Backstop vs. Total Expert

Backstop makes planning and selecting the portfolio efficiently. There is a candid assistance in matters of resource utilization. Moreso, Backstop has a cost accounting notion, which makes the company control the expenses they make. Finally, Backstop has classical research procedures where analysis and decisions arrive after extensive assistance and evaluations.

It is well suited to mass marketing and as a database. Also well suited to parsing the database into sub categories. I also like its ability to schedule marketing at specific times and days. It is not as well suited for listing print material. Listing meaning grabbing from MLS listings.

Backstop support is fantastic. They always pick up the phone without a wait and are highly knowledgeable, I rarely need more than 5 minutes to fix an issue.

I have not used or evaluated any Backstop competitors. Freestone already used Backstop when I started.

Total Expert was chosen by management and for good reason. I didn't like Follow Up Boss because Total Expert was much more intuitive and also much more integrated with the other programs we use (Encompass, Rebel I Q, Sales Boomerang, etc). Its just a much better program overall than Follow Up Boss
