Do you really think you making your mailer purple, will make you magically different/better?

As long as you keep clinging to these ridiculous methods of finding leads, and as long as you are going to depend on these methods for success you WILL always be struggling!

Keep this in mind. I started less than 4 years ago from scratch.

Look how many leads I generate for free!

I have seen SO many investors that have been doing this for 10 15 30 years, and they are STILL struggling and whining about how difficult it is to get deals. 

No surprise they are still doing DMM, CC, D4D... people just never learn!

Ohh well...

Do you have a program to teach your method of Lead Gen?

Just to be clear, we are talking about the window on the front door not a regular window.

What are some good lead generation techniques for a new agent other than cold calling and door knocking?

I'm guessing you are looking for a more targeted list somehow. I don't do any cold calling myself, but there are many services to pay for expired/FSBO listings out there.

Cold calling isn't impossible by any means, but it's a big volume game and takes a lot of commitment and acceptance of a high volume of failure. 

In my personal opinion, as the years go and technology changes, less and less people want to ever be cold called in any way. People of all ages are cutting ties with their land lines, and cell phone information is tougher to reach and easier to protect for the consumer on the do not call lists. With cold calling, you have to have a way to check the DNC list and obey those laws. 

What other ways are you using to generate business outside of cold calling? 

What do you suggest instead of cold calling to help generate leads as new agent?
