Direct Mail Marketing failure

[Dylan Bowman]

So I’ve been DMM now for about 3 months. No real leads yet, which I expected. The calls that I have received are people telling me to take them off of my solicitation and are not happy about me mailing them.

Then to make matters worse after I’m already discouraged about my efforts as a real estate investor, I come home to find a dead chicken in my front yard wrapped up in a black plastic trash bag.

So my question is what can I do better?

What am I doing wrong? How can I target seller’s who are actually motivated and not waste my time or theirs. Better lists? Cold calling? I also D4D on occasion when I can find the time. But that takes time away from my kids on the weekends which is hard when I work out of town most of the week.

I have now realized I should take my return address off of the mailers at least lol

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.

I was just listening to Ryan Dosseys interview on DMM. Very informative and maybe you can take some things from one he said and apply them to your business model. It won't be easy but don't give up, I'm confident with some adjustments things will pick up. Also, sorry about the dead chicken that is...unfortunate lol. I copied the title for that interview below, hope it helps!
