Pixetell helps Mark Friel get more work done each day. The vice president of Pacific Real Estate Partners in Portland, OR, says Pixetell video capture software has replaced the telephone for many of his transactional communications.
"Sending someone a Pixetell is, in many cases, much better than a phone conversation," he says. "When I need to reference something specific on a document, plan or drawing, it is much easier and clearer to do it with a Pixetell. Being able to capture the cursor movements makes it easy to show someone what you want done."
Friel frequently needs to communicate the same information to several participants in a transaction. Again, Pixetell offers the ideal solution. "Instead of making five phone calls and telling each person essentially the same thing, I send them all a single Pixetell. Everyone gets the same message, and I’ve saved time and money." He also uses it to give remote property tours and updates.
Friel says he generally makes and sends five to 10 Pixetells a week, mostly short screencast recordings of something on his computer, with his commentary accompanying the screencast. "It's a powerful tool," he says. "I'm a big proponent of the product."
As an early adopter of the product, he says it's given him a competitive edge in the real estate market.
"I must admit I was a little upset when one of my competitors asked me about Pixetell," he says. "But I know you can't keep something this good a secret for long."
