Started receiving calls from 1st Direct mail campaign

[Luigi Ontiveros]

Hey Guys,

I mailed 2500 "I want to buy your house" postcards to absentee owners last Friday.

The postcards hit today and I've received 48 calls. Three sellers left messages and the rest are hang ups. Two sellers wanted to sell and the other seller was underwater which I referred to my buddy who specializes in short sales.

Today was my first day speaking to sellers.

I pre screened and asked them questions and made 2 offers Today.

The sellers weren't really motivated since both of them owned the property free and clear and just wanted to see what I would offer. They rejected my offers and said they were firm on market value price.

I know the answer to the following question may be obvious , but what should I do with the 40+ hang ups?

Should I call them back ?? how do you recommend I approach the hang up leads?

I am assuming that they are not too motivated since they didn't take the time to leave a message.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Luis

This would be a bad assumption. Sometimes sellers don't like "talking to those machines" (elderly folks who are old fashioned) or would trust a live voice instead of an answering machine.

Call them back and you'll learn a heck of a lot. May even get or two out of it.
