Has anyone tried slydial on vacant properties?

Question

I have a list of about 3,600 vacant homes within 14 miles of my zip code and phone numbers for a little over half of them. I am considering using slydial broadcast to send a pre-recorded voicemail to these numbers saying "Hey my name is Johnathan I live nearby in (city). I was driving by your house and noticed it might be vacant. I just wanted to get in touch and see if you'd be interested in selling it to me. I'd like to pay all-cash for it. Please call me back" and blast that out to a ton of numbers automatically. I figure it is more efficient to do it this way than driving around to find a fraction of the number of vacant homes in my area and then send a mailer out that will just get thrown away. Does anyone have experience with this?

Okay, so it's an AI robo call. I get these all the time and it doesn't sound personal at all. Most of the time the message is longer than the time allotted so it gets cropped, or my system sees it as a closed circuit not an actual air modulated voice, and hangs up.

Every political party out there uses them, or something very similar. Your not the first to try this, but why ask, try it yourself and see it it works.

Be an innovator not a copy cat and reap the rewards, or endure the failures. Thomas Edison is famous for saying that he tried a thousand different processes and materials to create the light bulb, but insisted he didn't fail a thousand times, rather he DISCOVERED a thousand things that didn't work.

They don't see the incoming call, but it sends them a voicemail that makes them think they missed a call. Not a robocall. It's not perceived any differently than if someone tried calling them and had to leave a message.

You could've just said you haven't used slydial. Or nothing at all.

I'm asking to hear from people who HAVE used it.

No. It sends them an actual voicemail as if I called them and left a message, and because of the wording it sounds unique and personal. To them its a missed call from a serious investor who looked at their property.

Let's see if we understand this . . . you are wanting a robo call a bunch of people to convince them to sell you their property?

They do this during elections don't they? Have you ever listened to a whole robo call? How does it work for getting your vote?
