Accomplishments:
Coldwell Banker Created user-friendly presentations for the end user to
understand. New agents coming into the Real-Estate business were able to
understand and process the latest tools faster which turned into a more
professional experience with the Agents and the Buyers/Sellers.
Redesigned step by step guides that saved time and money on existing and
new eMarketing tools. Real-Estate Agents were able to follow a more visual
guide than standard text based directions, which would tend to slow or
confuse then end user on subjects that were based on Microsoft Outlook and
online eMarketing tools.
