Builder1440 Named One of Technology’s Hottest Companies for Second Time
Thursday, October 4th, 2007Builder1440, LLC, the home building industry’s leading provider of Internet-based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and sales systems, announced that it was selected for the second time by Constructech Residential Magazine as one of Technology’s Hottest Companies for 2007.
Technology’s Hottest Award presented by Constructech, a leader in identifying technology and automation solutions for the commercial and residential markets, honors companies making the biggest impact within the construction marketplace.
“Builder1440 was selected by the Constructech editors because they have really stood out as a ‘hot’ company this year, despite a cooling market,” explains Peggy Smedley, Editorial Director of Constructech. “Builder1440 understands home builders need innovative software solutions that make their companies more efficient, effective and ultimately more profitable. By partnering with industry leaders and offering reliable products, Builder1440 clearly knows how to help builders seal the deal.”
Builder1440 has established itself as a “hot” company by providing software solutions to hundreds of builders nationwide. In the last 24 months, three of the top 25 home builders looking for CRM chose Sales1440® for national implementation. Sales1440’s success and popularity have given home builders using the software 10% of all US housing starts in 2006.
Sales1440, Builder1440, LLC’s cornerstone software solution, allows home builders to automate the entire sales process, from the time the prospect requests information from a builder’s website or walks into the sales center, to lot and floor plan selection, home configuration, contract generation, loan calculations, change order management and customer relationship management.
In a cooling housing market, Builder1440 has sought to ensure builders can continue to make money. The company teamed up with real estate sales, management and market resource, Bob Schultz, to create a Follow-Through® System for Sales1440. The New Home Specialist Closing Action Plan (CAP) SM Follow-Through® System provides builders with turn-key plans for follow up and appointment setting that ensures constant communication with prospects through targeted marketing.
“New home sales are NOT a function of traffic. They are the result of the correct sales process and Follow-Through®,” notes Bob Schultz, the New Home Specialist. “That’s why we have partnered with Builder1440 to provide the most complete and efficient system for customer contact—a congruent strategy that’s easy to use. We chose to partner with Builder1440 over all the other providers in the industry because of Sales1440’s ease of use and superior CRM capabilities that have proven over time to sell more homes.”
Sales1440 is offered through both License and Application Service Provider (ASP) models, serving both large and small builders. The ASP model is very popular with home builders because it does not require any additional technological investment or expertise on the part of the builders. They can concentrate on building and selling homes and leave technology worries to the Builder1440 experts. Also enticing is the fact that with the ASP model, a new client can be up and running on the system within days.
“It is an honor to have Builder1440 chosen as one of Constructech’s Hottest Technology for the second time,” notes Builder1440 Vice President, Matt McShane. “We strive to offer home builders the best sales solutions so builders can save money through efficiency and mistake prevention while also increasing their sales. We concentrate on what builders need by partnering with other industry leading software companies and industry experts such as Bob Schultz. We will continue to strive to provide the best software and services that enable builders to make more money by preventing errors and increasing sales revenues.”
