First motivated seller call

You know what, I received my first motivated seller from NJ call today and boy I was least expecting it. I hadn't even started my direct mail marketing campaign. I had a basic web site setup couple of weeks ago (I was ignoring it, and not ready for public view) and someone looked it up and called me at work today. LOL. She sounded panicked though. She had a free and clear house, with she said minimal work needed. She said she is exploring all options when I asked why not an agent. I wasn't prepared to talk to her. I tried to explain to her what I do. She wasn't willing to give her address or phone number. She said she will call me again tonight. May be she won't but it is OK. Suddenly I am pumped, and got first-hand experience that this works and people call you out of nowhere! I need to be prepared with questions that I need to ask. If she calls me again and if there is any progress I will post it here. I mean to be honest and be up front with what I do. I know it will take a few such calls for me to be good at it.
