Direct Mail Marketing Motivation
Hi BP,
I just wanted to let you all know that I began my first yellow letter campaign, sending 75 letters per week and the day following my FIRST mailing this week, I received 4 call backs and they all said "NO" or just wasn't motivated. I'm very excited because this is my first step into changing my life and I believe that as I consistently market, talk to sellers, and educate myself that I will grow to a level of success that I've never experienced in my life.
I'm not sure how many "NO's" I'll hear before getting that "YES," but I will remain consistent in my efforts until what I'm working toward is actualized. So to all of you who have been planning and planning and taking no action, I encourage you to take that first step and know that whatever you have the faith to build, you empower to grow!
Take care BP and I look forward to returning to you with more encouragement and testimonies of my journey. It is because of what I'm learning here that I'm able to grow and go!
