In my post yesterday I mentioned
“how badly the super well intentioned but grossly unusable “Lead Street” back-end has been ignored over the past few years…”
RE/MAX hasn’t responded to the post but a few guys from Eneighborhoods took the time to ask me for some elaboration on my beefs with LeadStreet. It was really cool of them to reach out, and I was going to email them back privately, but figured it’d be nice to post a response here since some other RE/MAX folks might like to include items I’m missing from the list below. (Plus, I think this may help continue the intention Greg’s recent CRM posts.)
A Starter LeadStreet Wish List:

- The Activity Plan and Drip Email Campaign features are actually pretty solid functionally, but if they’re hard for me to access and figure out, you’ll likely never get most agents to adopt. And it seems that creating campaigns and activity series still need to be controlled from the broker level? Why not give agents the power to customize these features so they can stop paying vendors like Top Producer and Rainmaker for their services? Plus it’d be great if Drip Email and Activity Plans could all be created under one template like in Heap.
- Where’s the pop/imap email? Yep I said it. GTD Gimme one container for everything! I wanna be able to check my pop/imap gmail from directly within an email client provided by my IDXCRM suite. And when I open my email, I want to be able to turn the sender into a contact and/or log the interaction in the sender’s contact record. (Oprius and a host of others (even TP) do this well if you’d like inspiration..)
- Need Web Forms: A lot of us are nichy bloggers who like to generate targeted lead capture articles and pages on the fly. Why not allow us create customizable web forms that feed our LeadStreet database. And while you’re at it, please make sure that when the database is fed, we can set the forms to trigger activity plan or drip email Read more
