PPC has various applications including social media.Direct mail has many faces and multiple targets.Besides what you have mentioned above, if we assume that networking is all forms of in person communicating, PPC (together with SEO) is all forms of internet marketing, and direct mail to be inclusive of the wide variety of lists and media available, then I can only think of a small number of communication methods you are missing:Email Telephone (Calling and texting)Visual (Bandit Signs, Billboards, TV)Audible (Radio, Podcast)What people usually mean when starting a conversation like this is "how can I spend less and make more" which is a valid question, but my guess is that if you applied yourself more fully to any of the channels you currently have going you could increase your deal flow.

They normally have to have someone call back, at their own leisure. 3) They have not been able to keep up with their system to send the right documents to us on-time to review ie we got a report that a window on the door was broke, ten days after it was reported to the company.

I have gone to two seminars from TV flipping stars out here in Southern California and can warn you that they are nothing more than an entertaining show and high pressure sales pitch to get you to buy their full plan (which others that go through it rate very poorly).  

do you give the tv right away or after 5 years?

Good luck having them pin it on you with out a neighbor saying they saw you haul out the tv.

And they're asking questions that I have already answered a long time ago - Do I allow kids, do I have a yard, what size is my TV, etc....Is this just me, or are some others having problems as well?
