I’m just going to jump straight into the meeting. I’m going to share my screen and we’re going to talk about fastware’s functionality and really more focused on search, really.
Okay. So hopefully everyone’s got access to my screen. So effectively the first thing we’re talking about is I mean, most of you’ve been on the site, so you know roughly how this works.
Firstly, we’re just going to talk about search everything, okay? So the way the system works is you can even search by a region or province which will come up here. You can search by an area like Tongue, you can search by a BTS station. So pretty much you can search by anything.
You can search by project, let’s say to each other. So you’ve got all different projects here. Now the only difference between desktop and mobile is on mobile.
Try and just show you roughly how it works on mobile. Let me just load this page up again. So imagine this is a mobile.
You have a near me function or you can choose on map. So on mobile you can actually search by near me, similar to like you’re looking for hotels around you. And if you click near me, it will ask you for your location at some point.
Now because I’m on my computer, not my laptop, it thinks I’m in Bangkok or somewhere else. But if you do it on your mobile, it picks up your 4G or 3G signal and it works perfectly. So that is the only difference between desktop and mobile.
Let me just refresh. Okay, so you can search by pretty much anything, any location, region, province, project. You can even search by a unit ID, which I don’t have any unit IDs off by hand.
If you want to go straight to a unit, you can chuck in the ID and it will bring up straight to the unit. So let’s just play around with this and let’s just choose any random area. So I’m going to go to Bangkok.
Now, what’s important to know is it’s not just really for you guys, it’s also for your clients because any searching run and you can actually send this to someone as a prefill to search. A lot of people probably actually do this already, but I’ll walk through you kind of the basics of how this all works, everything else. Okay, so a good always sort criteria is new listings or updated.
Because if you sort by last updated, you know, effectively you’re going to get everything that’s fresh from the system very quickly. So this is all you can see. It was updated five minutes ago, what was updated yesterday, so always a good start is last updated.
Now all these sorts that we have, there’s all different reasons. I mean, sort price, best reductions, et cetera, et cetera. But if I was utilizing you, I would just search last updated.
It’s the easiest one to kind of utilize and you can see kind of what’s fresh on your system. Now you can turn off the map. There’s a way to turn off the map and you can turn it back on.
If anyone actually cares about doing that, maybe people like the map, et cetera, et cetera. So when you go into any province, you can actually navigate downwards into different areas. For example, you can click on Kongtui and it will just break this down and you can go down further into the subprovance and every area now system is mapped out pretty well, so you can effectively go back and narrow down your specific search into regions.
But the way I like to use the platform specifically when I’m looking, or if I was training anyone how to do this, is let me just go back to Bangkok and just turn the map on. Now if anyone actually gets lost, you can just click Reset search and it will bring you everything back anyway. So that’s an important button to know.
So really it’s all about the filters here. It’s all about the filters. This is kind of roughly how I’d use this.
So I would say if I was going to use this, I would move the map boundary firstly. And there’s Chula Lacon University. I would say actually I’m only want to stay around this university.
This is a student or maybe my parents live over here. This is kind of how I’ll do it. Now my parents don’t live over there.
This is just an example. So the first thing I would do is I would narrow down the location because let’s be honest, location, location, location. People want to stay in certain areas.
So then you have a view. You then will change the view to last updated. So you have everything that’s kind of clean and up to date here.
Now what I would do is I would drive into the filters, okay. So people probably know how to utilize this, but just to kind of recap on this, you can choose whether it’s ready to move in, which is for me, it will be important if I’m looking to move somewhere. And the main one would probably be beds.
I’m looking probably for a two bed. I like to have a spare room. You can also use exact match.
You can switch it to say, well, this is two bed plus. But I can actually say I only actually want a two bed, so let’s just do that. Okay.
The first one would be is price. I mean, if I’m looking to buy auto, rent price would be my biggest driver here. So I don’t really care about the minimum.
I’m going to say really, I’ve only got a budget of 7 million and you can see it’s narrowing down. So it’s gone 337 to 66 properties. Okay, so you’re kind of working roughly out the size now, property type.
Realistically it’s Bangkok, so I’m not going to mess around with that. And there might be guests or like a communal pool in my condominium. So we’re going to narrow it down.
So we’ve dropped from 66 to 65. Obviously some of the stuff like beach access is not applicable in Bangkok. Obviously I’m not going to get a private pool for this.
And I think that kind of highlights roughly what I’m looking for. I would say I want a minimum of 50 m². So I’m just going to just put 50 m² in here and just click.
So we can see now it’s narrowed it down to 43 properties. And yeah, I guess I want to be near a BTS. I don’t know how that’s going to look.
Let’s see if we’ve actually got anything near a BTS. So we’ve got 29. Now, how the BTS works is it’s drawing these little circles around the BTS stations and saying anything that falls into these circles are near the BTS.
