Building a strong network and fostering meaningful partnerships can also open doors to new markets, innovative strategies, and valuable resources that can propel your real estate investment endeavors to new heights.

One of the benefits of working with a broker is they have access to databases, like Catalyst, that do show expired and withdrawn listings.

You could get into technical sides of things, like how to imbed and track pixels from ads through to lead capture forms, email click through rates, A/B testing, open rates, conversion rates, lead acquisition costs, customer acquisition costs, headline/subject line writing, etc.On the persuasion side: The Catalyst by Jonah Berger, The Jolt Effect by Matthew Dixon, but there are also countless sales training, sales psychology, influence people, type books out there.

What innovative or underutilized strategies have you found effective in growing your buyer's list?
