Desktop Sketching with DaVinci
Did you ever wonder why your sketch couldn’t be as easy to do as the rest of your appraisal report? At a la mode we wondered the same thing and our solution was DaVinci Desktop, our new free sketcher that’s built right into WinTOTAL. If you’re tired of wasting time redrawing your entire sketch because of one line you had to change, retracing walls you’ve already drawn to build your second floor, or trying to figure out the exact order your sketcher wants you to draw the first floor, garage, and patio then this is the class for you. In this webinar we show you how to draw and modify sketches in WinTOTAL's packaged DaVinci sketcher. | Register |
DaVinci Mobile Pro — Released
DaVinci Mobile Pro completely revolutionizes the way you do your field inspections. Imagine if you could eliminate the time it takes to re-key your field notes without sacrificing the ease-of-use of your trusty pen and clipboard. That’s exactly what DaVinci Mobile Pro is designed to do. Come see how appraisers are saving up to 20 minutes per report using DaVinci Mobile Pro. | Register |

|
Will
there be CE credit? |
|
No. Our training
courses are constantly evolving. As we add new features and change existing
ones, we have to change our seminars as well. Unfortunately, changing courses
constantly doesn't go over well with the state appraiser boards. You demand
that we offer training that helps you save time and maximize your proficiency.
That's what we're offering. Besides, wouldn't you rather have current training
over current products rather than a course written 8 years ago covering the
same stuff year after year? |
 |
Can I
bring my laptop? |
|
Absolutely. Note,
however that access to power outlets is limited, so make sure that your
laptop's battery is fully charged each day. And, with 200 attendees expected at
each seminar, we may not be able to troubleshoot technical problems during the
session. If you're having a problems, please contact our technical support
department for assistance before you arrive. |
|
I'm
Platinum and I attend for free. Can I bring an associate? |
|
Absolutely. You
can bring an unlimited number of associates for $199 each. |
|
Why
aren't you coming to my city? |
|
We make every
effort to select cities around the country that are easily accessible to a
large majority of our customers. While we'd love to be able to hold seminars in
every major city across the U.S., it's simply not practical or cost effective.
If we're not in your city this year, then look for us next year. We try to mix
it up a little every year. |
|
Why is
there a materials fee? I'm Platinum and I attend for free. |
|
Yes, Platinum
Partners can attend for no charge. However, we purchase materials based on the
number of reserved seats. If you register for the seminar, but fail to attend,
we have to recover our costs for materials and catering. You must cancel at
least 14 days prior to the events to avoid the materials fee. |
The "HOT" is a two-day WinTOTAL course, offered at our
training facility in Orlando. We move at a slower pace while you follow
along on a Windows XP computer. We teach with live software — the same
application you use every day, and your book contains each step of every
lesson.
Whether your business is slammed or slowing down, you can't miss this training
We’ll show you tons of tips and tricks to
streamline your business and shave minutes off of each report using
WinTOTAL. Plus, we'll cover marketing techniques to boost your business no
matter what your local market is doing, and much more. Past attendees
report that they started saving about 30 minutes off each report, freeing up
valuable time to get new clients or crank out more finished reports.
HOTs are great for newer users, and ideal for seasoned vets who'd like a
refresher course on how to save time and be more profitable.
NEW BONUS SESSION:

appraisers in your area. We'll cover how you can capitalize on
