Thanks @Cody Spencer I guess I just have to get over the feeling of rejection and over-pursuing a result they "don't want"

@Rick Harmon that is a perfect comparison "marketing is like dating" I love that idea it's makes the situation easier to relate. I won't force my agenda onto them, but try and bring them to it on "their own" terms, right?

@Dev Horn I just made an input cell for notes and follow ups in my probate excel spread, I appreciate the feedback and true following up can seem "tough" since the lead already said no. Lastly, it's a shame peers can be the worst, but I'm on a mission in REI

I just got my first response to my direct mail campaign! As a newbie I'm excited because I've been getting the sense of doubt from my peers they think I'm gone crazy. But anyway it is a probate lead and she's the mother of the decedent, she told me that she doesn't want to sell the property. To me, she didn't sound to sure about it TBH my first call I was a bit anxious/overwhelmed. Do I take her off the list and take my L or keep marketing to those who decline to sell?

I'm in the process of the direct mail campaign to absentee owners in my area. Well I obtained my list from listsouce BUT would it be more wise to outsource the mailing to free up time to do other tasks like probate leads etc??? I'm spending a lot of time writing letters and i have a hunch there may be a better way

thanks @Logan Hassinger I see you're located in Bedford, is the title company in the HEB?

Thank you all. I will definitely try the above companies, let me know if you all need any assistance contact me anytime

I am currently marketing to generate leads, my buyer's list isn't beefy whatsoever. In the meantime once I land a deal idk what company in my area will be able to assist me with deposits, earnest money, and escrow. Please help me
