Cold Call List Recommendations!

[Michelle Simoni]

Any recommendations for cold calling lists for either Wholesaling, or retail selling ( I am a realtor / flipper / associate architect). I have tried calling from lists on prop stream but not getting anywhere! Any advice? Or should I just keep at it calling from the list I have.  Do you know what the conversion rate is on cold calling these lists?

No no no,

Lists can't target motivated sellers. It is impossible.

Motivation is not a logical thing. You can't have a checklist of requirements, and if checked off it would mean they are motivated like:

Tall grass

Boarded up windows

Are in foreclosure

"ohh all 3 are checked, it means they are motivated". Motivation has nothing to do with circumstance. Motivation is an emotional state. 2 people subjected to the same environment will inherently act differently and thus proves it is not possible to target motivation.

A motivated seller is not someone in foreclosure or is an absentee owner or is in tax trouble.

A motivated seller is anyone willing to sell their house below market value no matter the reason.

Everyone, please stop telling others to stay consistent.Let me tell you something, coming from a (NASA) scientist and engineer.

When something does NOT work, you don't "do more" you don't stay consistent. That is TERRIBLE advise!

Look:

The reason you need to do more to make it "work" is because:

The success rate of that strategy is SO DARN LOW that you need to send THOUSANDS of mailers, calls, or texts to COMPENSATE for the low performance of that strategy.

So in other words...

Because it does NOT work, you need to do a LOT of it, to compensate for the fact that it  does NOT work, to get a deal... so you conclude.. "see it works". So it works, because it doesn't work. !?!?!

Listen everyone.

Forget list. Lists can't target motivated sellers.

What is a list? A list is a filtering system

Are you motivated? Get on my list. Not motivated get off my list. Right?

You do not need to know who is and who isn't motivated. All you need to know is where they will BE WHEN they BECOME motivated. Google!

Where would you go to get food if you were a ferocious starving lion in Africa?

The watering hole!

I don't care who you are, your butt WILL be at the watering hole at some point!

Work smarter not harder. Get a website, rank it, have leads find you.

If that takes too long. Get a website. A GOOD one.  and do facebook ads.

You'll get far more reliable success.
