Signs, Flyers, And Business Cards

I buy from them. But before you order large quantities, you should test your message with smaller quantity to see if it is working and adjust till you find one that works and pull in calls.

My main concern for beginners is that they spent most of their budget trying to get calls, but they don't know how to close the deal. By the time they learn how to close, the budget is gone.

Exactly! That's why I recommend MAKING the calls instead. If you already have a phone then it doesn't cost you anything and you're practicing how to quickly qualify tons of sellers in preparation for the day you have tons of calls coming IN.

Thanks for the advise, i guess ill go down that path instead. The only question i have is where do i go about finding people to call? The newspaper?

[Doug Pretorius]

Like I said: newspaper, websites, Realtors. You want to call the "For Rent By Owner" ads, the "For Sale Buy Owner" ads, and Expired Listings.

The biggest hurdle is making the calls. Nearly everyone gives up after 10 or 20 calls. Well, that's not enough to get a deal. In the beginning you can expect it to make 200 calls to get your first deal because you aren't good at it yet. Once you are then 20-30 calls per deal is about right.

Also I highly recommend getting a headset as soon as possible, it's much more comfortable and a lot faster.

I don't think I would give up after 10-20, but I might run out of numbers.  FSBOs around here tend to stick a sign in the ground and leave it at that no matter the motivation.

I wish gas was cheaper...
