When you first meet a seller what do you give them?
Hello all,
Quick question. Other than a business card what else do you guys give sellers when you first meet them? I am trying to think outside the box and come up with ideas on what I can give a seller when I first meet them to come off more professional and be more informative.
For example maybe a pamphlet with information on it?
Just trying to come up with ideas
THanks in advance
AC

@Jason Farmer does have a good point but I really think different things work in different markets. I think its up to the investor to look at what works for their market and tweak and adjust until they find something that works best.
I'm usually able to gauge from my intial contact with sellers the level of professionalism that may be required. I have had sellers I met with just khaki's and a polo shirt on and no contract in hand (it was in my truck) and I've met sellers and made sure they had my buinsess card and my website information. That's just the angle I approach it with. I like to be prepared and make the seller feel like they FULLY understand how the process is going to work. Ive even had some sellers who think email addresses are the same thing as websites so giving them a professional pamphlet with my company history and website propbaly wont get read thorougly but they remember my yellow letter they put in their kitchen drawer weeks ago. All good answers though
@Jade Davis I've placed Andes mints in a batch of yellow letters and seemed to get a good response. I know the shape of the mint in the envelope made them open the letter.
and I even agree with @Senay Baraki he was pretty saying he takes action and doesn't let something like pamphlets or brochures etc be the reason why he'll put off going to see a seller who contacted him wanting to sell their property as soon as possible.
