Podio

Mm-hmm.

Right? We got our first CRM, Podio.

Um, we ended up then throwing money into, like, PPC ads, which used-

Yeah

...

I really mean that.

Because we made our first million dollars in revenue, right? Without a website, without a real CRM, right? Um, before we transitioned to Podio, we were using Mojo Sales as our CRM.

Yeah.

I didn't know that we were even using a white label version for our clients before.

We were using Podio, which is an old CRM, and as well as Infusionsoft.

And when I saw High Level the first time, I was so amazed because finally I can do everything in one place.

'Cause in the past, like if you have Infusionsoft, you have to use other platforms to make phone calls, to send text message.

Well, not even the builder itself.

We use it to render websites on Podio.

We also sprinkle it in for our text editor.

Well, I also might have built an entire email sending platform that sends emails in React, but...

It's an all-in-one phone system that's been built for real estate investors and connects to 11 of the top real estate investment CRMs.

And really, it came about because I had been, myself and my co-founders, had been building systems for investors, right? We'd been knee-deep building CRMs for them in a system called Podio, if you're familiar with that.

And we'd been doing that, and we'd sort of seen the problems and a perfect storm happened where I felt there was a need for a phone system.

There wasn't one that was connected to Podio.

I met my co-founders who were very technical and I said, I remember Vlad saying to me, we should work together.

And I said, I got an idea for a phone system.

I mean, so we started using RE Simply when it first launched back in 2020.

When we first joined Brian Dossi's group, everyone was still using Podio.

We set up Podio for like a month.

And then like the month later, he started promoting RE Simply, right? And so we switched over to that.

And so we have six years of development with this thing.

We also have very clear descriptions of what his division for home looks like, what the division for friendships and work and all sorts of other things.

And that's really strongly documented and we've got it on our team and board collaboration tool called Podio.

And we talk about it all the time and we share it all the time.

And so people are very aware of what it is and what we're trying to do and why we're trying to do it.

And he's terrified and anxious and just wants to run out the front door.

So it's scary when he has to go to hospital, very scary.

So we have his health directive and how he likes to be supported in hospital and what he hates and what he likes all written down on Podio, our collaboration tool.

So if a support worker needs to take him in, then it's all there and they can share it with the hospital.
