Hey man.
Allow me to try to change your mind, approach and knowledge so you (and others) would be more successful at this.
What you are saying is incorrect. This is not "my opinion" vs yours.
I go to battle with data.
This what you said is what everyone is doing. How many people doing this are actually successful?
less than 0.1% doing the things you recommend.
Now this is not an attack on you, and I hope you are not like 99% of people who take things personally when someone doesn't agree with your opinion. I am here to teach (and learn) and this simply is not right.
Don't overthink it... sure, but yes DO think!
If you really want to dissect "success" you need to start with data and not just start "somewhere" without a foundation and build on it.
So if you consider the beginning, it is this. Success in this space (any space) depends on your ability to find MOTIVATED sellers.
I said motivated sellers, I didn't say "people".
It starts there.
So to 100% non-opinionated prove to you that what you are saying is wrong, consider this.
How many mailers calls or texts do you need to send to the methods you described to find leads, TO close a deal?
3000? 5000?
let's say it is 1000 (it is far more than that). But let's say it is. That means you have a 0.1% success rate. This means 99.9% of the people you are reaching with your list attempts are not motivated sellers. They are just "people".
So let's use math proof theories.
If you agree that success in this space depends on your ability to find motivated sellers, and your methods obviously do not target motivated sellers, this is undisputable proof that this is wrong.
Nothing personal, I just simply demonstrated that the advice you are giving out is factually wrong.
Now, everyone. What I did here is mathematics. You can accept it, or reject it. it is all up to you. But please don't come and argue and debate this with me, please. There is no room for that. It is like debating with me that 1+2 is not 3.
Waste of time,
This is data. Nothing more, nothing less.
Good luck!
