John's Workshop — Agent Resource Guide
John's Workshop is the proprietary technology platform built exclusively for Adams Cameron agents, staff, and leadership. Accessible at johnadams.org, it brings together a suite of tools that help you prospect for new business, market listings, serve buyers, stay connected with past clients, manage operations, and grow your skills — all in one place.
Whether you're preparing a listing presentation, calculating contract deadlines, generating a market report, or building a business plan, John's Workshop has a tool for it. Many tools are powered by AI (specifically Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant) and connect directly to DeltaNet, Form Simplicity, the MLS systems, and other platforms you already use.
How the Workshop Is Organized
The Workshop is divided into six sections based on what you're trying to accomplish:
- Find New Prospects — Tools to build your pipeline and visibility
- Listing Marketing — Tools to market properties and manage listing activity
- Buyer Assistance — Tools to support buyer transactions
- Maintain Relationships — Tools to stay connected after the close
- Learn and Find Help — Coaching, training, and support resources
- Office & Operations — Back-office and management tools
Section 1: Find New Prospects
These tools help agents generate leads, build their online reputation, and put themselves in front of more potential clients.
Floor Time
What it does: Floor Time is the scheduling system for managing office duty shifts. Staff and managers use it to configure shifts and available time slots, set which agents are eligible to take floor time, collect agent availability preferences, and publish finalized monthly schedules directly to Google Calendar.
Who uses it: Primarily office managers and staff who build the schedule, and agents who submit their availability and view their assigned shifts.
When to use it: At the beginning of each month when floor duty schedules are being built, or whenever you need to check or update your floor time assignments.
Common Questions
- How do I sign up for floor time?
Log into the Workshop and go to Floor Time under Find New Prospects. Submit your availability for the month. - Where do I see my floor time schedule?
Once published, schedules are pushed to Google Calendar. You can also view them in the Floor Time tool.
Upcoming Listings & Buyer Needs
What it does: This tool lets agents submit upcoming listings (properties not yet on the MLS) and active buyer needs (clients looking for a specific type of property) so they appear on the Adams Cameron Hotsheet for all agents to see.
Who uses it: Any agent who has a new listing coming soon or a buyer actively looking for a property.
When to use it: As soon as you have a listing agreement signed for a property that isn't live yet, or when you have a buyer client with specific needs you'd like to broadcast company-wide.
Common Questions
- What is a "buyer need"?
It's a brief description of what your buyer client is looking for (e.g., "Buyer needs 3BR/2BA in Port Orange under $350K, cash, quick close"). Posting it lets other agents know to reach out if they have a match. - Where do submissions show up?
On the Adams Cameron Hotsheet, which all agents receive daily.
Agent Bio Creator & Updater
What it does: This AI-powered tool generates a professional biography for you based on your answers to a short questionnaire. It produces polished, natural-language bios suitable for your Adams Cameron website profile and your DeltaNet agent profile. You can also use it to update an existing bio.
Who uses it: Any agent who needs a professional bio written or updated. New agents should use this as one of their first steps.
When to use it: When you join Adams Cameron, when your experience or credentials change (new designations, years in business milestones, changed specialty areas), or when your current bio feels stale.
- Go to Agent Bio Creator & Updater in the Workshop.
- Answer the questionnaire — questions about your background, specialties, geographic areas, designations, personal details, and what makes you unique.
- The AI generates a professional bio. You can edit, regenerate, or approve it.
- Once approved, the bio can be pushed to your DeltaNet profile.
Common Questions
- Do I have to use the bio the AI writes?
No. The AI provides a starting point. You can edit it to sound more like you before finalizing. - What if my bio is already good?
You can still use the tool to update individual sections or refresh the language.
Agent Photo Updater
What it does: Allows agents to upload a new professional profile photo and push it directly to their DeltaNet account. Optionally, AI enhancement effects can be applied — options include a polished professional look (clean background, improved lighting), a beach scene, or a caricature style.
Who uses it: Any agent who needs to update their headshot or add a DeltaNet profile photo.
When to use it: When you get new professional photos, or when your current photo is outdated.
- Upload your photo in the tool.
- Optionally choose an AI enhancement style.
- Preview the result and confirm.
- The updated photo is pushed to your DeltaNet profile.
