In a world full of businesses chasing quick wins, discounts, and endless complexity, Workflow Secrets takes a different approach. We believe that doing less of the wrong things lets us do more of the right things.
This philosophy isnât about limitation - itâs about focus. It's about making deliberate decisions to build a better, simpler, and more valuable experience for our clients.
Hereâs a look at a few key things we donât do - and why these choices help us serve you better.
đ¸ 1. Why We Donât Offer Discounts
Discounts can feel great in the moment - but weâve seen firsthand how they can undermine long-term value.
A Personal Lesson:
Fresh out of college, I worked at a premium yoga studio known for its exceptional team and top-notch facilities. My role was to maintain its impeccable standard. However, the studio offered discounts at every turn - holidays, anniversaries, birthdays, weekends, and every month on apparel. This practice, championed by the staff, eventually bred customer expectations for constant price reductions and a culture of, 'I'll wait till it's on sale' and our best clients jumping from sale to sale with their memberships, shaving away at the small margin the studio was able to make.
The result? Customers stopped valuing the experience and started waiting for the next sale. Revenue dropped, classes were cut, and the studioâs reputation for quality suffered.
Our Approach:
At Workflow Secrets, we donât discount our prices. Instead, we:
- Price fairly from day one.
- Focus on delivering massive value through the platform and its capabilities.
- Reward loyalty with added benefits (not cheaper rates).
Your business deserves a tool thatâs priced for its true worth - not one thatâs cheapened by endless markdowns.
âď¸ 2. Why We Donât Have a Public Phone Number
This one surprises people - but itâs an intentional decision.
The Problem with Phones:
  Phone support often means:
   - Long hold times.
   - Rushed answers.
   - Wasted time repeating the same fixes.
   - Phone anxiety always waiting, never knowing if it'll ring.Â
Our Approach:
We use an email-first system because it allows us to:
- Respond with clarity. We give detailed, thoughtful answers (not guesswork) often with a 1-of-1 video.
- Provide proactive resources. We invest in tutorials and guides (like this one!) so you donât have to reach out in the first place.
- Respect everyoneâs time. Our lean team stays focused on improving the product - not fielding redundant calls.
(And if you ever face a true emergency? Donât worry - youâll get direct contact with Mark or Cody.)
đŻ 3. Why We Donât Cut Corners on Value
AI-powered systems arenât just code - they're tools that affect real people. Weâve seen rushed products and sloppy implementations create headaches for agents and bad experiences for clients.
Our Commitment:
- Years of planning went into SAM before launch.
- We test every new feature with real agents in real markets.
- We donât add âflashyâ features unless they genuinely make agentsâ lives easier.
We believe that quality wins every time. SAM wasnât built to look impressive - it was built to work impressively... So impressively you'll never need another system.
đ 4. Why We Donât Chase Trends
The real estate tech world is full of buzzwords, fads, and agents jumping from platform to platform every few years.Â
But jumping on every new tool or feature can:
- Overcomplicate your system.
- Distract you from what actually works.
- Slow your growth instead of accelerating it.
Our Approach:
We build features based on agent feedback and proven principles. We hold user Office Hours weekly and use this time to field questions, showcase features, and stay connected to the heartbeat of our business and yours!
SAM stays simple, intuitive, and focused - so you can grow your business instead of babysitting software.
đĄ 5. Why We Donât Ignore User Feedback
We donât believe in the âset it and forget itâ approach to software. SAM evolves constantly - and that evolution comes from you.
Our Feedback Process:
- We actively invite feedback from trial users, beta testers, and long-time clients.
- We track usage patterns to see whatâs working and what isnât.
- We release updates that solve real problems - not just to say we added âsomething new.â
Your voice matters here. If you have an idea, a frustration, or a suggestion, we listen. And if it can make SAM better for everyone, weâll act on it.
đ 6. Why We Donât Stay Still
AI is evolving faster than any of us could have imagined a few years ago. What worked last year might feel obsolete tomorrow.
Thatâs why we stay on the move - learning, adapting, and improving SAM to stay ahead of the curve.
How We Stay Agile:
- We follow AI advancements closely to find tools that genuinely help agents.
- We test new capabilities internally before they reach you.
- We adapt based on real-world real estate needs - not tech trends alone.
AI is a means to an end. The end? Helping you grow your business without losing your time, your sanity, or your weekends.
đą The Philosophy Behind It All
We believe that what we donât do is just as important as what we choose to do.
By avoiding short-term distractions and low-value strategies, we give ourselves the focus and freedom to:
- Innovate smarter.
- Support agents better.
- Build a business that stands the test of time.
Our promise is simple:Â We will never stop learning. Never stop improving. And never stop putting real estate agents first - something debt-strapped Legacy CRM systems neglect at the behest of shareholders.
Letâs build something exceptional together - and let's do it with SAM!
