I've had better success mailing postcards in the envelope myself (rainbow color) hand written address.

Also it takes longer for the person to receive a postcard not mailed in an envelope.

(No envelope 10 days)

(With Envelope  2 or 3 days)

Try both see what works best for you.

1. Study the problems to solve

2 Find (1) you are most currently comfortable with solving. 

Example 

Probate = mostly family a death issues

Tax = mostly income issues ect...

You will be most successful working in areas you are comfortable speaking with people about and then grow as a person from there into other areas. 

Start with only 1 if you don't it will be hard early to make money.

@Rick Harmon

Thanks I appreciate the input.

How often would you remail probate leads?

How many different types of letters?

Do you have any examples?

@Rick Harmon 

In the past I have only mailed probate leads 1 time.(Issue)

My postcards are well thought out usually takes me about 2 or 3 weeks to get the exact placement  and wording.

I have closed about 6 wholesale deals in 1.5 years while working a full time job. ( All cold calling )

My response rate was great for about 6 months

25 Mailers = 3 return Calls 

That has change recently (no return calls) on mailers 

My approach is personal (What we do for you)

I've only had 1 deal not close.

I currently have 3 different postcards that's all I mail.

@Rick Harmon

Thanks rick for the response 

1. I call as soon as I get the lead and also mail Postcards.

2 Currently don't track records (don't know what  records I should be tracking)

3.Postcards use the same message as I do with other mailers. (No postcards only for probate leads )maybe that the issue

4 Postcard are short 

we are very interested in your property 

What we offer section 

3 Calls to action line

Only response are the ones I have called directly

Morning Bp,

I've been pulling probate leads for about a year now and I have not had any luck.What kind of wording are you all using that has been successful.How often are you sending mailers.

What's working?

All responses are greatly appreciated.
