The Mobile Website Team provides a group of seasoned individuals, who can effectively conduct seminars and classes that will help real estate agents improve their Internet presence by providing the latest in cutting edge technology to those who elect to attend the seminars. Topics covered in the presentation include Website history and effectiveness, modern Website marketing techniques, customer service issues, technical review and discussion, as well as an introduction and demonstration of various Advanced Access products, programs and services currently being offered and available.

An accomplished instructor, speaker, and writer who often receives rave reviews, Jane processes a solid background in sales and Internet marketing, and is extremely knowledgeable in all facets of the industry.

“Naturally, I am very excited about completing all the requirements set-forth by NAR, Internet Crusade and e-PRO, and look forward to integrating what I’ve learned into our presentations that will allow our clients to effectively use all technology tools that enable them to better serve their clients and increase their business.” Ellsworth-Purcell continued, “…when REALTORS® are better educated and prepared to work “on-line,” they are able to enjoy the benefits of an increased Internet presence, which is exactly what our entire product line is designed to provide.”
