. :)I think it's better than the alternative.

If you position them as warm prospects rather than as a waste of time, your chances of conversion go way up.Also, you may want to consider alternate exit strategies for yourself.

Before I really dig into that, however, we want to travel.The plan is to sell our assets and drive a truck and camper around the world.

, I do A LOT of miles a month in my truck and just like you, I'm actually genuinely excited to get in there and turn the podcast to Better Pockets IMMEDIATELY.

I've learned a ton and it keeps me sane on my commute, a huge benefit in a state that simply alternates snow and road construction!

I am going to offer a couple of alternative thoughts for you, primarily because you mention a possible layoff coming.

It seems like a waste to pay someone to answer the phone live when only 25% are potentially motivated leads.On my first YL campaign I did what Sean Terry said and made it sound like a personal voicemail, but I have a feeling this caused a lot of people to think they were calling the wrong number so I got a ton of hangups.I have my mail-merge postcard going out this coming Monday and I am going to try the voicemail recording method to weed out the curious callers.I the have the dreaded "Full Time Day Job" so I don't have the option to answer the majority of the calls, so I am kicking around the best alternative method.I will let you know how it goes and please keep us up to date on what seems to work the best for you!

Business cards, Doorknocking, newspaper ads, Magnet sign on your car/truck works.  

@Reno LawThis situation is rife for the seller (wholesaler/realtor) Bypassing the MLS limits the property's exposure significantly because most real estate company websites receive feed from the MLS, so listings are widely distributed.Not all agents search these alternated listing site's (Zillow, Realtor.com) so they won't know about your property.

I have been researching ways that offer an alternative to invest my money, instead of throwing it into the good ole' stock exchange.
