Bad Yellow Letters
So, I actually try to respond to the yellow letters I receive. I figure that everything is for sale if the price is right and it's always nice to form a connection with a someone in the same market. But my goodness folks make communication too darn hard.
Example 1: This morning I call the phone number provided. Do I get a person on the other end? No, not even a person talking. It's a computer saying some pretty generic things, asking me to leave a message. Do I leave a message with this Ohio number when the postcard comes from Texas? nope. Would I have talked to someone? yes.
Example 2: I get a letter from a BP member. So I sent them a private message. Do they respond? Nope.
When people are unwilling to pick up the phone, put their own name on things, use their own voice it makes me feel like its a scam or at the very least poor business. They already know my name and address and are reaching out to me. Why all of the secrecy on their end?
