Leads ???

[Chris Gawlik]

I have been trying to get more seller leads calling my phones and was wondering what people mite be doing? 

I started with some absentee owner lists and mailed to them, and did get a very good response. I used yellow letters which were hand addressed and was surprised at the amount of calls I received. The problem is that I would say 85% to 95% of the calls are junk. I call them dead leads. People just curious if your a sucker or not and willing to pay up the ying yang for their house lol. When your hear them say I am willing to sell FOR A PRICE that is not a good sign. 

On the bright side I did get some good leads that are kind of unraveling at the moment, and just missed out on 2 deals that actually went to investors. It works and its a numbers game is what they say. It just hasn't worked for me yet lol. I think in time it will, but how much will I have to spend per lead to get there. $$$

I am tracking my leads and direct mail. Is there a super list out there. My mind is always spinning with new ways to market or new direct mail lists that will pull deals like crazy. Always dreaming lol.  

I'm trying some probate leads out. We'll see how that goes. I'm also playing with some back taxes stuff.  Just starting the process of building a web site. Driving for dollars, which has actually been working, I got 3 leads I'm working on and just got a call yesterday. I love getting decent calls that actually mite be a deal, I get really excited lol. 

Any tips on how to get some leads in the door would be appreciated. 

This is and will be my business and I'm here to stay. Good luck with your investing.
