Door knocking for Wholesale Leadss

[Timothy D. Roberts]

BP members, 

I’m planning on door knocking in the next week. Through help of a mentor, I’ve chosen which market I’ll be targeting and even which streets are most desirable for him and other investors in the area.

I’ve had experience door knocking before and have a few key conversation points to bring up. I’m not expecting someone to hand the keys over before I get to say my name, but I’m expecting to be closer to my goal than I am typing this out. There is no use in sitting stagnant.

I was hoping to hear from you guys what your experience has been. Business cards? Specific time of day? Shirt tucked or untucked?!?!

I’m only kidding about the shirt but I would love to hear your feedback.

hey Tim, im fairly new to the REI but like you, im soon to walk the streets and door knock. After networking a whole bunch these are some great tips ive gotten from real estate mentors that Ive been using when prospecting maybe of some use to you.

One tip I received from a car salesman/ REI: "smile and make a friend, LISTEN people will 'let you know if they need help

Another mentor/REI: DRESS THE PART make them trust that your the real deal and will buy the home.

A tip I use when im prospecting is "A,B,C,D'S" (ALWAYS BE COLLECTING DOTS)  Danny Meyers restaurateur/ "setting the table": in his book he talks about building rapport with customers, connecting dots on keywords that make that person the person they are these points you can help build conversation and hopefully a relationship 

The main key is Trust and Time, if they dont trust you they wont sell and dont waste your time on people that dont want to sell, move on.

hope it helps
