Irony Of Assessed Value (CFFL 526)

Transcript:

Jack Butala:                       Jack Butala with Jill Dewitt.

Jill Dewitt:                           Hi.

Jack Butala:                       Welcome to the show today. In this episode, Jill and I talk about the irony of assessed value. Before we get in to it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.

Jill Dewitt:                           Okay. Luke asks, "I have used Google Voice for the last year and it's worked great, until they randomly shut down my account. I requested that they reactivate it, and they did it within about 24 hours, but I'm at the point where I can't be dealing with setbacks like that." I agree.

Jack Butala:                       Yeah, good for you, Luke Harris.

Jill Dewitt:                           "I'm using PATlive as well, but I need a service to text and make outbound calls with. What sponsors did you all use for your business?"

Jack Butala:                       We use Jill Live, which we are still in a test phase with. Does it have a texting piece? I'm looking in to that, but we don't currently do that, and we, you know ... Jill Live is a fantastic product, it's just down the chain of products that we're releasing, so, I wish I could help more. Most people are using PATlive in our group, you know, because I talk to the sales rep there once in a while, and he tells me how many new people are signing up all the time, so ... I don't know if there's an all-in-one, CRM based ... I have a meeting about this actually today. CRM based sales scenario out there, but we're in the process of developing it, just like everything else.

Jill Dewitt:                           I keep hoping we're gonna find, like, you know we have our VOIP service? I'm waiting for you, or somebody ... We're gonna trip on the VOIP/texting enabled, all within, like, Microsoft or something, and that's gonna be perfect.

Jack Butala:                        I have a meeting this morning on that.

Jill Dewitt:                           Okay.

Jack Butala:                       And so I'm very aware of the demand, Luke.

Jill Dewitt:                           This is a big deal.

Jack Butala:                       And very aware of the technological challenge. We made the mistake, Jill and I ...

Jill Dewitt:                           Hang in there.

Jack Butala:                       We were releasing products too soon that don't work.

Jill Dewitt:                           Yeah.

Jack Butala:                       We never want to be in that situation again.

Jill Dewitt:                           That was a long time ago.

Jack Butala:                       Yeah, it was. Like we said in the last show, we want to make sure that ... So, obviously this is one of Luke Harris's bottlenecks right now. We're trying to, one by one, eliminate those. ParcelFact eliminated ...

Jill Dewitt:                           Right. [crosstalk 00:02:14] That took precedent over answering the phones, and things like that.

Jack Butala:                       If you haven't ...

Jill Dewitt:                           And [inaudible 00:02:19] has taken precedent.

Jack Butala:                      Yeah. If you haven't used ParcelFact, the free version, for a while, you should go check it out, because it solves due diligence entirely.

Jill Dewitt:                           Right, and that's the point. We're focusing on products that ... There is no other solution, and let's get those tackled, because those are huge bottlenecks. But answering a phone, all right, we can figure it out. Are we spending more money sometimes? Yeah, okay, but at least we have some options.

Jack Butala:                       You're right. ParcelFact was a solution that was not out there.

Jill Dewitt:                           Right. We had to get to that first and offer it to owners right now.
