Hand Written Direct Mail Vs. Typed Direct Mail
Im sending out hand written direct mail letters to sheriff sale leads and probate leads. My hand writing is decent and I've made sure to use a letterhead template to make it look personal but professional. I've sent out about 20 hand written letters in the last 3 days, writing as much as I can after work for as long as I can keep my eyes open. Im wondering if there is a better way. If I just use a general template typed up does it boost my professinalism and productivity? Then what seperates me from the other letters being sent by other investors. Does it even matter? Am I over thinking it? On top of that I just listen to the BP Podacst show #255 and Elliot Smith was talking about sending 6000 pieces of mail a month! Like how? Looking for some guidance in this matter. Thanks BP.
