A Guide on Getting Your Team Across Tech Stack Changes

As a real estate agent, keeping up with the latest technology is crucial to success and will help separate you from the competition, helping you to reach your fullest potential.

However, implementing new tech stack changes can be challenging as your team may not be all that excited about learning a new system. It can also be time-consuming and difficult. Without the proper approach, it could lead to a decrease in productivity and morale. 

Fortunately, there are a number of ways you can quickly get your team on board with new technology changes.

Highlighting Key Benefits

One way to get your team excited about new technology changes is to highlight the major benefits of working with the new technology.

Discussing how the new technology can save time, increase efficiency and productivity and make their job easier can motivate them to learn the new system. If you can link the technology to an improved final result and highlight how that can generate more income, that’s even better. It’s essential to make it clear that the change is for the better and that it will ultimately benefit the team and the business.

Technology changes are not just built for the agent, but also for the client experience. Advances in technology have allowed for improved interfaces, and interactions with real estate agents. Furthermore, automations have made it easier than ever to prospect, and to stay in touch with your clients, building those client relationships.

Make the Most of Onboarding Services

Another way to make the transition to new technology smoother is to make the most of onboarding services and learning resources. Many technology providers offer onboarding services that can help your team get up to speed quickly.

For example, PropTech Group Learning Hub is an excellent training resource which can be customised to the specific needs of your team. Making the most of available resources can help your team become more familiar with the new technology a lot faster, leading to a quicker and more successful adoption.

Get Ongoing Feedback

To ensure that the transition to your new technology goes smoothly, it’s essential to get ongoing feedback from your team members throughout the changeover process. Encourage them to voice their concerns and provide feedback on what’s working and what’s not. This approach can help you identify any issues before they become major problems and make the necessary adjustments to the adoption process. Furthermore, it ensures the concerns from your team members are validated and heard, strengthening your relationship.

Acknowledge and Validate the Concerns of Your Team Members

It’s natural for team members to feel uneasy about adopting new technology, especially if they are comfortable with the current system. Acknowledge and validate their concerns by having an open-door policy and by encouraging them to voice their concerns. Immediately, address their worries and provide plenty of reassurance that the new technology will be a positive change in the long run. This approach can help build trust and buy-in from your team, leading to a more successful adoption and a far better work environment. When concerns from your team fall on deaf ears, working relationships break down, and the liklihood of a successful adoption rapidly declines.

Implementing new technology changes can be a daunting task, but it's crucial for real estate agents to keep up with the latest technology to stay competitive. No one likes change but in business, we understand it is critical to always be evolving and improving to ensure your business is able to stand the test of time.
