03What changes

What changes when you switch.

  1. ORBIT makes the calls for you

    Follow Up Boss organizes leads and automates reminders and messages with Action Plans, while you or your agents make the calls. In Tanero, ORBIT places and answers the calls, sends the texts and writes the emails, either waiting for your OK (Approval mode, the default) or acting on its own (Auto).

  2. A website in the same plan

    Follow Up Boss connects to the website and lead sources you already pay for. Tanero includes a realtor website with listing search, visitor chat and booking, plus property pages ORBIT designs on request, so a form lead lands in the CRM without a connector.

  3. One private CRM for one realtor

    Lead routing across agents is central to Follow Up Boss, and its Pro plan covers 10 users for US$499 a month. Tanero gives each realtor one private CRM with one user, and ORBIT keeps it current after every call, text and email.

  4. Website, AI calls and follow-up in one plan

    Grow plus Calling comes to about CA$152 a month per user, well under Tanero Solo at CA$349. The gap pays for the website, AI call answering in 100+ languages and AI follow-up, with a dedicated local number and no setup fee listed.

04Switching

Moving from Follow Up Boss without starting over.

  1. Bring your contacts

    Take the contact list you keep in Follow Up Boss and paste it into a conversation with ORBIT, or attach the file. ORBIT adds each person to your Tanero CRM and skips anyone already there.

  2. Connect email and calendar

    Connect Gmail or Outlook and Google Calendar once. ORBIT then writes from your own address and books only inside your working hours and booking rules.

  3. Go live on your local number

    Use the dedicated local number that comes with Tanero for calls and texts, and choose whether your mobile rings first or ORBIT answers.
