@Javier D. Hey Javier! That sounds interesting, I can imagine how the personal touch made a difference. Thank you for providing the template! What would you say the ratio of letters to deals were?

@Umar Awan Hi Umar! Thank you for your feedback! Could you please tell me a little bit more about how you did your direct mail campaigns? How much mail did you do and who did you target?

@Jay Hinrichs Hi Jay, thank you for the feedback. I have considered door knocking, but it is a little intimidating to face possibly angry home owners. Do you have any numbers on how many door knocks it took to land a deal?

@John K.

Hi John, I could see your reasoning with that. Do you have a skip tracing or number lookup company that you recommend that gives accurate numbers? Would love any recommendations. I tried peoplesfinder and all calls went to voicemails. Thank you for your help.

@McKinley Crowley Hi McKinley. Thank you so much for your feedback! I was under the impression that postcards will stand out more as they are more vibrant, and dont need to be opened. However, I can see the value of letters being more convincing. Thanks for the insight!

@Ehsan Rishat thanks Ehsan!! That puts things into perspective. 8k-10k per mailout, doesnt that end up being very costly?
