Cold calling efficiently
There are a lot of ways to get in touch with motivated sellers. You could try direct mail, sms blasting, bandit signs and of course Cold calling. I want to improve my cold calling abilities and improve my efficiency when calling motivated sellers.
What are some tips or tricks you guys or girls use to maximize your efficiency when cold calling. Do you comp. a property first then call, or vise versa? Do you follow a specific script? Do you call at a certain time of day? Any feedback is appreciated :)

@Martin Bastida
Cold Calling is about numbers and building a pipeline of prospects, organizing them using a database.
I set aside 3 hours a day to do cold calling.Make a minimum of 100 calls a day, use pre recorded messages for voice mail, and a software package that allows me to send SMS Text followup text messages. You can google scripts. Your database will determine when to call. I never stop calling until i reach a minimum of 10 live people a day.
Your database will determine who is motivated or not.
