Post: Tracking Direct Marketing Campaigns with Podio

@Cassandra Ramirez- I am having the same dilemna. I currently use Podio to capture specific information for prospects that have responded to my marketing. I also keep track of direct mail campaigns (date sent, letter template, etc). I am stuck on how to connect number/frequency of mailings to specific prospects though, without entering the details of each mailing prospect into Podio before mailing them. I also am trying to make all of my systems compatible with my chromebook (google drive), so exporting to excel isn't an option. 

By the way, I highly recommend reading Scott Costello's material on Podio setup (strugglinginvestor.com).

Let me know if you've had any breakthroughs! Thanks!

This thread has made getting started with listsource a whole lot easier! Thanks everyone for that. Only one issue I'm running into, @Michael Quarles, the "Last Market Sale Date" doesn't seem reliable in my area. Using 7+ year ownership cuts my results down to single digits for the whole state.. somethings off. Have you found "Length of Residence" to work just as well or does that not account for absentee ownership?

@Account Closed I think you convinced me to go the conservative route on this one!

I have written permission from an owner to go into their house to see it before making an offer as a short sale. However, the house is boarded up and the owner now lives across the country.  Any thoughts on how I could legally get into the house? Can I remove (and then reinstall) the board myself and use a locksmith to get into the doors? Should I involve the town? Thanks in advance for any advice