Common Questions
- What photo format works best?
A clear headshot with good lighting. Higher resolution is better. - Is the AI enhancement required?
No, it's optional. You can upload and push your original photo without any AI changes.
Online Presence Audit
What it does: Uses AI (Claude) to evaluate an agent's overall online presence across multiple dimensions: social media activity and consistency, online reviews (Google, Zillow, Realtor.com, etc.), platform profile completeness, local SEO performance, AI search visibility (how you appear in ChatGPT and similar AI tools), brand consistency, and compliance with real estate advertising rules.
Who uses it: Agents who want to understand and improve how they show up online. Managers can also use it to audit agents they coach.
When to use it: Periodically (quarterly or annually) as part of a business review, or when an agent is working to improve their lead generation and visibility.
What you get: A scored assessment with specific findings and actionable recommendations for each area.
Common Questions
- What does "AI search visibility" mean?
It means how well you show up when someone asks an AI assistant (like ChatGPT or Gemini) "who's a good real estate agent in Daytona Beach?" This is increasingly important as more consumers use AI tools to find local services. - Is this audit automatic or does someone review it?
The audit is AI-generated based on publicly available information. It's a self-service tool. - My team markets under a team name. Which audit should I run?
Use the Team tab. It audits the team brand, the team website, and every member together, which is what the public actually sees when your personal site redirects to the team's. Team results are compared with other teams, not with individual agents. See Working as a Team.
DeltaNet Profile Audit
What it does: Scores how completely an agent's DeltaNet profile is filled out compared to company benchmarks. It checks for a profile photo, biography, designations/certifications listed, reviews collected, lead capture settings, and other completeness factors.
Who uses it: Individual agents checking their own profile, and managers reviewing their agents' DeltaNet presence.
When to use it: When onboarding, after making profile updates, or as part of any profile improvement initiative.
Common Questions
- How does this differ from the Online Presence Audit?
The DeltaNet Profile Audit is specifically focused on your DeltaNet profile completeness. The Online Presence Audit looks at your broader internet footprint across many platforms. - What score should I be aiming for?
The audit shows the company benchmark. You should aim to meet or exceed it.
Hold an Open House Beta
What it does: Hosting an open house is an opportunity to market to your sphere, put your name in front of buyers, and bring in new prospects. This tool shows every listing other agents have made available to hold open, lets you reserve a date, and then guides you with a dated plan: telling your sphere, advance signage, letting the neighbors know, printing and packing, running the open house, and following up. The visitors you meet are yours.
Who uses it: Any agent who wants to host — no production minimum, and no limit on how many you hold. Listing agents hosting their own listing use Open House Listing Manager instead (same plan).
When to use it: Ideally at least 5 days before the open house, so there's time for social posts and signs. Shorter notice is fine — steps whose dates have passed show as catch-up tasks due today.
- Find a listing. On the Find a listing tab, filter by date, city, price, beds or type. Each listing shows its photo, price, listing agent, any notes for the host, and its available dates.
- Pick one or more dates. Times default to the window the listing agent allows (usually 1–4 pm); you can shorten them within it.
- Check your plan. Before you confirm, you see every step with its real due date.
- Reserve. The date is yours (nobody else can take it), the listing agent is emailed to enter the open house in the MLS and set you as showing agent in DeltaNet, and you land on the open house's plan page.
- Add it to your Google Calendar. One button puts the open house on your calendar plus a short reminder for each step, with its checklist and how-to link. Nothing goes on the listing agent's calendar.
- Work the plan. Tick off checklists, mark steps done or skip them, and use the How to and DeltaNet links on each step. The page also checks DeltaNet and shows when the open house is in the MLS and when you've been set as the showing agent.
- Use the drafts. On Tell your sphere, write Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn posts in your own voice (and optional theme ideas); on Let the neighbors know, a courtesy note to print with a DeltaNet flyer. They're drafts — edit before you use them.
- Afterwards: enter every sign-in in DeltaNet the same day and set them up for Open House Campaign, then fill in the short wrap-up — how many came, how they heard, what they said. It goes to the listing agent as a report.
Common Questions
- Where are my open houses?
The My open houses tab lists your upcoming and past open houses with how much of each plan is done and what's next. Agent Hub shows them too, under Open houses you're hosting. - Can I hold more than one day?
