I have had a presentation and liked it. The monthly fee is something I didn't want to add at the time but if you can get it for free, take it and see if it enhances your business.

Jan,

I still believe that all the bells and whistles cannot replaced face to face.  If they give you more time for face time, then I would analyze it.  Just reporting what I see is working with the top tier agents.  A

Be careful of the hook.  Free now ... but what will it cost when the free is no longer free.

      If it's Free, give it a try and let us know how it works out. 

   With respect, if they require a credit or debit card to register, be sure to use a throw-away Visa card and zero it out ASAP.  Because so many companies will start charging you after the Free Trial period runs out, and you have to call and beg and plead to get them to stop charging you.

I looked at it briefly once, but it didn't fit my business at the time.  If you can get it for free, I'd jump on it though and see what you can get out of it.  "Free.99" is my favorite price to test out a service.

Jan Green I would go for it if it's free and you get the leads directly.  It's exposure.  On line leads are typically searching on many platforms and some have agents already.   I have talked to agents who swear by Boom town and other platforms such as this.  I have not personally used this but given the opportunity for free I would give it a try.  It's expensive and on line platforms that I would invest in would need to have a better return.  The ones that I have used in the past were just money drainers with no proven results.  Will be interested in hearing how it goes for you.

My office also gives us Boomtown for free.  Your success depends on how hard you work at it.  I have gotten sales from it -- one was over $500K, but mostly they are at the low end.
