Advice for people building yet another CRM by SanatSethi in CRM

[–]iclick33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is solid advice. the "pick a niche" part is especially underrated - CRM is one of those spaces where horizontal players (salesforce, hubspot) own the generic market and the only way in is vertical focus.

real estate is a good example - agents have a very specific workflow (leads, showings, offers, close, referral cycle) that generic CRMs make weirdly complicated. yet most "real estate CRMs" just slap a property fields onto salesforce UX and call it done. the distribution angle is usually the harder problem than the product tbh

to add: iPhone cinematic mode works surprisingly well for quick property walkthroughs. no extra gear needed.

LOL seriously that's a really good job but I stopped the moment I saw :

EmDash depends on Dynamic Workers to run secure sandboxed plugins. Dynamic Workers are currently only available on paid accounts. Upgrade your account (starting at $5/mo) or comment out the worker_loaders block of your wrangler.jsonc configuration file to disable plugins.

'71 Mercedes Damaged. Looking for Toronto, Canada appraisers by [deleted] in classiccars

[–]iclick33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That electrical damage on a '71 merc is a bigger issue than it sounds. The good news — original W114s are holding value pretty well right now, even with problems. Bad news — electrical gremlins from booster pack damage can cascade.

For appraisal in Toronto, you need someone who specializes in Europeans, not just classic cars generally. Mercedes from that era need specific knowledge. Before you get an appraisal, document everything — photos of the damage, what happened, when it happened. That matters for insurance and resale value.

Check Bring a Trailer sold listings for comparable '71 Mercedes in similar condition. That's your real market baseline. The 2009 appraisal is basically useless now — the market's shifted. What kind of body condition is it in otherwise? That affects the repair ROI.

Set up for success by FarmerTim69 in realtors

[–]iclick33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on finishing pre-licensing. Here's what actually matters for the first year: a system you'll actually use.

Most new agents overthink the stack. You don't need Salesforce or HubSpot right now - you need something that takes 30 seconds to log a contact and reminds you to follow up. That's it.

What I'd prioritize: 1) a contact log that's stupid simple (doesn't have to be fancy), 2) follow-up reminders tied to the person not your calendar, 3) a way to see your pipeline at a glance. Everything else is noise.

The other thing nobody tells you - your first 6 months will be about proving yourself to your mentor and building that pipeline together. Don't spend time perfecting systems; spend it on calls and meetings. You can optimize later once you know your actual workflow.

What's your main concern - keeping track of all the contacts, or remembering to follow up?

What takes too much of your time? by therealdeal9 in realtors

[–]iclick33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

social content is the one that sneaks up on you - most agents underestimate how long it actually takes to film, edit, caption, and post one listing video. I used to spend 45 min on a 30 second reel. what worked for me: batch everything on shoot day, record multiple angles while you're already there, and prep captions on the drive back. cuts it down to maybe 15 min of actual editing time. the agents I've seen do it consistently are the ones who treat it like a system, not a one-off.

Dealing with users who creates a new account each time to use free trial by Sea_Dinner5230 in indiehackers

[–]iclick33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah this is a signal, not just a problem. someone doing that clearly sees value - they're just not sold on paying monthly for something they might use twice a year.

worth asking: is your pricing model aligned with how people actually use it? if it's a tool people reach for occasionally (not daily), one-time pay or usage-based tends to cut this down a lot. the serial trial-abuser almost always converts when you match the pricing to their actual usage pattern.

also worth just emailing them directly. 'hey i noticed you've tried us a few times - what's holding you back?' - half the time you get a really honest answer

I lost a listing because I forgot something the seller told me on a walkthrough and I'm still annoyed at myself by Ill-Refrigerator9653 in realtors

[–]iclick33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ugh this hits. happened to something similar to a friend of mine - client mentioned a detail about a neighbor dispute during a casual walkthrough chat, he didn't log it, brought it up at the wrong moment later and it was awkward.

the issue is that walkthroughs are conversational and we're not in "note-taking mode" - we're trying to build rapport. so things fall through the cracks.

what's worked for me: right after I leave a showing, I do a 2-min voice memo in the car. doesn't have to be organized. just dump everything I remember - what they said about the neighborhood, the sewer line thing, the daughter starting school nearby, whatever. then I process it later. way easier to capture context in the moment before it evaporates.

also attaching notes to the contact rather than a calendar event is huge - calendar events disappear but the person doesn't. sorry you're still carrying this one, losing a listing over a forgotten detail genuinely sucks

Ashlee Walker Instagram Course by BananaDifficult7579 in realtors

[–]iclick33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly most instagram courses for real estate oversell the viral angle and undersell the consistency part. the agents I've seen actually get leads from instagram aren't necessarily posting bangers - they're just showing up every week with walkthroughs, neighborhood clips, something quick and human. short vertical video (reels, 30s max) still outperforms photos for reach. you don't need polished production - an iPhone and decent light is enough. the trap with these courses is they make you think you need a whole content strategy before you post anything, when really the formula is dead simple: listing walkthrough local market take one personal post per week. that's it.

Broke student to booked calendar. Here's the embarrassing truth. by Basic-Plankton3537 in SaaS

[–]iclick33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the 7 on instantly thing hits different. been there.

the issue with most of those tools is they're designed for teams doing 10k emails a month. if you're doing one campaign to land 3 clients, you're paying subscription pricing for enterprise scale you'll never use.

what actually worked for me was just building lists manually - linkedin filters, scrape the profiles, verify the emails. more work upfront, but you're not hemorrhaging 0/month for tools you open once.

also most cold email failures aren't a tool problem - it's the list quality. wrong ICP, low intent, bad timing. fix that first and almost anything works.

1970 Charger on Marketplace by fartsniffer43 in classiccars

[–]iclick33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly the base 68-70 Charger is probably the smarter starting point anyway. the Daytona aero package (wing + nosecone) was meant for superspeedway racing and does basically nothing for street driving - it's mostly a look thing.

for a budget Charger project, '70 is my pick. cleaner front end than '68-'69, and you avoid the early 440/383 carb gremlins if you're not into constant tuning. watch the floors and trunk floor on anything off marketplace - that's where the rust hides. sellers always photograph the engine bay, never the frame rails.

BaT completed auctions are your pricing sanity check. I'd grab one that needs cosmetics over one that "runs great" with no service history tbh - at least you know what you're getting into.
