However there is a lot of value in the ability to thump someone's chest over a telephone call.

Absolutely within an hour.The bigger issue is two fold.1) having the right script2) understanding things like pacing, mimicking, positive /negative reinforcements, embedded commands and the use of silence.IMHO learning telephone technique is as important as learning how to put a deal together..

On the internet there are sites that you can put in a name & address to do a reverse telephone number search to contact people by phone instead of mail.

Or, hire someone to put them up on wood telephone poles.Good luck!

However I also remember the 1800 dollar telephone bill while out of the county on vacation because I had deals going on and thought I need ed to call my office staff.Can one have a job and a few rentals yes.

I follow up their answer with a favor question to stick by their telephone and I will call them back within 10 minutes.

That telephone will make a man out of you or kick your ***.

I was a broker and investor but I had my secretary with me, she wanted to learn investing, and did become a successful investor, any way I came back with a telephone book and had my secretary requesting one address at a time and finally when the light went on in the clerks brain she said come back tomorrow I'll have a list for you.

I can be reached by telephone at XXX-XXX-XXXX.
