“Serviceform will help you get more out of your website. We were able to multiply the number of leads generated via chatbots with Serviceform. That's a meaningful increase for us!”
RE/MAX is a global real estate franchise operating in more than 110 countries. In Finland, RE/MAX has 42 branches with 450 agents working for them.
RE/MAX Finland has been using chatbots and other conversion tools for nearly two years. Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) for RE/MAX Finland, Matias Suhonen, reveals that the reason they switched to Serviceform was because RE/MAX wanted an easy-to-implement and easy-to-use solution.
This is where Serviceform came in. Late summer 2021 saw Serviceform having conversations with RE/MAX about our conversion tools and how we could help them.
The RE/MAX marketing unit has a clear vision when it comes to marketing goals. They have strong brand awareness and reach-related targets, but Matias said generating leads and the cost per lead was one of their most important KPIs.
Our goal was to give them a tool that increased their lead generation while being easy to use on their end. So we built a context-driven chatbot for their homepage. This meant visitors could easily learn more about buying and selling properties through RE/MAX.
With our contextual chatbot, we’re able to take listing descriptions as well as an agent's image and contact details to personalise the RE/MAX chatbot on each property listing page – making their customers feel like they're talking to the actual agent.
To streamline RE/MAX’s lead routing process, we also built an automated system through which the bot filters all leads by postcode and sends them to the appropriate agent in the relevant area.
Matias said that one of the biggest pros of switching to Serviceform was how easy to use the tools were. He said from just playing around with the chatbot, he was able to start implementing even more conversion tools in time for seasonal campaigns, such as smart popups, leadbars, and dynamic forms.
The RE/MAX chatbot was installed in September 2021 and within 8 months of installation, they’ve multiplied their lead generation.
Matias said that the three biggest pros of Serviceform compared to their previous tools were easy implementation, good customer service, and having all the tools in one place.
“Serviceform is a combination of good support, easy-to-use tools, and quick response time.” Matias said.
RE/MAX was also able to reduce their workload by 10x because they no longer had to manually sort leads and forward them to the appropriate agents. Our tool had an in-built feature to automatically do that job for them.
Matias added that the easy-to-use nature of Serviceform tools was their biggest attraction. He said that after only one training session, he was given tool admin access and was able to intuitively play around with it, figuring out most things by himself. Whatever he needed help with, our friendly customer success managers were there to assist him.
RE/MAX, short for Real Estate Maximums, is a global real estate company operating in more than 110 countries. Operating as a franchise company, RE/MAX was founded in January 1973 by Dave and Gail Liniger.
RE/MAX landed in Finland in 2006, and now there are more than 400 RE/MAX employees in the country. RE/MAX operates in more than 40 locations across Finland.
RE/MAX deals mainly in buying and selling properties and rentals. The company was founded on a concept of maximum commission, meaning agents would keep nearly all of their commission while paying their broker a share for office expenses – rather than a share of commission on each sale.
