From Michael Bean:

2. Your own powerful website. Free.

Sorry, we can''t tell you that - but, when you join The Bean Group we take care of everything for you, including building you your own powerful website, at absolutely no cost to you. No set-up fee. No monthly fee.
What kind of website do I get?

Phone conversation with agent Kim Gustafson.
"The feedback from my customers and clients is amazing. They say they "love the website", they are actually effusive! They say it''s "the best website", "user friendly", and on and on. As an agent, well, I have 30 leads on my desk right now! I have never seen anything like this, I am almost overwhelmed. When I was at [my previous brokerage] I''d get maybe 1 buyer call a month. Plus I was paying desk fees, and other fees. I was paying to work for them... it was a total waste of my time! Now, I am working 12 hours a day. It''s unbelievable. I am flat out! I showed 15 properties this week, I am showing 8 condos this afternoon, and 6 waterfront listings on Monday. It''s weird, all this and I haven''t been with Bean Group for long, maybe a month. I told Steve, I am never leaving Bean Group, never." –Kim Gustafson, Bean Group (conversation on 7/14/06)

4. Your Own Lead Generation Machine.
We provide our agents with the best real estate website in the business. Sure, some brokers might give you a web page, but we give our agents a complete web presence based on our years of experience. Our agents use their websites to get 3 to 10 times more leads than most other agents. So what''s better than one hot lead every day? How about ten!
How do more leads help you? First off, you''ll spend more time working with customers rather than trying to find customers. You''ll spend more time with your family instead of hunting around for prospects. In essence, you get to do your job; meeting buyers, taking new listings, showing houses, and closing sales. Forget cold calling, forget worrying about where the next buyer or seller will come from. Your Bean Group website will likely provide you with enough leads to make prospecting a thing of the past. After a short time we think you''ll appreciate the security of a smooth flow of new, more qualified, more educated, less fickle leads.
How does it work? We show you how to use your website as a centerpiece of your marketing and customer communications. We provide incredible marketing and technical support. You invest your time working with customers, not finding them. Take advantage of our expertise and build your business this year. Apply today...
Phone conversation with agent Monique Tenander.
"It''s really nice not having to sit in the office and wait for calls to come in, like I did at [my previous brokerage]. I joke that now I sit in my living room and listen for my email to beep. For me it''s the freedom. I work the way I want, when I want. If it''s a holiday and I decide to take the day off, I do. I am not tied to the office anymore. The freedom is great. And I''m busy now too, the amount of inquiries is appalling. In fact when I first met with Michael Bean I didn''t believe him about all the leads, but now I know, it''s true! Now it''s like, "How can I handle all these leads?" Yeah, I know not all will buy, but I know if I do the same good job I''ve done in the past it''ll happen. The amount of leads are just huge... when I left [my previous brokerage] it was really quiet. Oops, hold on... (talking with someone, waiting 10 seconds) Sorry, I just had to give my kids some money for the go carts. See, that''s what I mean, I love the freedom!" –Monique Tenander, Bean Group (conversation on 7/14/06)

