All the agents in the crib…drop it like it’s hot!

Turn up your mobile real estate bizzle with these 2 hot tools.

Dropcard - Send your business card from your phone to your new clients using SMS!

Dropcard lets you create a virtual business card that can be easily emailed to anyone you meet using your phone. Whether it’s a new client or friend, you can immediately send them your name, email address, phone number, LinkedIn profile, Twitter ID, blog address, website, or anything else you’d like to include. Your dropcard will arrive instantly in the recipient’s email with a vCard attached, so they can import your contact information into their address book.

Dropcard allows you to create 2 business card profiles for free (ex:  one for business and one for pleasure). However, the free version limits the number of contacts you can send to (only 15 per month). Perfect option for giving Dropcard a try.  But if you’re planning to adopt this paper free technology as a regular business practice, then you should consider upgrading to Dropcard Premium or Elite.

With the upgraded service, you have access to additional features such as: (1) branding your Dropcard with your logo or image, (2) attaching files and important documents, and (3) Dropcard statistics. With Dropcard Premium, you can send up to 100 virtual cards per month and create up to 20 business card profiles. Dropcard Elite is your unlimited option, so send freely! Premium will run you $4.99 a month, and Elite is $9.99 a month. Click here to learn more about how Dropcard works.

MTO readers are in luck, because the first 10 commenters who leave me their twitter username below (ex: @nik_nik) will receive a Premium membership from Dropcard!

Dropsend - Store and send large files to your clients!

With DropSend, you can send large files (up to 1 GB) to your clients quickly and securely. There is no software to install, it works on both Mac and PC systems, and you can store up to 250 MB for free! DropSend offers a variety of plans ranging from $5 to $99 for the Business Plan. Obviously, the more you pay, the more you get.  If you find yourself sending several important documents to your clients, then I would consider DropSend Pro or Business. With these upgraded plans you can send unlimited files and utilize some serious storage.

So whether you are adopting greener business practices or just tired of real estate files taking over your garage, DropSend has a plan to keep you organized, secure, and efficient!  Oh, and you can always start with the free plan and upgrade later.
