Bout that action

[ANTONIO BARBOZA]

Hey BP, For those that don't know me, my name is Antonio. I live in Broward County FL and I have the money ready to start up wholesaling. I've had the money ready for about a week now, I guess I've just been procrastinating a little bit but I'm about to start making some moves. Instead of sending out 1,000 letters at once and get overloaded with calls that I wont be able to follow up with Im thinking about sending out 250 letters every week for a month straight. Any recommendations for how I should get my leads would be greatly appreciated! I've been thinking about going ahead and using ListSource. If you have used ListSource I would love to hear the outcome of your investment, how many letters did you send out? How many phone calls did you get? How many of those phone calls were actually motivated sellers wanting to get rid of their property at a discounted price? What leads did you use? Absentee owner? Pre foreclosure? Probate? What market did you market in. I would love to get some feed back from investors in South Florida but any and all feed back will be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance #AskBP

Don't post '???' just to keep your post at the top of the page. It's rude and obnoxious.  Many of us regularly go into the 'Unanswered' posts to ensure everyone is getting attention. 

Now...to your question...1000 letters per month is a great start, and you are smart to batch mail them.  I would even recommend a week break between your 4th batch and the 1st batch of the next letter.  It gives you a chance to catch up.  There's nothing worse than allowing money to fall to the floor in the form of unanswered calls. Just make sure you are committed to touching those 1000 at least 6 times over the next 6 to 8 months. Marketing is all about being persistently consistent. 

A lot of people buy their lists from Listsource and are very successful with those lists. Just realize, because people are likely buying the same lists, it's even more important you be consistently persistent.  Personally, I highly recommend you talk to Jerry Puckett about his services. He can provide the lists as well as full service direct mail. Unless you just really enjoy stuffing envelopes!
