Gone are the days when networking and cold calls ruled real estate.

Now, cutting-edge tech is changing the game.

At our recent Ylopo Success Summit, our top brass, including Product Lead Charlene Ho, unveiled some pretty cool stuff.

We're pushing the envelope with our AI products, especially our star player, Ylopo AI Voice (previously known as rAIya Voice).

 
 

In this article, let's dive into what's cooking, the hurdles we're tackling, and how this could flip your daily grind on its head.

Chapter 1: Bouncing Back and Innovating

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let's talk about our mojo.

We don't just roll with the punches - we come back swinging.

The real estate world's been through the wringer lately, but we're all about adapting and powering through.

This grit shows in how we keep tweaking our products, always listening to what users want and keeping an eye on what's next in tech.

Meet Ylopo AI Voice: Your New Digital Sidekick

At the heart of our toolbox is Ylopo AI Voice.

This smart cookie is all about revolutionizing how you handle leads and follow-ups.

It's like having a super-efficient assistant who never sleeps, making calls, qualifying leads, and setting up appointments for you.

What Makes Ylopo AI Voice Tick?

  • Persistent Pal: Our AI doesn't give up easily. It makes 14 calls over 90 days. Why? Because data shows it often takes 7 tries before someone picks up.

  • Smart Talker: The AI's no one-trick pony. It can handle different responses and objections, adapting its chat to each unique convo.

  • Lead Detective: Before it passes a lead to you, Ylopo AI Voice checks if they're really interested in real estate. No time-wasters here!

  • Plays Well with Others: It syncs up nicely with popular CRMs like Follow-Up Boss (FUB), updating lead info automatically.

  • Time Saver Supreme: By handling the initial reach-out and qualifying, it frees you up to focus on the good stuff - like building relationships with hot leads.

Recent Upgrades: Boosting Performance

We've been burning the midnight oil to make Ylopo AI Voice even better.

We're laser-focused on getting more people to answer and transfer calls.

First, we've jazzed up our phone number reputation, and boy, has it paid off! 

Answer rates have skyrocketed from 21% to 42%, with more live transfers to boot.

This Number Reputation Boost is making waves in the industry.

We've also implemented the STIR/SHAKEN Protocol.

This tech (yep, it's really called "Shake and Stir") helps prove calls are legit, so you're less likely to get flagged as spam. It's like a digital handshake that says, "Hey, I'm the real deal!"

Coming soon is Branded Calling.

Imagine your name and logo popping up on compatible phones when you call.

Talk about making a good first impression! It's like putting on your best suit before walking into a meeting.

Tackling Common Headaches

We're not just about fancy features - we're solving real problems.

Soon, our Ylopo AI Voice will use AI smarts to spot disconnected numbers and voicemails.

It'll then kick off workflows to get updated contact info from leads.

Bad numbers will be a thing of the past, making your outreach more efficient than ever.

We're also working on supporting multiple phone numbers and inboxes. This means easier call routing based on market or team setup. Multi-market madness? More like multi-market mastery!

We take TCPA regulations and Do Not Call lists seriously. That's why we steer clear of certain practices, like using data append services for calling.

We're playing by the rules, so you can focus on closing deals without worrying about compliance issues.

Integration and Cross-Channel Chats

We've got big plans for connecting all our tools:

  1. Data Sharing Across Platforms: Info from home searches, emails, and phone chats will shape outreach strategies across all channels.

  2. Smart Content Delivery: Using data from various touchpoints, we plan to use AI to send personalized content through channels like Ylopo AI Text. Think relevant listings, market reports, or other goodies based on what the lead's into.

  3. Follow-Up Texts with Brains: The system will send text messages based on how calls went, creating a smoother communication flow.

Keeping You in the Loop

We know you love your data, so we're cooking up new ways to show you how our AI is performing:

  • You'll get the lowdown on all calls, not just transfers, so you know exactly what's going on.

  • The system will create tags and insights to help you tailor your follow-up game. For example, it might flag Spanish-speaking leads or out-of-area buyers.

  • A new widget for Follow-Up Boss is in the works. It'll let you see what Ylopo AI Voice is up to right from your CRM.

  • Comprehensive reports are coming, showing lead volumes, transfers, nurture leads, and callbacks. It's all about helping you track and optimize how you use the system.

Chapter 2: Database Leads: The Next Frontier

A lot of users are chomping at the bit to use our Ylopo AI Voice with their existing database leads.

But we're taking a careful approach here.

We know that chats with database leads can be a whole different ballgame compared to new leads.

So, we're taking our time to develop new AI models that can handle these nuances.

It's on our radar, though, so stay tuned!

Tips and Tricks for Ylopo Success

Throughout the presentation, we dropped some knowledge bombs on how to get the most out of our tools:

  1. Be Ready to Pounce: With more transfers coming in, make sure your team's ready to grab those calls. Missed transfers are almost as common as successful ones, so stay on your toes!

  2. Quick Draw McGraw: If you miss a transfer, shoot the lead a text right away. Acknowledge the missed call and set up a follow-up.

  3. Save That Number: Make sure to save the inbox number used for Ylopo AI Voice transfers in your contacts. You'll know exactly who's calling when it rings.

  4. Learn, Baby, Learn: We offer weekly training sessions to keep you in the loop on new features and best practices. Take advantage of these!

  5. Speak Your Mind: We love feedback. Your input helps us keep improving our products, so don't be shy!

The Human Touch: Still King

While we're all about AI and automation, we're not trying to replace the human element.

Far from it!

These tools are meant to handle the repetitive stuff and initial qualifying, freeing you up to do what you do best - building real connections with qualified leads.

Chapter 3: What's Next?

As we keep fine-tuning our AI-powered tools, some exciting possibilities are on the horizon:

  • Smarter AI Chats: As natural language processing gets better, AI assistants like Ylopo AI Voice will be able to handle more complex and nuanced conversations.

  • Personalization on Steroids: As data integration improves, you'll be able to offer super tailored experiences for each lead across all communication channels.

  • Crystal Ball Analytics: Future versions might include predictive models to spot the leads most likely to convert, helping you focus your efforts where they count.

  • Polyglot AI: While Spanish-speaker identification was mentioned, future versions might chat in even more languages.

  • Tech-Savvy Integration: As new communication platforms pop up, AI assistants like Ylopo AI Voice might expand to chat with leads through these new channels.

Wrapping It Up

The innovations we're cooking up are a big leap forward in using AI and automation for real estate lead generation and nurturing.

We're tackling common pain points like inconsistent follow-up, time-consuming lead qualification, and the challenges of juggling communication across multiple channels.

These tools could seriously boost your efficiency and effectiveness.

But remember, this tech is always evolving.

We're constantly refining based on user feedback and new capabilities.

If you're thinking about jumping on this AI bandwagon, stay engaged with the development process.