5. Work from home. Or anywhere.
Our agents are mobile. We enable, encourage and train our agents to work from home or the road by providing tools that include full access to email, e-fax, customer relationship management, transaction management, and the MLS - everything you need to work from wherever you are.
"They''ve left their desks behind to work virtually... a brick-and-mortar office isn''t really necessary for salespeople to be productive anymore." -Realtor Magazine, August 2006
Why work from home? We think this is the future. Driving to an office is mostly an unnecessary waste of your time (see sidebar). By having efficient, strategically placed offices we can pay our agents more, save our customers more, and save a tree or two (yes, we are progressive, just like you).
Our growing network of office and conference spaces provide a great place to meet with buyers and sellers in addition to traditionally meeting customers & clients at their homes.
Where are the usual office meetings held? We still have a central office and company meetings (we just don''t make you commute daily). Our company headquarters are located in Portsmouth, NH. We have additional offices in Wolfeboro, Bedford, and Taftsville Vermont. All have modern amenities; conference rooms, broadband wireless access, and more. Apply today...
6. No floor time. No "up desk" rules.
We respect our agents, and we don''t ask them to answer the phones for free. We have a full time, fully trained, non-competing licensed call coordinator to answer our customers calls and put them in touch with our agents as quickly as possible - wherever they are. Our agents get qualified "up desk calls" in their market without having to play receptionist for other agents - and our agents get all their own listing calls - always.
Why no floor time? Our agents are mobile. They work from their home or the road. If you work for The Bean Group and you love floor time we recommend you stand in your kitchen, grab a snack, and smile (because you''re still not missing any leads).
You must have some "up desk" rules? No rules, none. Our founder, Michael Bean, had an experience years ago when he missed a million dollar sale by 5 minutes because of an "up desk" rule... the customer was his but the call got routed to another agent. No "up desk" rules was the first change he vowed to make with his own brokerage.
7. All calls for your listings go to you.
At Bean Group you can stop worrying that someone else may get ''your listing call''. We have a full time, fully trained, non-competing licensed call coordinator to answer our customers calls and put them in touch with our agents as quickly as possible - wherever they are. Our agents get all their own listing calls - always.
All calls on my listings come to me? Yes. We know agents work very hard to get listings, so when calls come in our dedicated call coordinator will get in touch with you, the listing agent, as quickly as possible. Plus, our high tech phone system routes calls to your cell phone blazingly fast. It''s your listing! And your phone call. Always.
8. Marketing support where you need it.
Most agents do their own marketing. At Bean Group we know your time is better spent working with clients and customers, not marketing. This is why we have full-time staff available to help you get marketing tasks done. From marketing listings to marketing yourself. Yes, hand off your marketing tasks to our staff... let them upload photos to the MLS, take care of your listings in our corporate Homes and Land Magazine Ads (always free at Bean Group by the way), or anywhere else they need to go. They''ll also provide you with website marketing tips, link networking how-to''s, copywriting, banner ad creation and more. Plus, they''ll even show you their inside tips so you can work more productively in the future.
But I can do this stuff myself, right? Sure you can. But again, most top producing agents find their time is better spent when they are out selling. Let our award-winning marketing staff market your listings better, market your website better, and more.
9. Easy Agent Transfers.
We understand that hiccups from changing firms can affect your business so we created a unique program for agents that are transferring from another brokerage firm.
How can moving be made easier? We expedite every detail of the move for the agent - including NNEREN transfers, the New Hampshire Real Estate Commission licensing, business cards, email, agent website, and press releases. Our goal is to make your transfer seamless.
What''s the usual transfer process like? The first step is to simply make up your mind to transfer. Sometimes it''s hard, other times it''s evident things have not been working. Once you''ve made up your mind let us know right away, so we can help you.
The final steps are usually done like so - first, contact our Agent Transfer Manager. She will advise you on the best strategy to expedite your transition. Next there are a number of forms we will fill out with you; state, MLS, IDX, etc. While those are "processing" we''ll get your new marketing tools ready (business cards, website, email, etc.). Believe it or not, that''s it. Relax. And welcome to Bean Group!
10. Plus a few more "good things".
Did you know? In a recent survey REALTORS were perceived only one notch above "car salesmen" for honesty and professionalism. It''s true. We''d like to work hard to change that perception.
How can we change things, starting today? For one, we are building a new website (beanisgood.com) that will show the many good things our agents do. We give charitably so we''ll show our contributions. We have professional standards so we''ll discuss them. We give back to our communities so we''ll post photos. We save our agents from commuting so we''ll show the emissions savings. It''s a start!
What about the future? Our attitude is that we can change our world. We are open to ideas. We want you to have both a good life and a good career. And as you can see by reading this, we are willing do things a little differently. We hope you''ll join us.