But let’s say I actually don’t care. I wouldn’t mind being near a BTS or MRT. You can see these new circles appearing, which are the MRT stations.
I mean, there’s not too much there. So obviously maybe I’m looking for pet friendly, but let’s just say I am for the moment looking for pet friendly. Let’s have a look.
Is there again? Okay, I have two properties only, which is here. So I’m going to remove this for the sake of this conversation now and I’m not right, let me just jump back. Sorry, that’s kind of bugged up my search.
1 second. Okay, let’s just start. I’m left with these 29 properties for the moment.
Okay, so jump back and forward. I could say, look, I want a roughly a new building, something built in at least recently. So I’ve got 16 units that’s built in the last ten years.
So I’m looking for a new condo. And you can scroll down and kind of see where they are. And if you highlight over them, there’s maps.
So a lot of them are actually in the same building. This aspire succumbet 48. Okay, that’s me running a search.
Now what’s important is you can take this link and just copy it and send this to your clients as a filtered search. It will hold everything. So if I come back here to a new tab and I paste that link in there, it would have the exact properties I was looking for.
Okay, so 60 and 60. So it holds the search. So make sure you’re always saying, hey, if you have a client looking for certain criteria, you can basically run a search for them because, look, you’re going to know the system better than they are.
And you can say, look here, this is a search I’ve done. And you can even give them some examples on how to use it. If you’re having a video, call them.
You could say, well, you can pull out the draw or remove you can pull out this version of draw. So it will give you more properties around. So it’s lamb all the areas and then you can say, well effectively if you’re just looking to highlight around that area there and you apply, it will obviously change the search results and then you can say, well, here’s a new filter search view.
So it’s going to paste that into a new unit, a new straight, new tab and run a filter search. So the reason I’m telling you this is that don’t just use it for yourself and finding your clients properties, whether they’rentals or units for sale, but send them the actual page. It will open on the mobile exactly the same.
So if I go to mobile, which is here and I refresh this page on mobile, you can always show the map. This is the map, it works exactly the same. So you can see these are the units here and you can do exactly the same on mobile as well.
So I’ve exit the draw and I’m just basically just going to draw again. Let’s say I’m going to draw here. It’s not going to let me draw because on my desktop.
So I’m trying to hack this. But the point I’m trying to make is that it works on mobile, on desktop, perfectly fine. So if your clients on mobile you can say, hey, if you’re in a mobile device, use it like this.
If you’re on a desktop device, use it like this. But when you have the URLs, when you’re effectively writing an email so when I’m logging into two FA so when I look into my emails I’m writing an email, just be like, hi Bob. Or you can see my mouth tracks on as well.
And I could just be like, this is a link and I could just take this and add in my own little link which is here, stick this one in and just get this. And this is my filtered link. Right? So use filter links in your emails and it links back to the search base.
If I sent this to you, you’d basically load up exactly where I am. So you could do all the hard work for them, especially if you’re looking for recommendations or if there’s too many options, you can help them to narrow this down using sending links. So 1 second.
I’ve just got this open. And at any point, if you get lost, which I get lost all the time on the website, by doing too many filters, you can just click Reset Search and Reset Search will bring it back to the whole of Bangkok where I was, or if I was in another area, bring it back to whatever area, or else I can start again. So you don’t have to reload the page lots and lots of times.
So that was kind of a very high level in terms of how to use the search. That’s basically it. If you use the filters, use a sorting criteria.
You have the ability to draw maps and you can send these links to your clients. You can basically give them a much filtered view that’s built for them. So we won’t talk about search anymore.
Tomorrow we’re going to look at more detailed pages and how units are different from projects, et cetera, et cetera. So we’ll go further into how to use the platform. So just to kind of summarize what we spoke about, we spoke about search, we spoke about how you can search by all different unit types, property types, regions, locations, BTS stations, whatever you need.
Mobile you can search for near me, which is really, really useful. If you’re walking through the street, you can say, hey, just push near me on your mobile and you’ll pick up all the units around you, which is probably in like a one or 500 meters radius, which is really, really useful as well. We spoke about how to draw, how to add all the filters, how to sort by mainly last Updated, which is the real one you want.
I mean, last updated is probably the most useful one for all of them as well, and how to effectively copy the links and send these to different people because then you can give them a filtered view. So thanks everyone for joining. Just a small reminder again, paul’s running a session at 05:00 P.m.
On Pop Deal. That’s the one you want to be on because obviously you’ll learn everything about Pop Deal and how to really gain the system to get the best leads. So that’s a super one to join.
So just give him respect by joining because he’s going to make time on his side. But thank you everyone, have a great day and I’ll see you tomorrow with some more useful information about how to use the platform. See you later, everyone.
