Text Blasting as the New Direct Mail

[Tyler Frost]

So based on the podcasts from a couple of weeks ago with the gentleman from Mississippi and some other things I've been hearing, text blasting kind of seems to be the new wave of direct mail. I like the idea because you get quicker feedback and unlike mail, people can opt out so you get a better value with follow ups than you would with mail. Anybody been have success with this? What kind of wording are you using in your texts and what kind of systems are you using to implement?

Oh boy, all these naysayers...

Go back to the podcast, listen again, and take notes if you haven't already. They pull numerous lists, then SKIP TRACE to remove DNC's and Litigators and what's left is the numbers you text blast. Obviously check with your local laws. Leadsherpa is the program, it's like $500 a month. You can use it for one month, see how many deals come up, then see if the cost is justified. They mention what they say in the text, just copy and paste. Make sure you have a lead manager to set appointments and screen deals. With their proposed response and conversion rates, it's worth doing your own campaign. Just make sure you post your results here so you can convert all these naysayers as well. Good luck
