What's happening on recruiting | bridge

January 2017 Changes

We keep expanding and expanding...

Here are our changes so far this year..

Add Referral pages
- We changed the sorting on the "Add a Referral" page to default with the Main Team Leader first then all then the Team Leader's name alphabetically. This should help Agents quickly add referrals to the main Team Leader.

Referral Page
- Added Visual Status Guide to quickly give you a visual reference of the referral's status in your referral funnel.
- Added the image of the user who referred the referral.

Centers Page
- Now Team Leaders can set the number of days in which referrals should be followed up with. Even though we don't recommend it you even have the ability to turn off follow-up dates for new referrals.



EMOJI is here
- Everyone loves it!!! We added the ability to send Emoji's when texting.



Happy Recruiting!!!

Public Programs Library has arrived!

Expand your programs. Add programs that other Market Centers have shared to your program library.

We are thrilled to introduce our Public Programs Library! You read that right, PUBLIC!
Users now have the ability to share and use email programs created by other users!
Let’s face it, some of us can create a killer drip campaign in a matter of minutes while others aren’t sure where or how to upload a picture. Well, we’ve got you both covered because together everyone achieves more!

You can access the Public Programs Library by going into your Toolbox > Programs and selecting 'Public Programs Library'.



Once you are in the Public Programs Library you are able to peruse hundreds of Email programs created by all recruiting bridge users! Click ‘View Rules’ to preview the rules created for that campaign and from there you are able to preview what the Email looks like. Like what you see? Add it to your library by simply clicking 'Add to your Library'.


*you are able to see email programs you have already added, or own, labeled ‘In your library’

Not in the sharing mood? When creating your Email Program you can select whether or not you want your program shared with other Market Centers!






We hope this will take the burden of creating new programs off your shoulders and increase your productivity! As always, if you have any questions please reach out to us.

QR Code Integration

Now you can customize all of your marketing materials with a custom QR code linked to your landing page. While you advertise your business or listings you can simultaneously build your profit share tree with active, licensed agents.

We are thrilled to announce that you will now be able to have your own QR code linked to your landing page to have printed on your business cards, yard signs and any other collateral. This means you will be putting your landing page into the hands of active agents receiving your marketing materials, business cards or visiting your listings.

What’s a QR code?

Abbreviated for Quick Response Code, a QR Code is a barcode of sorts that is machine-readable and contains information about the item to which it is attached.

In our case it is a 2-d barcode attached to your customized landing page. When scanned with a mobile device, this code will bring people directly to your page where they can enter in their information and will be automatically sent to your Team Leader with your name as the referring agent. Perfect for agents on the go!

Yours in success,

Get recruiting | bridge for free!



With our latest feature released we have now given you the ability to leverage recruiting | bridge across multiple vendors. We know several market centers have a relationship with Real Estate schools and we wanted to make it easier for you to alert them when an 'Unlicensed' lead arrives in your bridge. So we've added the ability to forward them a copy of the lead's information once an 'Unlicensed' lead shows up in your bridge. This will allow them to get them to follow up with this lead quicker, enroll them quicker and shorten the life cycle for them to start producing in your market center.

And since we are not only generating leads for your Market Center but also for your primary "Real Estate" school several Market Centers are subsidizing their cost of recruiting | bridge or leveraging their partner 100% for the cost of our system! It's a Win, Win, Win!

To get to this feature just edit your Market Center details and look for it in your "Referral Rules" section.

Turn your Referrals into Users!

We know that it can be a pain for you to remember to create a User account for a Referral once they join your Market Center. We wanted to make this easier for you so we have now implemented the feature to AutoCreate Users from your referrals once they join your Market Center. You don't have to do anything on your end. Once a referral's status is changed to "Joined" we automatically create a user account for them and send them the details. So now they can start sending you their referrals as soon as they start!

If you still wish to create this users manually you can turn this feature on or off in the "My Center Details" section.

Drive traffic from Facebook to your recruiting | bridge landing page!

A step by step guide to help you create Facebook ads to drive traffic to you recruiting | bridge landing pages.

  • Determine if you're going to use the Recruit Select domain, or a custom domain. A custom domain can be used for about $12 / year. If a custom domain is used, you’ll need to forward to your recruiting bridge page.
  • You'll need a Facebook Business Page to place the ad.
  • From your FB Business page, click the down arrow in the top right corner and select Create Ads
  • Choose the objective for your campaign. You'll typically want to "Send people to your website"
  • Enter the URL (the domain name you’re going to use)
  • Name the campaign, and then navigate down the page.
    • Audiences - you can either use a custom audience (list of names you’ve uploaded), an audience based on locations, or an audience based on other interests, demographics, professions, etc. You'll also select a target age group and gender for the ads.
    • Next, you'll set a daily budget for the ads and a schedule for the ads to run.
    • You can then "optimize and determine how you are charged". FB defaults to "pay per impressions and 'get more link clicks at the best price'; which is what I often use.
    • You'll then determine the ad scheduling (Whether you only want them to run at certain times, or throughout the day), and if you want FB to spread them throughout the day, or to run the ads as quickly as possible, thus exhausting your daily budget quickly).
    • Next determine how you want the ad to look; do you prefer one main image, or multiple images in an ad.
    • Next, you let FB know which business page you’ll be using (if you have more than one).
    • You'll then enter the text you want to show at the top of the ad, the Headline Text, and an optional description - all used to describe why someone would want to click on your ad.
    • Images and Links - Here you'll choose the pictures you want to use (note that pictures with a large percentage of text in them will be denied by FB). If you want to try multiple pictures, FB will track the clicks and favor the use of the most successful pictures used.
    • Then choose a Call-to-Action button (this is optional)
    • Lastly, choose where you want the ads to show on FB (desktop news feed, mobile news feed, desktop right column, audience network). Typically the desktop news feed and mobile news feed give the best returns.
