Transforming in-house virtual office into a lead-generating machine
ERA has developed a lead generation tool that would enable its salespersons to cut through the clutter and gain valuable information on potential sellers.
It will be pulling statistics from multiple data points such as Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and Housing and Development Board (HDB); generating big data into strategic reports that are useful and tangible for its salespersons.
Accessed via the agency’s internal iERA mobile application, currently, in its seventh version, ERA salespersons can generate lists of past profitable transactions by filtering data, based on set criteria such as dates, districts, types of development, profitable transaction count and minimum profit percentage etc., anytime anywhere.
In its first phase, the lead generation tool is able to generate business leads for these key target groups of sellers:
- Resale condominium owners, who are sitting on profit
- Owners of Built-to-order (BTO) projects nearing Minimum Occupation Period (MOP)
- Owners of Executive Condominiums (EC) nearing Minimum Occupation Period (MOP)
- Owners of condominiums that have hit Temporary Occupation Period (TOP)
- Profitable Resales

Optimisation of Resources: ERA “Tagger On-Demand”
In the same vein, the agency revealed another digital initiative for their salespersons to facilitate their work processes.
Introducing ERA “Tagger On-Demand”, an in-app tool that allows salespersons to request for the presence of project specialists at respective show flats, just by the click of a button.
This is a far cry from the traditional way of reaching out to project specialists by phone calls and text messages.
