Hello Alberto,Other ways to get leads without cold calling are:- SEO marketing - This will require a substantial investment and you will likely not see any results for at least 5-6 months.

No matter what you need, marketing website seo, specific questions, strategy, legal advice, networking, financial calculators and more you can find it here.

Find one marketing strategy and stick to it until you get good at it (Bandit Signs, SEO, cold calling, door knocking)If you need help, I wholesale in Detroit!

When it comes to wholesaling you need to be an expert at lead generation.The best lead gen is of course  SEO.
