@Kenneth McCuistion It is ideal if you can answer calls live but if that is not possible and you are just starting off I would make a really friendly voice mail message saying that you return all calls and ask that they leave their name number and property address and you will get back to them as soon as you possible (and then make sure that you are doing follow ups daily when you are off your day job) maybe time block from 5-7 for those calls/appointments.As for the direct mail you can always outsource it if it is too much to do in house.
