Creating a Request
The process for creating a request is not only uniform across the entire site, it's pretty much the same steps for each individual asset as well. Once you learn it, you'll never forget! The case request pages all look something like this:
​The best way to understand it is in three sections:
-
The “Highlight Panel” on top, where you have all your key information about the request
-
The “Request Detail Panel” on the left, where you enter in all the key information about this request
-
Your “Chatter Feed" on the right, where all communication around this request happens
The “[Postcard] Information” tab is where you fill out all your collateral details. Double click any of the fields to edit, and don't forget to save your work!
If your request involves images, you can choose the template and images you want to use directly from the case request page. At the bottom of the detail panel on the left side, you'll see an area that says "Select Template and Images"
Once you select a template and click "Use this Template" the images associated with this listing will appear. Beneath each image, you will have the option to select a number. That number lets the staff know what order to place the images on your request, which corresponds to the templates. Don't forget to save your selection by clicking the save button!
Managing My Requests
Welcome to your request management center. Here, you will be able to track every single request that you make on Maia!
The “Owner Name” indicates who is handling this request. When you make a request, it will automatically go into a Queue for your office. That allows our team to effectively manage all the requests from each office. As soon as a staff member starts working on that request, they will Accept the case and you will see their name appear.
The “Status” indicates the status of the request. As soon as someone accepts your request, they will change the status to “In Progress” and you will receive a notification.
Print Requests
Print Requests is where you make all your - yep, you guessed it - print marketing requests. There is a tile for everything our company offers, and we've taken the opportunity to refine the process on some of the standard workflows. For example, to send a letter of solicitation, you now request that here under "Letter Mailing" instead of going through your admins.
If you have a request that doesn't quite fit one of the descriptions, you can submit a "Custom Print Request" in the corresponding tile. The staff will be able to switch the request type for you if there is a better fit.
Once you make a request, you can manage revisions and check the status in the "Manage My Requests" center, accessed through the nav bar or the tile in the Marketing Center.
Digital Requests
Digital Requests will connect you with the right marketing staff to handle your digital requests.
Through the digital center, we can help manage your social media, provide analytics reports for ads, assist with email newsletter blasts and broker open house tours, and update your online web information, and more!
Media & Vendors
The Media & Vendor component is a big step forward for agents when it comes to efficiency and improving turnaround times. From now on, BHS vendors will receive requests through Maia. That means when you're requesting photography and virtual staging, you will be communicating directly with our vendors.
​
This makes a big difference when doing revisions on things like virtual staging and coordinating photography. The marketing team will be overseeing the process from afar to make sure nothing falls through the cracks, but ultimately we want you to have full control over your assets.
