Can't answer all of my Direct Mail calls.

[Ryan Dossey]

Hey guys my business partner and I are running a DM campaign. We are dropping 1500 notices a month. We both work full time and there are several calls that we miss a day. While we spent our first month using the "if they're interested they will leave a vm approach" I do feel like we are probably missing out on some deals. 

So.... Here I am. 

Thoughs...

Look into a virtual assistant? All we need is a basic info gathering script and setting an appointment. 

Talking to a retired family member who used to do sales and see if he would be interested in taking the calls for a commission? 

I've heard of people using interns but unless they would agree to work on a commission basis I could see that getting expensive. 

What do you guys think? I know some say you have to answer every single call while some are fine with the VM approach. Just trying not to waste the $ we are spending on our leads.