Yes — pick several dates at once. A second consecutive day usually draws better on both days. Each date gets its own plan. - I need to change the date.
On the plan page, choose Reschedule: the old date is cancelled and you pick a new one. Work you already did that doesn't depend on the date carries over. - I can't make it.
Choose Cancel open house and give a reason; the listing agent is emailed and the date opens up again. Then use Remove from my calendar to clear the reminders. - The listing went pending before my open house.
You and the listing agent each get an email asking "hold it anyway?" or cancel. Nothing is cancelled until one of you decides. - The listing agent withdrew my date.
You're emailed, the open house is cancelled, and the email has a link to remove it from your calendar. - Do I need my own signs?
Signs and supplies are the host's job — ask your office if you need help.
Section 2: Listing Marketing
These tools help you market properties more effectively, handle MLS data efficiently, and give listings a competitive edge.
Comprehensive Market Update
What it does: Generates a full market analysis report from MLS data exports. Upload active listing and sold listing data exported from your MLS, and the tool produces a professional market report including days on market (DOM), absorption rate, price per square foot, list-to-sale price ratios, and other key metrics.
Who uses it: Listing agents preparing for seller presentations, agents working with investor clients, and managers who produce periodic market updates.
When to use it: Before listing presentations, when preparing quarterly market updates for your sphere, or any time a client asks "how's the market?"
- Export active and sold listing data from your MLS (Daytona or Stellar).
- Upload the export files in the Comprehensive Market Update tool.
- The tool processes the data and generates the report.
- Download or share the finished market analysis.
Common Questions
- What MLS export format does it accept?
It's designed to work with standard Daytona MLS and Stellar MLS export formats. Follow the export instructions in the tool. - Can I run reports for a specific neighborhood or price range?
Yes, by filtering your MLS export before uploading. The tool analyzes whatever data you provide.
MLS Magic
What it does: Solves the double-MLS challenge for Adams Cameron agents. It reads listings from one MLS system (either Daytona MLS or Stellar MLS) and automatically fills in the data entry fields for the other system, eliminating the need to manually re-enter listing data twice.
Who uses it: Listing agents who enter listings into both the Daytona MLS and Stellar MLS systems.
When to use it: Any time you're entering a new listing or updating an existing one that needs to be in both MLS systems.
Common Questions
- Does it post to both MLS systems automatically?
It cross-references and auto-fills the data entry sheet. Review and confirm before finalizing submissions. - Note on connectivity: If there's a DeltaNet connectivity issue, MLS Magic may have limited functionality. Check the Workshop status notice.
Cameron's Lens
What it does: An AI tool that takes your existing listing information and enhances the property description. It produces more compelling, buyer-focused listing copy and suggests specific photo improvements to make the listing more attractive online.
Who uses it: Listing agents who want stronger property descriptions and more effective photography guidance.
When to use it: When entering a new listing, refreshing a stale listing, or before a price reduction to re-energize buyer interest.
- Enter (or paste) your current listing details — address, bedrooms, baths, features, price, etc.
- Cameron's Lens generates an enhanced description.
- It also provides photo suggestions specific to the property type and features.
- Copy the enhanced description into your MLS listing.
Common Questions
- Can I edit the AI-generated description?
Yes, and you should. The AI output is a strong starting point; add your personal knowledge of the property and neighborhood. - What kind of photo suggestions does it give?
Specific recommendations like "shoot the kitchen from the doorway to show the full depth," "capture the tree line view from the primary bedroom," or "include a twilight exterior shot."
Cameron's Stage
What it does: Creates a virtual property tour, including an AI-generated custom song for the property. The output is a shareable tour link you can add to your MLS listing or post on social media.
Who uses it: Listing agents looking to differentiate their listings with creative, shareable content.
When to use it: For any listing where you want to stand out — especially higher-value listings, unique properties, or any market where competition for buyers is intense.
What you get: A virtual tour link that can be embedded in MLS listings and shared across social platforms.
Common Questions
- What is the AI-generated song?
The tool creates an original, property-specific musical jingle or theme song as part of the tour experience. It's a memorable differentiator. - Does it replace professional photography?
No. Cameron's Stage works best when you already have good photos. It enhances and packages them into a tour experience.
