Would You Cold Call An Elderly Person? (Age 75 and >)
While doing my cold calls today, I ran across an elderly woman who is 92 years old. Recently (within 2 years), her husband passed away while living at the property. She still lives there to this day and my gut is telling me that this is one of those situations where that is her "forever home" and not to do it. But, then another part (the business side) of myself is telling me it won't hurt to find out if she is interested in buying another home. So, I'm really stuck at crossroads between this decision. What would you do in a situation like this? Does age really matter when it comes to wholesaling? I'm looking at it from different angles.
