750 Yellow Letters

I did it.  I took the plunge. I invested ~$1000 in a yellow letter campaign. Previously I'd been constructing a list of probates to mail to.  I had some calls, made some offers, but I have not yet pushed anything across the finish line.  And that's what counts.  

I have some fear.  I know for seasoned investors, marketing IS an investment.  But since I have yet to get that rush from completing my first deal, I'm operating from someplace else.  Not proud of it, just sayin'.

I have enough budget to hit this list for 6 mos with a combination of yellow letters, post cards, and zip letters.

Shout out to @Michael Quarles . I used his service.  He spent some time on the phone with me.  An unpaid consult.  A big shout out to Norma in Michael's office.  She rocks.  Held my hand, endured a lot of newby questions.  She was very nice.

If anyone is interested, I'll update you along the way.  I don't expect the letters to actually drop for about a week, maybe a little more.

Congrats on taking action. I started my mailing campaign a couple weeks ago and gotten my fair share of "take me off of your list" calls. One lady left a nasty voicemail saying that she was going to sue me for harrasment because her and a bunch of her neighbors keep getting letters from "people like you". Anyway, I've saved the voicemail so I can listen to it in the future, it's quite entertaining.
