I've been dabbling in RVM for the past few days and it has really caught my interest. Got a few hits from a very small campaign that was sent out. I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences or best practices with it?

I'm curious how often you send them out to a certain group when prospecting new leads. Hit them twice a week? once a week? Few times a month? etc...

Any knowledge on the topic would be great. Thanks a bunch

Hey Cornelius, Hope you're doing well brother. Quick question regarding RVM. When sending out a blast, are you hitting every number that's associated with that specific lead or just maybe the first one or two?

@Jon Keeney Glad to help, Jon! I mainly rely on VM broadcasts because I'm able to cover more ground quicker. Since I'm in several markets, it's easier to set specific days to broadcast to a specific list. I can easily predict how many leads I'll receive based on the amount of numbers I broadcast. With cold calling, the amount of leads I receive varies based on the day and market. Additionally, my dollar goes a lot further with VM broadcasting opposed to cold calling. When I do VM drops, I have them routed to a Callrail number, and it gets sent straight to voicemail. Our VA will then filter through the leads that leave voicemails and call them personally. He'll shoot the abandoned calls a text to try and get in touch with them. If they called in, it might have been an accident, or the individual may not like getting routed directly to voicemail.

Currently, my marketing methods in order of preference are text broadcasts, VM broadcasts, and then cold calling. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

We do a lot of wholesaling and our best buyer is an Hispanic real estate agent who has a ton of buyers for lower price point homes. That's what we sell, so working together works well for both of us.

Find a couple of investors who buy a lot of properties, find out what they buy and focus on those houses for them.

Good luck!

I totally AGREE!! Some people are saying you need a Buyers list of hundreds WHY? If you have 6 names in every market you work and vet them well no tire kickers all players you will be fine. Any wholesaler who is doing a lot of real deals will tell you have need quality buyers over quantity. Most importantly have good fair deals that make sense all around. You will do deals between 3k-5k in general and 10k and 15k often enough and occasional higher ..if you are lucky. The key to success is to have plenty of deals going consistently. 3-6 a month and you have a decent living by most standards but you get what you put into it.

Hey there Violetta,

I see that you asked Why... in regards to having hundreds and hundreds of buyers. I think the main reason is because if the deal is good enough and enough people want it, it can turn into a bidding war between the buyers and that way you are able to maximize what you make.

Hey @Patrick Alcoke If you're not dealing with hundreds of leads I would just manually do it yourself. Call them right up and have a normal conversation with them. Maybe pick a day out of the month to do it and hit em all.

Hey @Kyle Doney I think I'll be going the route you're talking about. Transferring leads from Mojo to Podio is a task on it's own... So tell me if I'm right about how it would go. As you're Caller is calling leads he will have a separate window up (the webform) and instead of entering notes into Mojo he'll just enter it into the webform, click the disposition on mojo, open up new webform and move on to continue dialing. Does that sound accurate?

@Michael Hayes Yo! Try trading up with someone in your market(Like literally sharing your buyers with someone else and vice versa). Quick and easy way to gain bulk buyers quickly. A lot of people will say no but catch a few that say yes and are closing deals... BOOM! quick couple thousand extra right there.