Open House Listing Manager Beta
What it does: Lets you offer your listings to be held open by other agents. You can't hold every listing open yourself; your seller gets the exposure and so do you. You mark the dates each listing is available on a calendar, other agents reserve them from Hold an Open House, and you get a short report after each one. The host keeps the visitors they meet; you get the report.
Who uses it: Listing agents, for their Active and Coming Soon listings in Daily Desk. Team leaders see their teammates' listings too.
When to use it: As soon as a listing is ready to be shown. Coming Soon listings can have dates set in advance; open houses can be reserved once the listing is Active.
- Open the tool. Each listing shows its photo, price and status, plus a one-line summary: dates available, who has reserved, or the last open house's results.
- Click Set availability on a listing to open its calendar.
- Select dates by tapping them, or use a quick pick: Every day this month, Every day, next 90 days, Weekends this month, Saturdays or Sundays. Dates that already have an open house are left out of the quick picks.
- Set the times (1–4 pm by default), then Mark available. You can also Mark not available, or Clear dates back to not offered.
- Optionally add Notes for the host — for example, "Back door key is on the counter, highlight the views."
The calendar colors each date: green for available, gray for not available, blue for reserved (with the host's first name), and gold for dates you're hosting yourself. Reserved dates are listed under the calendar with a link to each open house's plan page.
Common Questions
- Can I hold my own listing open?
Yes. Select the dates and click I'll host it myself. You get the same plan and reminders as any host, as both listing agent and host (up to 14 dates at a time). - Can I make a listing available every day?
Yes — Every day, next 90 days selects every date for the next three months; set the times and click Mark available. To keep it open longer, come back and do it again before the dates run out. - Do I need my seller's approval in the tool?
No. You decide which dates work for your seller; there's no separate approval step. - A reserved date no longer works.
Select it and choose Mark not available. You'll be asked to confirm and can give the host a reason; the open house is cancelled and the host is notified. Other dates and hosts aren't affected. A reserved date's times can't be changed — withdraw it, or ask the host to reschedule. - What happens if the listing goes pending?
Recorded in Daily Desk, the listing comes off availability automatically, and for any scheduled open house you and the host are each asked "hold it anyway?" or cancel. - What's in the report?
How many visitors came, how many were serious prospects, how they heard about it, and what they said about price, condition and layout — no names or contact details. Pass it on to your seller. - Can I see it from Agent Hub?
Yes. Each active listing card shows its open house status; click it to jump straight to that listing's calendar.
Lockbox Manager
What it does: Tracks the company's lockbox inventory across all offices. Records check-in and check-out of individual lockboxes by serial number, the agent they're assigned to, and the property they're on.
Who uses it: Primarily office staff and managers who manage the physical lockbox inventory. Agents can check their assigned lockboxes.
When to use it: When checking out a lockbox for a new listing, returning a lockbox after a closing, or auditing current lockbox inventory.
Common Questions
- How do I get a lockbox for my listing?
Contact your office. Staff will check it out to you in the Lockbox Manager and record it to your name. - What happens if I lose a lockbox?
Report it to your office immediately so it can be flagged in the system.
ACC Binder
What it does: Accepts an uploaded contract or listing packet (a single PDF with multiple forms) and uses AI to automatically split it into its individual component forms, then uploads those individual forms directly to Form Simplicity.
Who uses it: Transaction coordinators, listing agents, and buyer's agents who need to upload contracts to Form Simplicity.
When to use it: Any time you receive a contract or packet as a single PDF and need to get the individual forms into Form Simplicity quickly and accurately.
Common Questions
- What types of documents can I upload?
Florida FAR/BAR residential purchase contracts, listing packets, and similar multi-form real estate documents. - Does it always identify the forms correctly?
The AI is trained on standard Florida real estate forms. For unusual or heavily modified documents, review the splits before finalizing.
Contract Date Calculator
What it does: Calculates all important due dates in a Florida FAR/BAR residential purchase contract automatically. Enter key dates from the contract and it instantly produces a complete timeline — inspection period end date, earnest money deposit deadlines, financing contingency dates, title commitment deadline, closing date, and more.
Who uses it: Agents, transaction coordinators, and anyone managing an active contract.
