We also have international customers in countries such as Australia, South Africa, and Germany.

Who are your main competitors and how does Top Producer differ from them?Top Producer has been the leading software company in the real estate market for several years. Some applications can be considered competition, yet they don’t compete with us in the same space. Microsoft Outlook was a key competitor for years. Our recent release of the popular Outlook Connector (leveraging an agent’s Outlook contacts in Top Producer 7i) has, however, significantly reduced their challenge. Other real estate solutions exist in the market, but no one has come close to the functionality of Top Producer 7i.
Top Producer products are designed by entrepreneurs who were real estate agents. They understand the market and its customers. We pride ourselves in designing applications and connectivity to meet the latest industry demands, by listening closely to our customers’ feedback.
Top
What marketing channels are being used?Top Producer markets in a variety of ways including product brochures, mail-outs, website and email marketing, magazine and print ads, industry trade shows, and in-person office visits. These efforts drive business to different sales areas of our company including Inside Sales, Outside Sales, Independent Agents and our on-line store.
