That dreaded email inbox. It haunts your dreams. It’s hard to get away from it. From the second you open your computer, “ping, ping, ping.” Email after email popping up for you to respond to. With all that responding, how do you even manage to get anything else done during the day? And don’t get me started on searching for archives or attachments; “Remember that email I sent you two weeks ago about that house?” Searching every single email in your inbox the last two weeks will take all day.
Well today, your problems just might be solved with Slack. Slack was developed specifically for team communication, putting everything in one place, making it instantly searchable, and available wherever you go.
Working with another agent on the sale of a property? Open a channel on the slack app with them and start the conversation even add in your client if appropriate. This channel can include messages, files, comments, images, videos, links, Twitter, Dropbox or Google Drive just to name a few. That means you can upload a contract have your teammates review it and see their notes all in the same place. No need to get out of one space just to log into another. No more need to question if this the most current version. It’s all right there in the Slack app ready for you to review, comment and move forward. The meeting continues and your standard email inbox can be saved for outside communication.
Slack is easily searchable too. I really like this feature since so many times I find myself going back into my old emails to find a sample post card, or need to reference a specific instruction on a property. Slack makes it easy to find both of these things in their system. It’s definitely communication for the 21st century.
Teams are using this app and increasing their productivity all over the world. Check out one of their success stories below.
