@Danny Barrera Within my company we touch every lead a minimum of 7 times sometimes we contact up to 12 times. I have started using this technique and it has helped my direct mail gain recognition and also i have found motivated sellers through my skip tracing and cold calling efforts. What has work for me in the past is just picking a few target zip codes pulling how many cash sales are in that area using listsource.com then deciding if It would be a good area for me to farm numbers and start calling around to gauge motivation! I then set followup sequences inside of my CRM which notifies me when its time to give a cold lead a ring again.I've seen my response rate go from a 1-2% to around a 4-7% increase when i added cold calling! I hope this helps you out if you have any questions feel free to message me!
