - new experience!

I have significantly changed the New Agent Training Program around this year - in both schedule and material. In addition to the training programs, I have a new agent blog launching and New Agent Night Out's on the 2011 calendar for sharing knowledge and networking.


So get excited with me about 2011! We have so much to look forward to together.

More Ways to Go Mobile

We have more ways than ever to go mobile now - through the new iPhone and Android Coldwell Banker applications, plus the mobile site for Coldwell Banker!

Coldwell Banker has released an app for both the iPhone and the Android phone that allows anyone to search for listings or use their CB home value estimator tool right from their mobile phone! The apps for these phones are specific to just the iPhone and Android platforms, but there are other options if you use another type of phone.

The official Coldwell Banker App for the iPhone is available for download in the iTunes app store. http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=325309137&mt=8



If you can access the internet from your mobile phone - no matter what kind it may be ... you can check out: m.coldwellbanker.com. Here you can search for listings, search for an agent or find home values.

No more excuses - get out there and go mobile!!!

Get ColdwellBanker.com on MORE than just your iPhone and BlackBerry!

Hello All & Happy Wednesday!

Coldwell Banker has been promoting recently that you can now get a mobile version of the www.ColdwellBanker.com site on your iPhone and BlackBerry. I LOVE THIS!!!

However, I wish they would mention that you can also get this on ANY internet-enabled phone ... say for example the Palm Centro that Coldwell Banker gave away at their International Business Conference last year.

To access the mobile version on your device that is not an iPhone or BlackBerry ... simply pop onto the internet and type "m.coldwellbanker.com". Search for properties, open houses and agents right from your phone!

So what is a mobile version? Simply stated, it is a scaled down version of the main site, in this case, the corporate Coldwell Banker site. A mobile version of a website is made for the smaller screens on our devices, they will not have all of the functionality of the main site, but you will have access to some of the major features. Most of the time, if you type in the original www site url you will be redirected to the mobile version, but this is not always the case.

Many of your favorite websites have mobile versions of their own sites, for example:

www.cnn.com >>> m.cnn.com
www.npr.org >>> m.npr.org

Some will have "wap.sitename.com" instead of the "m". WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol - yet another open source platform (you know how I love open source anything)!

So ... even though CB is saying iPhones and BlackBerry's - we know - we all have access to the new mobile version of coldwellbanker.com as long as we can get online on our phones!

GO PHILS!!!
