My most mature senior staff has been with me for 25 years, and she does not embrace change. She&#8217;s even starting to come around and use it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But Dane, at 40 days in I didn&#8217;t think we&#8217;d be as far along as we are. My goal was to eliminate the filing cabinet at 90 days. And I think we may be able to do it 2 weeks earlier, which is rare to<br \/>\never meet a goal like this on time. \u00a0I&#8217;m very happy with the program&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The day after training, 20 agents started sending documents in right away. This shocked me, I had planned to just demo it, but 50% of the agents wanted to start using it the same day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We use the standard Sharp model \u00a0formain scanner for the office, and bought 2 scan snaps, 1 for each secretarial station.<\/p>\n<p>I bought dual monitors for my staff, and this has helped a ton&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I like efficiency, and this makes us MUCH SMOOTHER.<\/p>\n<p>You know, the hole process of turning in paperwork, reviewing paperwork, and letting agents know what is missing takes time&#8230;Paperless Pipeline is greasing the wheels there.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m thinking I should be able to save an hour or two per week of MY time. Plus I can do this from anywhere. I don&#8217;t have to sit couped up in an office. I can knock out 4 or 5 files in 15 minutes from my kitchen counter. I value my time at $90 \/ hour so that&#8217;s $360 in time per hour saved per month!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s nice to work &#8220;on the business&#8221; instead of &#8220;inside&#8221; for a change \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I used to have a 3rd party scanning service that costs more than Paperless Pipeline alone, and I&#8217;ve been able to cancel that.<\/p>\n<p>Being able to download all of my files monthly helps me feel safe about using the system<\/p>\n<p>I also run a title company (which doubles the value of an agent to me). We used to do this crazy thing where we&#8217;d can everything in and burn a CD. And for our agents they&#8217;d have to print all the documents out, so we could send them to be scanned, re-scanned, and put into a CD. It was the stupidest thing in the world, but we had not other way to do it.<\/p>\n<p>And now we&#8217;ve given the title company an email address. So the title company can email the documents into paperlesspipeline.<\/p>\n<p>Now the agent just leaves the closing table with a check to bring back to the office!<\/p>\n<p>The freedom of Paperless Pipeline is incredible!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Al Rowe<br \/>\nABR, CRB, CRP, CRS, e-Pro 500, FSP, GRI<br \/>\nBroker\/Owner<br \/>\nRE\/MAX Advantage<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s what a Michigan office had to say about Paperless Pipeline at around 40 days into using it: &#8220;The freedom of Paperless Pipeline is incredible!&#8221; My average agents age is 56, so I was a little nervous going into this&#8230;&#8221; &hellip; <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/can-56-year-old-agents-use-paperlesspipeline\" class=\"excerpt-continue-reading\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&raquo;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Can 56 Year Old Agents Use Paperless Pipeline? | Paperless Pipeline<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"You bet they can.
