An amount that won't break you.  An amount that won't devastate you if you don't get a single response.

I think I remember hearing in the Michael Quarles podcast he spends upwards of $40,000 a year in advertising/yellow letters.  So he probably has a dud or ... ten?  I think you just have too  small a sample size to go off of.

Like the saying goes "if you aren't embarassed by your offer, it's too high"... I don't know how people ever accept the offers that are so low.

After lead generation and marketing yourself like crazy, what would be the next most important items for a real estate agent to do?

@Jeremy Carl , no unfortunately l Im unavailable on the 10th, I was hoping I'd be able to make it.  Im sure it'll be successful and there will be more meet ups I can attend!

I hope to get my real estate license in late January and quit my current job to become a full time agent/investor!

Karen Pena hosted two investor meetings for Orlando folks a few months ago, I had hoped to attend but naturally I wasn unable to.  Not sure what the turnout was for her events but she did a great job getting the word out.

How many of you still expect to recieve a business card when making new connections or networking?   Seeing as it's almost 2015... Im wondering if they are still relevant in the technology age.
