@John Hixon Thank you kindly sir! I wish the best of success with your campaign. Just be consistent and know that you'll get that diamond in the rough soon.

@Jason King Thanks for your response. With this particular campaign I plan to send to that list every 60 or days, but I've targeted about 900 total homeowners. I just broke it up into those increments for the sake of cost (doing things with one partner), being able to handle a manageable amount of calls since this is my first marketing campaign and first everything in real estate, so, yea. I didn't have a large budget to begin with, so I'm using what I have to do what I need to get what I want...if that makes sense. As far as following up on leads, I'm keeping a color coded spreadsheet that lets me know what stage each lead is in and whether or not to follow up with them. I hope that answers your questions :)

@Steven J. Thanks so much for your feedback. I will definitely be beefing up that number very soon. As of now, I'm take manageable steps so that I can handle the increase that will come as a result of more effective marketing. I am looking into multiple lists as well. Thanks for the help in direction.

@Collin Goodwin I definitely agree! The no's will help shape my ability to become better in so many ways. 

Good stuff @Brandon Proctor on your current marketing campaign. I pray that everything works out just fine and that those motivated sellers become deals for you very soon! I will stay motivated and will continue to move forward and you do the same!

Hi BP,

I just wanted to let you all know that I began my first yellow letter campaign, sending 75 letters per week and the day following my FIRST mailing this week, I received 4 call backs and they all said "NO" or just wasn't motivated. I'm very excited because this is my first step into changing my life and I believe that as I consistently market, talk to sellers, and educate myself that I will grow to a level of success that I've never experienced in my life.

I'm not sure how many "NO's" I'll hear before getting that "YES," but I will remain consistent in my efforts until what I'm working toward is actualized. So to all of you who have been planning and planning and taking no action, I encourage you to take that first step and know that whatever you have the faith to build, you empower to grow!

Take care BP and I look forward to returning to you with more encouragement and testimonies of my journey. It is because of what I'm learning here that I'm able to grow and go!
