An All-In-One GoTo
I love how robust and on the cutting edge Total Expert makes us. Our Loan Officers have a full fledged marketing suite and tools that are both highly automated, customizable, and more than anything purpose-built for each individual Loan Officer and their needs. We love that if the tool isn't built into the system, there is always a strong suite of third-party partners that are highly integrated and easy to implement. What has set Total Expert apart even years later is the constant support, years into our relationship, we still have a regular meeting cadence where we go over any outstanding issues, future releases, and making sure that we are being able to use the system to accomplish our goals and initiatives. I believe strongly that if we aren't successful or miss a release that is impactful, it is not because we don't have the support and transparency from our TE Team.
CONSThere are a few features that are lacking, or have not been updated in several years - examples of these would be Open House Rate flyers, and the recruiting platform. On the grand scale, very few complaints
Reason for choosing Total Expert
It was all about having the powerhouse of tools that were built to help support a mid-sized purchase minded lender. The fact that there was a high amount of content available that helped add teeth to our small-but-mighty marketing team. We were promised innovation and that there was no intention of being complacent, and years later I can say I still feel that they hold true to that mission.
Reasons for switching to Total Expert
We were looking for a tool that combined all systems and tools into one platform instead of leveraging multiple interfaces, and logins. This has helped us increase our adoption and education about all tools

Total Expert Tech
Overall, Total Expert is one of the best CRM's I have worked with as an Admin and they are always finding new and innovative ways to update he platform and bring the best to our company.
PROSThe system is easy to use. I can pretty much tell my LO's how to navigate the system without me being in it myself. I do trainings on the whole platform when someone new comes on board with our company so I really deep dive into the whole platform and explain each section.
CONSParts that could be better is maybe folders for the admin images library and in that library a selection button to select multiple images to delete. Make assigning or unassigning Journeys easier on our end. Sometimes it is still confusing.
Reason for choosing Total Expert
Total Expert gave us a good deal and promised us some amazing tools that we still use to this day.

Use Total Expert for all your financial marketing needs.
It has been amazing. I love the team we work with, and the ability to add our own collateral/branding. The overall ease of using it makes training easy and marketing almost seamless for those who dive in and get to know the platform.
PROSWhat I like most about this software is that it seems to be the only platform that is structured to specifically be configured to meet the marketing needs of those in the banking/mortgage industry and covers everything: print; email; social; single property sites; lead capture apps; and most importantly syncing/updating financial information.
CONSWhen there is an issue it takes a long time to get it resolved. The updates sometimes cause a problem in a different area of the platform and getting information of how it's being resolved can be challenging, making it difficult to update our users on what's going on and when that functionality will work again.

Always Moving Forward
Total Expert is overall simple to use, especially once you get past year 1. Things start to click in the brain and scenarios start popping in your head and it's very easy to take those ideas and create them. The first year you are there and sometimes feel overwhelmed? That's ok! Their CSM and Customer Support teams are always there to help you! Ive built about 100 different journeys from single follow-up journeys to 40 email complicated journeys with split testing and dynamic content. My CSM was always there for me when I had questions.
PROSFrom creating emails, fliers, or social posts to creating automated campaigns and journeys, Total Expert keeps things organized and easy to use for the common user. It also allows the more advanced users space to create and grow ideas they have. Total Expert continues to improve and are constantly adding to their system.
CONSThe only issue that I have run into is the communication of when something is down or there is a bug. They are getting better at this, but sometimes i feel completely in the dark when there is a server issue or a bug they are working on.
Reason for choosing Total Expert
The ability to customize items per loan officer and allow the loan officer to create their own pieces was a lot easier. Salesforce and Salesforce Marketing Cloud are good, but for the average user, it was not feasible to ask them to understand how it works.

The best CRM on the Market!
I love the level of support they offer. It is a huge task to learn a new software solution, but for LO's it is even harder when you're busy with loans. Total Expert has multiple forms of support including the chat function, help videos, guides and help desk. This shows how much they care about YOUR success. After you go live, they do on-site training's, which are awesome. This is something I haven’t seen other companies do. It’s a chance to navigate the platform with the people who are most knowledgeable about it. They want you to ask as many questions as possible and they take time before, throughout and after the training's to answer any questions. Even after implementation, they provide so much support you almost feel like they are a part of YOUR team. You are assigned a Customer Success Manager, which serves as your direct link to Total Expert. You aren’t left out there by yourself calling a 1-800 number or emailing a customer service email when you have issues or questions.
PROSTotal Expert is actually very easy to use and the UI is simplified compared to a lot of other CRM's. It is 100% mobile friendly so I've shown all my LO's how to get it on their home screen and manage the system from their phones. They are constantly evolving and building on their technology and function as the times change. This ensures they will never become obsolete, they are timeless. They take time to listen to their clients and welcome as much feedback and enhancements as we have to offer.
CONSEverything I've had issues with in the past have been taken care of or enhanced, so I really don't have any cons at this time.

A great all-in-one CRM & Marketing management solution
Overall, It is a very prospective software with great possibilities. I am loving this software for our company because it is bringing great outcomes for our company.
PROSIt helps to boost the marketing process of our company. It automatically manages our customer database & helps us with Email marketing. I have used several Marketing & CRM tools previously but I have found Total expert is a great performer compared to others available. It is helping us to create extra engagement.
CONSThe UI is sometimes faulty & the customer support seems quite slow. Issues arise while updating contacts. I hope they will be fixing it soon. It will require more necessary third-party integration.