When to use it: As soon as a contract is executed (both parties signed). This should be one of the first things you do when a sale goes under contract.
- Enter the contract execution date, effective date, and other key dates from the contract.
- Enter the number of days specified for each contingency period.
- The calculator produces a full date timeline accounting for weekends and holidays per Florida contract rules.
- Under Link to a transaction, pick the deal (it's usually picked for you from the MLS# or address), then Save & Share. The dates then also appear on your client's Customer Portal.
Common Questions
- Does it handle both calendar days and business days?
Yes. The calculator applies the correct day-counting method for each deadline as specified in the FAR/BAR contract. - What if my contract has non-standard addenda with different deadlines?
The calculator handles standard FAR/BAR timelines. For unusual addenda, you may need to calculate those dates manually.
Adams Cameron Hotsheet
What it does: Generates the daily activity report for Adams Cameron agents. Shows new listings that came on the market, properties that went under contract, closings that occurred, price changes, upcoming open houses, and submitted buyer needs — all filtered to Adams Cameron activity.
Who uses it: All agents. Also staff and managers.
When to use it: Daily. The Hotsheet is how you stay on top of what's happening in your market and within the company.
Common Questions
- When is the Hotsheet published?
Daily, typically in the morning. - Can I submit something to appear on the Hotsheet?
Yes. Use the Upcoming Listings & Buyer Needs tool to submit content for Hotsheet inclusion.
Section 3: Buyer Assistance
The Buyer Assistance section shares three tools with Listing Marketing, as they serve both sides of a transaction:
- ACC Binder — Split and upload buyer-side contracts to Form Simplicity
- Contract Date Calculator — Calculate all FAR/BAR due dates for purchase contracts
- Adams Cameron Hotsheet — Monitor daily market activity to find properties for buyers
Section 4: Maintain Relationships
These tools help you stay connected with past clients and participate in company community initiatives.
Review Engine Manager / Staff
What it does: Manages the post-closing review request process. Tracks the full funnel of review requests — who was sent a request, who clicked the link, and who completed a review. Also tracks A/B test results across different email template variants so you can see which messaging gets more reviews, and monitors monthly review targets.
Who uses it: Agents who want to systematically collect online reviews, and managers tracking team review performance.
When to use it: After every closing. A consistent review strategy is one of the highest-ROI activities an agent can do.
Common Questions
- How do I send a review request?
The Review Engine manages the outreach. Follow the prompts after entering your closed client's information. - What platforms does it request reviews for?
The tool is designed to drive Google reviews, with options for other platforms. - What's the A/B testing feature?
The tool tests different request email templates and shows you which version gets more reviews so you can optimize your outreach over time.
Adams Cameron Foundation
What it does: Provides agents and staff a window into the Adams Cameron Foundation — the company's charitable giving initiative. Shows office-by-office participation statistics, provides information about the Foundation's partner charities, and allows you to manage your own donation pledge.
Who uses it: Any agent or staff member who participates in or wants to learn about the Adams Cameron Foundation.
When to use it: To set up or update your donation pledge, to see how your office is participating, or to learn about the charities the Foundation supports.
Common Questions
- How do I set up a donation pledge?
Log into the Workshop and go to Adams Cameron Foundation under Maintain Relationships. Follow the pledge setup steps. - Is participation required?
No. The Foundation is a voluntary giving initiative.
Customer Portal Beta
What it does: Gives your buyers and sellers their own page about their home with Adams Cameron. They see you front and centre (photo, call, text, email), where their deal stands and what's next, and the details that matter at each stage:
- On the market: links to the listing on adamscameron.com and on your website, the MLS boards it's on, price and days on market, price changes, upcoming open houses, the virtual tour and how many times it's been viewed, and the marketing plan.
- Under contract: contract and expected closing dates, and the deadlines from the Contract Date Calculator.
- After closing: the sale details, buttons to leave you a review, any Foundation gift made in their honor, and a "refer a friend" link to you.
Where to find it: open Customer Portal from the Tools page (Maintain Relationships) or the Agent Hub menu. It lists every customer you've represented who has an email on file — closed deals too — and shows whether they've opened their page. For each one:
- Preview opens their page exactly as they see it (it isn't saved in your browser).
- Copy link copies their personal link to text or email them. It's the same link every time you copy it.
