Hi everyone,

I'm Jeff Herrera the founder of Requestmaster.com. I'm here to help answer any questions you may have about to Requestmaster.com.

I'm also looking forward to hearing how it works for you and if you have any suggestions on how to make it a better tool for you, please let me know.

Jeff,
I would want to post an association logo in my profile. I am trying to post a Certified Master Inspection logo. So I went to the www.certifiedmasterinspector.org and picked up this url http://www.certifiedmasterinspector....tor%20Seal.png . I cannot get it to work on your site.
What am I doing wrong?

[James E. Braun, CMI]

Also, I cannot fill out the awards section.

[jherrera]

James, thanks for the input.

The association logo should be inputted in html format: <a href="http://www.certifiedmasterinspector.org" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.certifiedmasterinspector....s/cmilogo2.gif"" /></a>

I made this change for you already so it displays correctly. I will also be changing this input so that it is a simple upload of the association logo image you want to display.

I also tested the input for awards and it did allow me to input information and display it on your company profile. The input here for the awards is standard text. This way you have some room to describe what the award was for, etc..

If you are still having problems, send me an email with your input and i'll correct it for you. Also let me know what browser you typically use to i can take a look with the same browser.

[James E. Braun, CMI]

My browser is IE9.

James,

We fixed the association logo part and decided to just allow you to upload an image. We will be uploading those changes tomorrow morning. I will also add back in the logo that you want to have displayed.

Have you had a chance to try anything else out on the website yet?

[Jeffrey R. Jonas]

Jeff,
How about posting a synopsis of what your program is all about, including "the bottom line". To be honest, we get inundated with such offers all the time, (here, email, phone) and my eyes (and mind) glaze over pretty quickly now-a-days. If your post intiugues me, I'll find time to peruse your website. Thanks. Jeff

No, will later when business slows back down.

Jeffrey,

That's a good idea. OK. Here is the basic nuts and bolts with what we are doing:

We're building simple tools on Requestmaster to help you initiate contact with Real Estate agents in your areas, the purpose of Requestmaster is to help you to build relationships with them as well as many others, for the purpose of helping you develop and grow a referral network.

There are a few keys you should remember:
1. Invite one or two Realtors at a time, this gives you an introduction to them. Follow up and start the process of getting to know them. If you use it right, you will get into a good habit of contacting new agents all the time. As they sign on to the free version, and do the same, the network in your area grows.
2. We have a newsletter that is scheduled for every Wednesday distribution. You can post articles or events for free. Remember, the purpose is relationship building. If you post Home Inspection or maintenance information, not advertisements it will take you further.
3. We have a great basic membership that gives you a lot of access. There is really not much that is not available at the free level, except for the ability to advertise in the newsletters which, if you want to, AND you have been an active early adopter, you can definitely take advantage of that down the road

We are continuing to build new features based on membership wishes and input. I hope this summary helps a bit more. What we are looking to do is build a valuable referral network, with valuable quality businesses.

Here is a summary of the basic and premium memberships.