Lots to look forward to
A one-stop marketing operations platform that combines a digital and print marketing library, approval workflows and intelligent CRM. It allows us to provide our co-marketing partners with more resources and benefits than simply our great mortgage process alone.
PROSThe scalability and segmentation of our marketing materials is huge for us as we continue to grow. The UI is clean and easy to use and constant enhancements gives me peace about our 3-year contract.
CONSThe technology is still lagging behind a few other competitors, and the turnaround on long-term integrations can be very slow. There are some great improvements on their roadmap, but they seem to be constantly pushed back from original timeframes that are communicated to customers.

TE for Y-O-U!
We absolutely LOVE TE and everything it brings to the table. It has really opened up our tech stack and allowed for seamless end to end automation. Support all the way from our CSM to the actual Support team at TE is absolutely incredible and highly responsive! As of right now, I have yet to have a negative experience with the platform.
PROSTE is the one stop shop for everything CRM, Marketing, Integration and so much more! The possibilities are endless! Seamless API connection to our LOS system allows for instantaneous contact migration and mapping. The ability to create custom automation using their Journey tool is completely amazing. We have been able to integrate almost 98% of our tech stack into TE allowing us to build out quite a comprehensive intelligent automation platform.
CONSAs with any system, you're going to run into your road blocks. Customization of certain features is slightly limited and depended on the TE team to upload templates or alter templates for you etc. Also, this one is so small but continues to be a thorn in our sides; Profile pictures for any user are limited to less than 1MB in file size which is CRAZY small... most cell phone pictures are WAY higher resolution than this. This puts a little bit of a hiccup in account creation as we have to constantly re-size and reduce profile photos so they can be uploaded to TE.

More than just a great CRM
We've had an excellent experience with Total Expert and view them as partners in the success of our company. They are always looking for ways to stay ahead of the competition with their technology and features to give our teams the advantage in the markets we serve.
PROSHaving been an admin for several CRMs, I find Total Expert the most intuitive and easy for our Loan Officers to learn and adopt into their daily routines. There are so may tools available to help them grow their businesses, so any mortgage pro can find features that are the best fit for them. The support teams and our Customer Success Manager, Mike, are always available and quick to respond.
CONSCurrently there isn't a way for us to directly upload marketing assets (flyers) ourselves so we wait a little longer than we prefer to get them live and out to our team, but I understand there is an enhancement coming soon that will fi this. Also looking forward to the enhancements coming that will make building custom emails a little easier for those of us that don't know html code.

Total Expert Marketing and CRM Platform Review
Overall I feel that our team has been able to maximize our efforts with this platform and really improve our realtor/referral partner relationships. By offering so much value in becoming our co-marketing partner we have increased our referrals a good bit. I also really enjoy our customer Representative and his support level he provides to our staff.
PROSI think the software is a great asset to enhance and develop LO realtor relationships which is a huge part of growing any Loan Officer's business. I like the EDDM Function, Single Property Websites, Lead Capture Applications and think these are all great. I also like the Auto-Campaign features of being able to stay in touch with a database proactively with a set it and forget it ease of use.
CONSI believe there could be some adaptations to enable video drip campaigns or have a video library built out in the future, but otherwise I'm pleased with the system overall. The one aspect I would like to see improved is for Drip Campaigns to be more automated in removing a recipient if their status changes from lead to an actual borrower.

If you're looking for the unicorn of CRM technologies... this is it!
I was brought on to the team shortly after implementation of Total Expert, and working with the TE team and software has been nothing short of wonderful. I highly recommend this product!
PROSWhile I appreciate each of the current features, what I value most about Total Expert is that they are always innovating and creating ways to add more value to the platform. Their seasonal releases are a game changer, simply in the fact that they are never complacent with what they currently offer.
CONSThe Email Builder was released with a few quirks. There are workarounds for everything, and it's definitely not a reason to not move forward with Total Expert, but that is what I enjoy least in the platform current state.

TE has great features but many kinks.
I like how this platform is a one-stop-shop for our marketing team. We can easily manage many accounts as an administrator and we have access to many great features. Email campaigns are my most frequently used feature and it is very helpful.
CONSI find that there are many technical difficulties. I work out of this platform 75% of every day, so I find every error in the system. Some days I find that every tab I open has some sort of error that I need to address with support. It can be a time waster to solve so many tech issues.

Great Enterprise Support
It has been great and the ability to phase into LO accounts and troubleshoot problems for them is a huge advantage. Being able to see exactly what they see allows the admin level to support them in a more efficient way.
PROSThe user interface is very easy to navigate and simple to use which is key for LOs. The Customer support that we receive is second to none. Our Customer Success Managers have always gotten us quick responses and consistently see things through to conclusion.

It's great at what it does but hard to use
Love-hate. It takes forever to figure something out and then figure out the shortcuts. It does provide some great materials once you do figure it out. It just takes a lot of man hours, which is unfortunate.
PROSOnce you figure out how to use it, you can create very professional marketing pieces with just a few clicks. This is the most outstanding aspect of it. It's very helpful to have the chat function with a live person to provide help.
CONSYou have to go through all kinds of complicated permissions to create co-branded materials. You're very limited in the ability to edit photos and have to reach out to support for assistance. It is not always intuitive, and there are not readily available job aids to tell you how to do things. It's complicated.

Automate yourself!
I love the automation with Total Expert! It saves us time and money but not having to manually enter data or send out email campaigns. The marketing resources for print and digital marketing also are a huge plus! You don't need a seperate editing software to make flyers or produce digital content.
PROSI like that so many things can be managed by this software. Integrations with our loan origination software makes lead management easy and I also love the marketing tools to print flyers and produce print and digital marketing material.
CONSI think some of the editing tools for flyers could use some tweaking but once you're familiar with the software it really becomes a non issue.
