RingCentral Online Provides Ideal Telecommunications Solution for a Growing Number of Independent Realtors
Advanced Features Give Leading Realtors Competitive Edge—Streamlining Communications and Improving Customer Service
National Association of Realtors Conference and Expo, November 10,
2006 – RingCentral today announced that a growing number of
realtors, including independent realtors from Century 21 and Coldwell
Banker have selected RingCentral Online for on demand
telecommunications services. Combining a toll-free and/or local number
with advanced call management, PBX, voicemail, Click-to-call and
Internet fax, RingCentral enables realtors to effectively manage
communications and project a professional image to customers, partners
and prospects.
“Connecting with buyers and sellers is at
the core of my business; but before RingCentral Online, I relied on
voicemail for most communications. Now I am able to more effectively
manage calls and connect with my most important clients at any time,
from any location—all through one local number,” said Roger Flowers,
realtor for Century 21. “RingCentral helps drive my business. Advanced
features like the Click-to-call RingMe capability encourage
prospective clients to make that first call and the ability to set up
and mange audio property tours saves me valuable time.”
In this turbulent market, maintaining a competitive edge is critical
for real estate professionals. With younger buyers and sellers
entering the market, incorporating Internet technology helps realtors
better connect with clients and remain competitive. According to a
2006 technology survey conducted by the National Association of
Realtors, 56 percent of agents spent more than $1,000 each for
technology in 2006 and 30 percent spent more than $2,000.
RingCentral is a critical technology component for realtors,
enabling them to more effectively connect with buyers and sellers,
generate sales leads, boost customer satisfaction and project a
professional image. With RingCentral, realtors receive one phone
number and an easy-to-use online account. Through the online account,
realtors can configure their service, forwarding calls to multiple
phones (e.g., office, home or mobile phone) and setting up greetings
and recorded audio tours with property information. They can
automatically screen, forward and place calls; take voicemails; allow
customers to call directly from the Website; view a log of calls for
sales leads; send and receive faxes; and receive message alerts.
Currently, 25,000 customers use RingCentral’s comprehensive and
affordable hosted phone system to unify landline, wireless, VoIP, fax
and email communications.
Responding to the needs of
real estate agents, RingCentral recently enhanced its service to
include Fax on Demand, Call Logs and Click-to-call capabilities. Fax
on Demand allows subscribers to fax from the convenience of their
mobile devices—it also allows callers to easily fax documents, such as
listings and forms, to themselves. Call Logs provide busy mobile
professionals advanced sorting capabilities that allow them to filter
according to date, call type and caller ID. RingCentral’s RingMe is an
embedded click-to-call button that subscribers can put on their Web
site or in an email signature. This service allows online visitors
worldwide to initiate a toll-free call with a mouse click.
“Today’s realtors face an increasingly competitive market and
need technology tools that save time, boost sales and increase
customer satisfaction,” said Vlad Shmunis, CEO of RingCentral.
“RingCentral Online unifies the most critical communication tools,
enabling on-the-go professionals to drive their business forward. And
advanced features like RingMe and Call Logs provide an inexpensive,
easy-to-implement system to connect realtors with clients and
prospects.”
RingCentral will be exhibiting at the
National Association of Realtors (NAR) Conference, booth #1067 at the
Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, Louisiana, November 10 – 13,
2006.
