First Mailing - First Calls

Derek McCreight

Posted

So I got my first YL campaing int he mail late Monday afternoon. On Wednesday I got three calls.

The first was from a very nice lady to tell me that there was no house at the address I asked about - just an empty lot (Note to self: do better filtering in listsource).

The 2nd call was from another investor. He was a real nice guy and really just called to shoot the breeze and even told me about some leads he didnt have time to mess with (Note to self: add this guy to the buyers list).

Finally the third call was form an old student of mine who just wanted to catch up.

In all I sent out about 200 letters and got some calls that didnt pan out, but it still makes me happy that someone actually opned up the letters and took the time to call.

Oh, I did get a call (that I missed) and they didnt leve a message (Note to self: call that # back and work it).

Don't worry.   

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
