FULL DESCRIPTION

What SmartZip actually provides

SmartZip applies predictive scoring to a geographic farm, then supports sustained digital and direct-mail marketing to that audience. The model tries to focus an agent on households more likely to move, but a predictive score is still a prioritization signal rather than expressed seller intent.

How it fits into day-to-day work

The program needs a stable farm and enough time for repetition. Validate turnover, household count, competition, mail and ad cadence, creative, response capture, and data access. Track market share and listing conversations over multiple quarters, not only immediate form fills.

What the team must be ready to operate

Choose a stable territory and a patient follow-up rhythm. The team must understand why a record is prioritized, coordinate mail and digital exposure with human outreach, and avoid treating an inferred signal as proof that a homeowner wants to sell.

How to evaluate the economics

Keep predicted households separate from engaged responses. Measure list accuracy, audience reach, two-way conversations, listing appointments, listings won, and cost over a long enough period for farming and nurture to work.

A PRACTICAL 90-DAY REVIEW
  1. Before launch: write down the source, promised unit, complete cost, team owner, response standard, and current baseline.
  2. During setup: test routing, permissions, integrations, exports, reporting, and the exact handoff to a person.
  3. Every week: review delivery, data quality, conversations, appointments, spend, and unresolved follow-up.
  4. At 90 days: compare signed clients and realistic pipeline value with all cash and labor invested in SmartZip.

Contract, data, and exit checks

Before committing to SmartZip, put the full term, automatic renewal, cancellation window, fee changes, territory rules, replacement policy, support level, and every included service in writing. Confirm who owns contacts, activity history, recordings, websites, campaign audiences, phone numbers, and creative. Ask which information can be exported in a usable format, what stops working at cancellation, how long data remains available, and whether any transition support is included.
