STAMFORD, Conn., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- William Pitt – Julia B. Fee Sotheby's
International Realty today announced a significant revamp to its
Agent Connect portal, an internal intranet that serves as the
backbone of the brokerage's technology, connecting agents to all
company business tools and resources. The company also announced
the launch of a new proprietary software application that operates
as a search engine delivering relevant content in response to agent
queries, branded Ask Athena.
Personalization is just one of many new capabilities the
redesigned Agent Connect offers the more than 1,100 agents in 26
brokerage offices. The sortable app launchpad connects agents to
all business and marketing tools and enables them to quickly access
those features most important to them. Other changes to the portal
include a new contact management system that syncs with each
agent's contacts across email, phone and the firm's CRM partner,
Cloze; a reporting system that tracks clients' engagement with
agent marketing reports and the company website; improved editor
capabilities that make creating custom market reports quick and
easy; and a one-click series of buttons that allows agents instant
access to all William Pitt – Julia
B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty apps and bookmarked
sites.
Ask Athena, named for the goddess of knowledge and wisdom, is an
on-demand digital databank of knowledge and resources that was
collectively engineered by the company's training, marketing and
technology teams. This newest addition to the agents' arsenal of
software utility tools was devised and built to meet their
expanding needs for courses, tutorials, how-tos, tips, updates and
much more. Search requests are made using common keywords or
phrases, and the Ask Athena results are organized in categories by
relevance or type of content. Agents can connect to Ask Athena
directly from desktop or mobile, giving them access to answers to
their questions from practically anywhere at any time.
"As our world evolves at a faster rate than ever before, our
mission is to not only equip our agents with the best technology in
the business, but also to make sure the tech products speak to one
another and create a powerful, seamless experience," said
Vincent Socci, Chief Operating
Officer with William Pitt – Julia B.
Fee Sotheby's International Realty. "Agent Connect and Ask Athena
are the central hub that connects our entire company. Agents may
access everything they need to run their business no matter where
they are. These are the kinds of extraordinary services our agents
and clients have come to expect from our firm."