- Revoke stops a link that went to the wrong person; the next copy makes a new one.
The same Preview and Copy buttons are on each listing or contract in Agent Hub. Customers can also request their own link at johnadams.org/portal.html with the email on their deal.
Common Questions
- My customer says the portal can't find them.
Their email needs to be on the deal in Daily Desk. Ask your office to add it, then have them try again or send them your link. - Can the other side of the deal see it?
No. Customers only ever see deals where we represent them. - I sent the link to the wrong person.
Click Revoke next to that customer in Customer Portal; the next link you copy is a new one.
Section 5: Learn and Find Help
These resources support your professional growth, help you learn the Adams Cameron system, and give you channels to get help when you need it.
AC Pathfinder
What it does: AC Pathfinder is the agent coaching and business planning hub. It helps you build a 12-month business plan tailored to your goals, tracks your weekly progress against that plan, facilitates check-ins, and keeps you connected with your coach.
Who uses it: All agents, especially those participating in Adams Cameron's coaching programs. New agents should engage with Pathfinder early in their career.
When to use it: At the start of the year (or when you join) to set your annual business plan, and then weekly to check in on progress.
What you can do in Pathfinder:
- Set annual production goals (listings, buyer sides, GCI)
- Build a weekly activity plan (calls, appointments, open houses)
- Log weekly activity results
- Complete scheduled coach check-ins
- View your progress vs. plan over time
Common Questions
- Do I need a coach to use Pathfinder?
The business planning and progress tracking features are available to all agents. Coaching check-in features are most useful if you have an assigned coach. - What if I don't know what goals to set?
Your manager or coach can help you set realistic goals based on your experience level and market.
Agent Recognition Quiz
What it does: A photo-based identification game that helps agents and staff learn to recognize their Adams Cameron colleagues by face. A photo is shown and you choose the correct name from four options.
Who uses it: New agents learning the Adams Cameron team, and anyone who wants to strengthen their knowledge of colleagues across offices.
When to use it: During onboarding, or any time you want to sharpen your recognition of company colleagues — especially useful before company events or large meetings.

Who uses it: Any agent or staff member who finds a bug, has an idea for a new tool or feature, or wants to see what improvements are in progress.
When to use it: Any time a tool isn't working as expected, or when you have an idea that would make the Workshop more useful.

- What happens after I submit feedback?
Items are reviewed by the team. You can track the status in the tool. Other users can vote on your request, which influences prioritization. - Who do I contact for urgent technical problems?
For urgent issues affecting your work, contact the office directly at (386) 253-8044 in addition to submitting a Feedback report.
Staff Reference Guide Manager / Staff
What it does: A step-by-step how-to guide for internal staff covering the operations tools. Specifically covers the Daily Desk (managing daily office operations), Market Notices (publishing market update communications), Floor Time (scheduling and managing floor duty), and Lockbox Manager (inventory tracking).
Who uses it: Office staff and managers who operate these systems day-to-day.
When to use it: During training, when onboarding a new staff member, or as a reference when handling an unfamiliar situation in any of these tools.
Open Staff Reference Guide →Section 6: Office & Operations
These tools support the management and operational side of Adams Cameron. Most are primarily used by managers and staff, though several are useful for all agents.
Agent Roster
What it does: A searchable directory of Adams Cameron agents, office management teams, and featured service partners — including Title, Mortgage, Association, and Property Management partners. The Roster is mobile-installable, meaning you can save it to your phone's home screen for quick access.
Who uses it: All agents and staff.
When to use it: When you need to look up a colleague's contact information, find out which manager covers a specific office, or identify a recommended title, mortgage, or other service partner.
Common Questions
- How do I install it on my phone?
Open the Agent Roster in your mobile browser and use your phone's "Add to Home Screen" option. It functions like an app. - How current is the information?
The Roster pulls from live data. Contact changes made in Agent Records should reflect promptly.
Agent Records Manager / Staff
What it does: The administrative tool for viewing and editing agent profile data. Covers contact information, external system IDs (DeltaNet ID, Profit Power ID, NRDS/NAR member number), and notification settings (which alerts and communications each agent receives).
Who uses it: Managers and staff who maintain agent records, and agents who need to update their own contact information or notification preferences.
