RISMEDIA, August 30, 2006?Thousands of agents have signed on since the program’s inception in 2002, and CreateAPlan expects an even stronger response from brokers and owners.

Allen Wright, VP of CreateAPlan www.CreateAPlan.com states, ?For years we have focused on the agent side of business planning. Now we are able to help brokers not only make better business decisions, but map out the productivity of all of their agents and manage their entire business plan through one online system.?

Brokers often ask their agents for an annual business plan detailing the number of closed transactions and a strategy to achieve that goal. Once agents break their goal into weekly steps of accountability and action, things tend to get messy. Not only do agents loose track of the key tasks they should be completing, but brokers have no way of managing their respective weekly productivity.

?All of that chaos is now going away,’ says Wright.

CreateAPlan not only offers built-in accountability to ensure that agents meet their goals, but the new Broker-Centric version will aggregate and consolidate all marketing activities into one weekly checklist.

Several nationally recognized real estate companies have tested the CreateAPlan Broker beta version, providing input to help shape the initial design. CreateAPlan’s finishing touches will enable brokers to model sources of revenue and apply different commission, fee, revenue and expense structures to each revenue source.

?Imagine a complex and convoluted matrix with all your agents or groups of agents listed out, then apply the corresponding commission structure, revenue and desk fee scenarios, production assumptions and direct expenses to each one,? said Wright. The result is a summary of how real estate offices generally operate; little special deals cut for various agents. CreateAPlan calculates and consolidates these special strategies and summarizes them for the broker.

CreateAPlan for Brokers can also run Recruiting Scenarios, Agent and Production Scenarios and Break Even Analyses. It allows brokers to enter business operating expenses and calculate exact overhead and profit per agent.
