Another year is almost on the books and we’ve been working on some awesome plans for 2019. You’ll be happy to know we’ve got some great things coming and big announcements to make on the IDX front!

One of the most successful efforts we launched this year is our IDX Fundamentals training track. IDX Fundamentals is designed to help new agents, or those agents who may not be as technically savvy, break down the world of IDX home search options into plain English, demystifying acronyms and technical jargon that often confuse AND result in your MLS receiving calls from mixed-up members.


Earlier this year, we started with a series of live webinars that are now availableOn-Demand” Here’s how it works:

Members choose 2 of the following 3 “IDX Basics” trainings:

  • ·  IDX & Your Flexmls Portal
  • ·  What is IDX & Why Do I Need It?
  • ·  Which IDX Solution Is Right For Me?
    And then one of our product-specific trainings
  • ·  SmartFrame Fundamentals
  • ·  Wordpress IDX Plugin Fundamentals

Members who successfully complete the program receive some great rewards:

  • ·  A certificate of completion
  • ·  A 30 minute mentoring session by-phone with me, Mike Price
  • ·  And for new subscribers,  two months of free FBS IDX service

I will be conducting a webinar November 27th at 1 PM central to “reintroduce” the IDX Fundamentals tracks for your members. Please share this information and the registration link with your members. All of our trainings are completely free to them and IDX Fundamentals is a great way to help them demystify the technical jargon that often confuses. Your members can register at this link:

Stay tuned to the MLSToolkit blog! I will be adding some great new white label content very soon along with some fantastic news that you and your members will be super happy to hear!

In every training webinar we produce at FBS IDX Solutions we always take time to put emphasis on Flexmls’ LIVE Data. What does LIVE data mean in this day and age? For FBS it means that, when a listing is updated in the Flexmls system, it is reflected up-to-the-second, in our IDX products. (Unlike other products that may be updated via a RETS feed on a scheduled basis.)



We have created some great content resources that help your members grasp the importance of this competitive advantage and provide some guidance on how to best leverage it in their marketing strategies.

How often do your members ask you about the best ways to improve their ability to capture and convert leads with their websites?

We’re guessing it’s pretty often. For some time now we have been polling our prospects and clients about the issues most important to them as it relates to their IDX strategy. After compiling that information and speaking with our team of 3 IDX Specialists, we got to work by introducing two new trainings to our schedule. They are a deeper dive into the cycle of an IDX web site strategy and our IDX Smartframe and Wordpress IDX Plugin solutions that support them:

 

FBS IDX Smartframe: From Lead To Close 
FBS Wordpress IDX Plugin: From Lead To Close

I have added white labeled versions of both presentations to the download center along with suggested presenter notes and links to recorded versions of the trainings. We know from our analytics that these sessions are popular with your members and we will be working hard to continually tweak and improve them to deliver the kind of training that will have a real, actionable impact on their web-based home search and lead capture efforts.

Too busy to implement the white label content into your ongoing communication efforts with your members? We invite you to share our training schedule and help center links with your members. We’re laser focused on the success of your members and working hard every day to support your efforts. We welcome any and all input as to how we can improve.

We know how frustrating it is to continually untangle all of the tech acronyms you’re bombarded with, it’s like water rushing from a fire hose. In an effort to stem the tide, we established IDX Fundamentals as a completely FREE training track for your members.. It helps your members grasp the basics of IDX and web-based home search along while also providing an overview of the FBS IDX Solutions. It has been very popular with your members, so much so, we’ve decided to set up IDX Fundamentals as an “On Demand” platform that can be conducted at a pace that’s convenient for your agents and brokers.
