Once folks realize this is a belly to belly business their close ratios go way up... now of course if the sellers are out of area or out of state then you MUST give good phone to be successful and that is another discipline you must learn.. you must be very good.

Getting belly to belly with people who know other people? 

Lastly, a program - and sometimes these are the most costly - is something that you enter much like you would enter a college degree - knowing that the juice is worth the squeeze meaning you know exactly what you are going to get on the other end.Its unfortunate that all three often get lumped into one category so i would advise people to read the early part of this thread where you broke this distinction down as well.See ya - Chris

Will Sifert You have already received some great advice... well, except for Michael Quarles ;) Unless you are planning on sending thousands of letters out, I personally suggest juicing every phone call through a friendly, yet professional conversation.

Mailing 3 My name is and I help people with get out of debt, payoff liens,.... call or visit my website Mailing 4 Testimonial of someone you have helped out The above are ideas to get your juices going but you need to create a campaign and stick to it.

I hear the fall from grace can be long and hard.....Hey Bill Gulley,To go back and read your belly aching comments in this thread it looks a little out of context with you having 100 influence as compared to when you had like 70 or whatever it was.

Some will be belly to belly letters and some will be Wall Street.  

Mike, that's much like any franchise, that they have money, not only to pay the fees but not go belly up casting a cloud over the blue sky, then they need to be excited and excitable, follow instructions and perform in the manner adopted by the franchise as a lose cannon can sink the ship. :)

I also build specs(actually my MONEY builds them) to keep the juices flowing in Texas and Utah and have posted several threads here on bigger pockets with the results.

Like my dad always said RE is a Belly to Belly business...
