Add a Vendor in Command MC (Leadership)

Today when an associate closes a transaction, several types of assisting business entities are frequently involved. These businesses are entered as vendors into WinMORE to be recorded as either Mortgage or Title. This WinMORE Vendor database is not connected to contacts or agents. Now, Market Center leaders have the ability to build a cloud-based vendor database, in Command MC. You can add the following types of vendors: Mortgage, Home Warranty, Attorney, Broker, Title, Escrow Officer, Insurance, and Inspector. 

When you enter these, you will add the local branch and attach the branch to it's parent company/DBA (brand) name, add key contacts and their contact info, and for some vendors add relevant information like tax IDs.

Soon, agents will be able to use this database to associate vendors with specific Opportunities, which will not only allow for that added info to pull into the Commissions they create and send (Mortgage and Title can then be imported into WinMORE), but will also give us the data to build more powerful strategic alliance reports.
