In the latest video spotlight, Corey Westphal, president of Mobile Assistant, gives an overview of transcription services offered, addresses quality review of all dictations, and details turnaround expectations for users of the tool.

Redtail Adds Mobile Assistant Integration to Transcribe Notes into CRM

We’re back in our Dallas headquarters, but not for long.

See Bill next week at NAPFA National 2011, then two weeks later at FPA NorCal. If you heard the great feedback about Bill’s session Cultivating Clients in a Connected World at last week’s FPA Retreat, you have a chance to see the session live at FPA NorCal!

Now on with the technology updates.

Redtail Technology, providers of the popular web-based CRM, just announced an integration with Mobile Assistant. This integration allows advisers to use a transcription service to automatically update client records in their Redtail CRM system.

Advisers should have no more excuses about not having time to update records after a client phone call or meeting. Just call up your Mobile Assistant account, dictate your notes, and find them in Redtail the next day.

For all the details on the integration, click here to read the release notes on Redtail’s blog.

Last Chance for a Free Mobile Assistant 30 Day Trial

This is a reminder that today is the last day to submit your name, e-mail, and phone number to receive a free 30 day trial of Mobile Assistant dictation services.

All the details to get the trial are in this post, How To Try Mobile Assistant Free For 30 Days.

How To Try Mobile Assistant Free For 30 Days

We love speaking with advisors about tools and resources they can use to save time and be more productive.

One set of tools that come up frequently are voice-to-text and dictation services. In fact, adopting dictation services is Tip #3 in our eBook on productivity tips for advisors (see below how you can get the eBook for free).

So you want to try and dictate client meeting notes, but don’t yet know what service to use. Or perhaps you identified a service, but the trial period is too short or the recording length is too limited to gain any useful experience.

We’ve teamed up with Mobile Assistant, one of the leading transcription services with a history of serving financial and medical professionals, to give FPPad subscribers free, unlimited use of the service for 30 days. Mobile Assistant’s standard trial is 20 minutes of dictation, so you can get 20,000 times more use out of the service through this offer!
