SEO, cold calling, networking, hitting up probate attorneys, hanging outside the funeral parlor..... ok maybe not that one but point is the strategies are all but endless AND THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK. 

I'm having trouble with it as a thought exercise and would prefer to see cold, hard numbers.

If the laundry gets hot or cold, I would add ac/heat.

Make sure you're complying with TCPA guidelines before cold calling!

I've seen people on FB advertise cold calling services which seems interesting.

In a dream world - the comprehensive solution does all this: *task management and sequencing where you can drop a property into a sequence ie day 1 call, day 2 mailer (have it automatically mail out something like a postcard) day 3 etc etc etc*project management outside of the outreach sequences for what's next in the process ie schedule inspection, send the contract, etc etc*ability to have multiple users drive around and if you see a property you can tag an address and add it into a marketing sequence, and also track the streets you've hit so you're not wasting time driving by the same houses more than once *dialer (ability to parallel dial numerous numbers simultaneously to make cold calling more efficient - Ive used tools like orum and kixie in other industries, and when you receive a pickup, the other calls are dropped) *skip tracing/data provider *website landing page for converting online visitors to leads*electronic signature/docusign*secondary branded landing site on different URL for blasts for deal disposition to your buyer listWhat am I missing? 

Less EVs in the cold, I know, but thanks for the idea!

If you're hesitant to spend $16K, start with a book or two, such as 'Performance Anxiety', by Gordon Moss.

If the problem is you have to get on the phone and cold call, for some it might be too uncomfortable to jump on a call - or worse - face rejection. 

I am currently cold calling and door knocking in those areas.
