Getting negative responses from marketing
I just wanted to kinda of give some feedback about what things have been like for me starting out. I have to let others who are starting out to just take things with a grain of salt. I have been yelled at, hung up on, and generally just had people show me their darkest sides lately. I have been doing some direct mail and have to say, things are not easy. But, as Josh and Brandon have included in Podcast 67 Overcoming Inaction, would you still pick up the phone if you knew it could bring in 10k? I have and will continue to get people from craigslist telling me I am a loser, and will continue to have owners tell me to stick it. I know that those who are successful have probably heard it all, and it is like water off of a duck's back. I am just wanting to encourage new beginners to keep on doing the next right thing and the deals will happen for you as they are for me. It can be very tough out here, and I have had a few weeks at a time without any deals but every time I feel like I will not make it, I see another opportunity just around the corner! Keep on keepin' on fellow Bp'ers!
