Marketing by telephone

[Cameron Davis]

I have 18 properties, and I don't mind throwing away a piece of mail from an investor "wanting to buy my property." But now I'm getting many texts and phone calls, which is really annoying. I hear people all the time (like on the BP Podcast) describing how they call, or even have Virtual Assistants call, and the hosts praise them for their brilliance. Isn't this form of telephone solicitation illegal? On the BP Podcast the bandit signs are often referred to as tacky, annoying, and illegal in some areas. So why is phoning encouraged?

Telemarketing is a great way to market in my opinion. It can be illegal if you are not following the telemarketing laws however and their are stiff fines if you don't. I hate getting the calls, texts, emails and postcards with a passion but I respect the hustle. I do a little of all of these tactics but telemarketing ROI is the highest and I can see why a lot of investors are jumping on the bandwagon. Also, a lot of gurus are teaching telemarketing.
