wholesaleREI looking for some answers

[Shayanna Lee]

It’s been 7 long months of generating a list of leads that fit my criteria, mailing them calling them making offers and still getting no where and I am here because my goal deadline is coming closer and closer and I want to do all it takes to hit my goal or finally closing a deal by the end of 2020 TOTALLY POSSIBLE!

I will start here. Using systems to generate leads in the beginning of my journey wasn’t the best experience and since then I’ve found a way to have someone knowledgeable do so for me. With that being said I have 150 leads that’s are solid leads in my criteria that I reach out to.. only thing I’m not getting anywhere.

Should I stop the cold calls and direct message? Is there a better way to generate leads? Is there a certain approach? Am I in a dead zone here in Rhode Island?

This is the only focus I have to be an REI and I am trying my best just a little lost. I've had a mentor but ended up a personal assistant I just want to be great and make something of myself.

@Shayanna Lee there are a lot of different ways to do this business. If you've been trying one strategy consistently for months and it's not working, I'd suggest trying a different strategy.

For example, if you've been cold calling and sending messages, maybe try refining your list or targeting different lists, and waiting until owners/sellers call you, as you'll be in a stronger position at that point - after all, they'll have called you, rather than you chasing after them.

RI isn't a dead zone, but I have noticed that it's gotten harder to source leads as there's more competition in the market. I think it's still very possible to get leads and do deals, but these days it does require more time and effort, and you may want to try to target lists that others aren't already targeting.
