You've probably at least heard of Google Voice by now. You might even be using it in your real estate investing business (many of us are).
But chances are, you've yet to discover how to really "pimp out" your Google voice number to be the potential ninja asset it can be for you and your business.
If You're Unfamiliar...
Google Voice (formerly GrandCentral) is a telecommunications service by Google that offers you one number (yours free) that's tied to your existing Google/Gmail account. You can use it to reach any/all of your physical handsets by way of some intelligent phone features that your existing handsets and services probably don't have.
Things like:
-
Intelligent call forwarding: Sset up rules for how you want your calls routed to different places at different times/days.
-
Customizable ringing: Calls from some callers might ring only at home, while those from others would go straight to voicemail
-
An easy web interface: Let's you manage voice messages online, filing and archiving them much like Gmail, customize greetings by caller and by group.
-
Other cool stuff: Like call recording, automatic transcripts, cheap int'l calling, free SMS, etc.
The list of cool features goes on. But still...how do you most effectively use it in your REI business? Truth be told, it's not the easiest to figure out how to effectively track the effectiveness of multiple marketing methods, using only the one Google voice number you're allotted.
Well this clever investor’s figured it out…
In a recent chat with Cody Sperber, he shared some very specific and cool ways he's really "pimped out" his Google voice to really streamline his REI marketing machine.
It's not hard to do at all really, but it's also not something you'd necessarily see on your own. In this tasty little tech tip you'll learn exactly how it's done, so you can copy it yourself if you like.
You'll hear exactly how he configures the settings, the caller ID, and the whole shebang, so that he can immediately tell exactly where each and every lead is calling from before he even picks up the phone. Enjoy...
