Direct Mail- Searching for deals

[Kevin Andringa]

Hello,

What are the best practices to search for deals via direct mail?

thank you!

[Sam Craven]

any kind of marketing is so compliated that a broad question like that only indicates that you need to do some homework yourself first.  you CAN make some money doing direct mail just like any other form of marketing.  

high level to get you started on some better search terms:

• Find a motivated seller list of some kind (absentee, foreclosure, tax del)
• Put together what the letter will say (not nearly as important as the list or sending to that list CONSISTENTLY)
• send THOUSANDS of letters, cant get deals sending hundreds of letters anymore
• ANSWER THE PHONE
• LEARN TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE CLIENT 

I spend well into the six figures on direct mail every year.  dont over complicate it, just do it.

If you dont have the budget to send thousands of letters, then take that list and cold call it.
