You need a squeeze page for sellers, buyers, and private money.I use optimize press 2.0.Get the lead and convert.Use video email, I use www.bombbomb.comYou can drip 3 - 5 emails.

We use the same MLS software and last night I got the same thing.I have several saved searches/auto emails setup so I can know when certain things come on and off the market and last night the system deactivated every search I had because it responded with more than 400+ listings for each search all at once; which I guess is too much for the system to handle.I went back in this morning and manually checked and reset it, wasn't legit.

If you haven't heard postage is going up this month. 1st class is going up 3 cents and postcards are going up 1 cent.http://about.usps.com/news/national-releases/2013/pr13_077.htmIf you plan on doing a lot of in house direct mail it is probably worth stocking up on forever stamps.Really we all should have done this last week to write it off as a 2013 expense but since that ship has sailed don't get screwed twice!

I did send him an email addressing some of my concerns and offered some references of my own.

This has also limited my ability to try out direct mail and other sourcing ideas.

Also, if I haven't gotten their attention, as one mentor has pointed out to me, I don't want to force them into it, I want them to be 100% on board and confident, so how do I make them feel that way and grab their attention from the first call/open house/ mailing/ or which ever mode of approach I end up going with.Once again you guys are awesome and have helped so much.

Frankly, I think you're on the right path as you are trying to identify the opportunities from different angles.If you are comfortable with the idea of mailing, calling and door knocking, you can become one of the local experts.