When to use it: When an agent's phone number or email changes, when a new agent needs their DeltaNet and Profit Power IDs entered, or when notification settings need adjustment.
Common Questions
- Can agents edit their own records?
Agents can update certain personal information. Managers have broader edit access for their agents. - What is the NRDS number?
NRDS is the National REALTORS® Database System number — your unique NAR member ID. It's required for MLS access.
Daily Desk Manager / Staff
What it does: Provides an office-scoped, real-time view of active listings, contracts currently in progress, and today's specific action items. Pulls live data from DeltaNet, Form Simplicity, and the Adams Cameron transaction database to create a single operational dashboard for each office.
Who uses it: Office managers, staff, and team leaders who need a daily operational overview of what's happening in their office.
When to use it: Every morning to start the day with a clear picture of office activity — what's active, what's under contract, and what needs attention today.
Common Questions
- Does each office see its own data?
Yes. Daily Desk is scoped by office, so each location sees its own listings and contracts. - What are "today's action items"?
Items that require attention that day — contract deadlines, expiring listings, or other time-sensitive matters.
Agent Onboarding & Offboarding Manager / Staff
What it does: Tracks the onboarding tasks for every new agent and the offboarding tasks for every departing agent. Each task is assigned to the Office Coordinator, Sales Manager, or Admin and filed under the agent's office.
Who uses it: Office Coordinators, Sales Managers, and Admin.
When to use it: Whenever an agent joins or leaves. A checklist starts automatically when the hire or termination is logged in Agent Records, or you can start one by hand with Start checklist.
Common Questions
- How do I finish the same task for several agents at once?
Use the By task view. Tick the agents under a task, or the box on the task itself to select them all, then choose Mark complete. - Can I see only my own tasks?
Yes. Set the Role filter to your role, and the Office filter to your office if you like. Everyone can see every task. - How do I change the task lists?
Managers edit the Agent Onboarding and Agent Offboarding templates in Daily Desk → Admin, the same place as the transaction checklists.
Scorecard Data Entry Manager / Staff
What it does: The manual data entry tool for company scorecard metrics that can't be pulled automatically from connected systems. Covers monthly inputs such as advertising spend totals, Facebook review counts, social advocacy participation data, and eBusiness statistics.
Who uses it: Staff and managers responsible for maintaining the company performance scorecard.
When to use it: Monthly, after the close of each month, to enter the period's manual metrics.
Open Scorecard Data Entry →Tool Usage Manager / Staff
What it does: An analytics dashboard showing how often each Workshop tool is being used and by whom. Displays visit counts by tool and by individual user, with a recent activity feed.
Who uses it: Managers and leadership who want to understand Workshop adoption and identify opportunities for agent training or encouragement.
When to use it: When evaluating which tools are getting traction, which agents are engaging with the Workshop, or when planning training initiatives.
Common Questions
- Can individual agents see their own usage?
The tool shows data by user, so managers can see individual usage. Check with leadership regarding your own data access. - What does this tell me about my agents?
Low usage of a tool like AC Pathfinder or Review Engine among specific agents can be a coaching conversation starter.
Production Leaderboard Coming Soon
What it does: Displays sales rankings for Adams Cameron agents — Sales Leader, Listing Leader, and President's Club GCI rankings — viewable company-wide or filtered by office.
Status: Currently listed as "Coming Soon." This tool is under development.
Who will use it: All agents (to see their ranking), managers (to recognize top performers), and leadership.
Section 7: Notifications & Messaging
There are two independent systems for staying informed at Adams Cameron: Communication Preferences, which you manage yourself, and Broadcast Messaging, a staff tool for sending one-off text alerts. They are not duplicates of each other — each sends a genuinely different kind of message, over a different channel, and turning one off has no effect on the other.
Communication Preferences
What it does: Lets you control, topic by topic, whether you receive Email and/or Text Message notifications for Pathfinder, Company Events, Office Updates, and President's Update. Each of those topics has its own independent Email toggle and Text Message toggle. A fifth topic, Open Houses, has a Text Message toggle only. Everything defaults to on; you're only ever opting out.
Who uses it: All agents, managing their own preferences.
When to use it: Whenever you want to change how much — or how little — you hear about company events, office updates, or presidential updates, or which channel you'd rather get them on.
