But volume has it's downside too (marketing costs and the phone ringing off the hook).

So far I've had great response rates and the phone is ringing, but virtually every seller I talk to wants me to make them an offer before I've even had a chance to see their house or its condition.

I ring the doorbell...again and again...Finally, she opens the door ever so slightly and asks, "Can I help you?".

And you will close a lot more sales this way.It is important that you only let the telephone ring three times before hanging up.

They really get the phones ringing.

BUT, it's Sunday night, I have a doctor's appointment this week, my left knee hurts and I really need to get that checked out, I've launched some new marketing pieces and expect the phone to be ringing by Wednesday, I have a few rehabs going I need to check on, my truck is full of stuff that needs to be unloaded, I have an appointment with my bookkeeper this week.... 

Too many wait for the telephone to ring.

My phone was ringing ALL the time.The problem came when I couldn't handle the amount of calls and lead tracking.

Best advice I can give at this point - stop thinking, get mail out the door, and pick up your phone when it rings.

I did replace bathroom and kitchen faucets as well as connectors, replaced ceiling fans, shower heads, wall mounts, tubes and shower faucets, towel bars, paper rings, ... etc.
