Designees who login to the Find A CCIM Professional system will be able to download information about other CCIM Designees in VCard format. VCard is supported by Outlook and most email and contact management systems.

Thanks to John Cafasso, CCIM, for the suggestion.

If you’re on the go and looking for a CCIM Designee, point your mobile browser to the CCIM mobile directory at m.ccim.com and select “Find A Professional“. This takes you to the beta version of the mobile platform for our CCIM Partners directory of CCIM Designees.

There are some differences from the “wide screen” version:

• Pagination is via “prev” and “next”
• There is no email link, just name, address, and phone
• There is no clickthrough to the full member profile (because we haven’t redone the formatting for that to mobile formats yet)

This is a beta and we’re looking for feedback on formatting and overall usefulness. The phone number link should dial your phone. The add-to-contacts link should do that, too.

If you run into problems, please email webmaster@cciminstitute.com or post a comment here. Be sure to let us know what phone you’re using.

What’s next? No, Who’s next!
