@Doug Pretorius thank you so much for, there’s always going to be people that are going k say that you can’t do something because of your age but I actually know minors who are making great money starting their own businesses as well. On another hand, would a contract and a talk with a lawyer be really essential for me to do in the beginning before I start or is that something I should make sure I do before I start the whole venture?

@Doug Pretorius yeah that’s why I really wanted to have the contracts in place first before I do everything and that would be really expensive for me. And yeah I can definitely do the Skype crm to begin with, I just need to get in touch with a lawyer right now and that’s what s going to be really costly.

@Doug Pretorius it may just take some time to set everything up with this in order to get started. Also, I was thinking that I would need to save up some money to be able to start all of this (around 1k). What do you think about that, would I need more than that? Also, how long do you think it would take me to set all of this up then once I get the money saved up whatever that amount would be in order to startup. I would ideally like to start all of this within this summer though if that would be possible!

@Doug Pretorius I think I just found a way to integrate both with zapier. I can just integrate both of those Crm’s through zapier! By the way, thanks for all of the help, you don’t understand how much of a help you were! I’ll definitely keep in touch with you to let you know how everything goes with this!

@Doug Pretorius thanks for that in detail reply. I only now have maybe one or two more questions about this. For the VA and I, how would I make a database so we can write the details about the property into it? Also, how would my VA and I share it if I would be using mojo and the VA would be using Skype? Another thing I wanted to mention is would I be able to target investors as well as agents with something like this as well? It seems like this can work for both groups of people.

 Okay that makes a ton of sense to do the telemarketing service you're talking about then. So I'm just not too clear on how it'll work. You were saying that I would sell agents leads from people who are "thinking of moving", but wouldn't it be a service that I'm selling to the people though not a per lead thing then?

 Also how will the free sample and trial work then? I would have to give them all of that marketing for free? I don't really understand this, would I be selling per lead or for the service of calling the leads that I get? So how would the whole service work?

Another thing I wanted to mention was about the mojosells dialer. Will I need something like that for my VA and myself to use? Will I be able to track how many hours my VA is working and everything like that so I know how much to pay them? How does that dialer specifically work and what plans are necessary because I see that there's a ton?

Doug Pretorius I will be in touch with an attorney then to go over all of the contract stuff and everything like that. I was thinking of charging a couple hundred dollars per each lead because it would be almost like a bird dog fee from what I was thinking. I would be sending them to leads that are going to be selling now. I was thinking of doing it this way so that’s why I was going to be charging that way. But doing it in more of an agency type of way (like you were mentioning) is also something worth thinking about too. I’ll have to think some more and see because who would be willing to pay some random person $500 a month for doing that and not guaranteeing anything. I was just thinking that if I sell on a per lead basis I may be able to build a reputation and then go into something like that this way people can trust me. Let me know if you think otherwise and on your thoughts about the bird dogging pay per lead method as well!

Abhijeet Parihar thanks for the support, I will definitely try that out! Also for you and Doug Pretorius how much should I charge per lead? I was thinking if I already knew everything about the property and I knew the seller would sell I can sell each for a few hundred dollars if not more depending on location and everything. What are you thoughts?

Doug Pretorius so all of this sounds like a bulletproof business plan then. The only thing is the contracts. What contracts would I need then to ensure that everything goes well? Will an NDA be enough to ensure that I get payed and everything runs smoothly or will I need something else? Also, I thought I can sign those contracts as I minor (I read that online). Thanks for your contribution!