Common Questions
- If I turn off email for a topic, does that also turn off texts for it?
No. Email and Text Message are independent toggles for every topic — turn off whichever one you don't want, leave the other on if you'd like. - If I opt out of a topic's emails, am I removed from the Google Group?
No. Opting out only stops mail from reaching your inbox; your group membership itself is untouched. - Will opting out stop emergency alerts too?
No. Emergency Alerts aren't a topic you can toggle — they always reach every agent with a phone number on file. - What's the Open Houses topic?
Texts from the open house tools — when someone reserves your listing, a date you reserved is withdrawn or cancelled, or a listing with an open house goes pending. It has a Text Message toggle only: the matching emails always come, since they're about a commitment between two agents.
Broadcast Messaging Manager / Staff
What it does: Lets coordinators, managers, and admins send a one-off text message to a group of agents — company-wide, by office, or a hand-picked list — under a category (Company Events, Office Updates, President's Update, or Emergency). Before sending, it checks each agent's own Text Message preference for that category in Communication Preferences, so only agents who haven't opted out actually receive it.
Who uses it: Coordinators, managers, and admins send broadcasts; any agent may receive one, based on their own Text Message preferences.
Text Message Assistant
What it does: Text 386-222-0033 (386-ACC-0033) any time to ask about your own active listings, contracts, checklist tasks, or AC Pathfinder coaching status, and get an answer back by text within moments. No app, no sign-in, and nothing to opt into first — it just answers whenever you text that number.
Who uses it: All agents.
When to use it: Any time you want a quick answer without opening a computer — checking a listing's status from your car, confirming a closing date between showings, seeing what's still outstanding on a file, or checking whether your Pathfinder check-in is due.
What You Can Ask
- "What are my active listings?"
Lists your current active and under-contract deals, with status and price. - "What's the status of 123 Main St?"
Searches by address — works for past closed deals too, not just active ones. - "What do I still need to do on 456 Oak Ave?"
Lists outstanding checklist tasks for that transaction. - "Am I behind on my Pathfinder check-in?"
Your coach, whether a check-in is currently due, and your committed weekly/monthly activity targets.
Common Questions
- Do I need to opt in first?
No. It works for any active agent the moment you text the number — nothing to turn on in advance. - Can I ask about a colleague's listing?
No — only your own listings, contracts, and checklist items. If you're a team leader, your teammates' too. - Can I ask a follow-up question?
Yes, as long as it's within about 30 minutes of the last text. After that, it starts fresh.
Working as a Team
Many Adams Cameron agents work as a team — some with one or two team leaders, some as true partners. The Workshop knows who is on each team, so team leaders can work on their whole team's listings, not just the ones they're named on.
Where your team comes from
Teams are set up in DeltaNet, with each person marked as a team leader or a team member. In a partnership, both partners are leaders. The Workshop copies DeltaNet's teams every night, so a change made in DeltaNet shows up in the Workshop the next morning. If your team, or your role on it, looks wrong, contact your office.
If you're a team leader
You can see and work on every listing and contract of every member of your team:
| Tool | What you can do for your team |
|---|---|
| Agent Hub | Your teammates' listings and contracts appear with yours, marked Team · name. You can check off their checklist items. |
| Cameron's Stage | Pick a teammate's listing to make a tour, and edit tours your teammates made. |
| ACC Binder | Choose which teammate's Form Simplicity account to work in. Your team decides whose account holds its files. |
| Text Message Assistant | Ask about your teammates' deals too. The reply says whose deal it is. |
If you're a team member
Nothing changes: you work on the listings and contracts you're named on, as before. Your team leader can also see and work on them.
For everyone on a team
- Online Presence Audit: if your team markets under a team name, use the Team tab to audit the team brand, its website, and every member together. Everyone on the team sees the result.
- Agent Roster and the Hotsheet show your team's name next to yours.
What doesn't change
- Who's named on a deal is still set in Daily Desk by your office. Being on a team doesn't add you to your teammates' deals.
- Awards (Sales Leader, Listing Leader, President's Club) credit whoever is named on the deal. Your team decides whether one person or several take credit.
- Marketing bucks are still one credit per side of a closing. Tell your office coordinator which team member should get it.
