Its the only reason Budweiser will spend millions next Sunday promoting the purchase of a product that we have already bought.

The CRTC Unsolicited Telecommunications Rules uses the following definition of solicitation:"Solicitation" means the selling or promoting of a product or service, or the soliciting of money or money's worth, whether directly or indirectly and whether on behalf of another person.

I think people hire agents based upon their brand, the capabilities of their business system, ability to market & promote, etc.  

They promote their self interests without regard for rules that are in place.The problem I see with your letter is that you are conducting a real estate activity.

I cant actually type it since it would be self promotion.

Add to that that women aren't socialized for self-promotion (partly because most of us have bigger fish to fry than fluffing up our egos), so we're not clamoring to get on the mic. 

For example, purely informational messages — to say your flight was cancelled, remind you of an appointment or tell you that school is opening late — are allowed as long as the business doesn’t use the call to promote the sale of any goods or services."

Tire kickers are likely not motivated to sell on their first call, but if they (or someone they know) ever becomes motivated, it is imperative that you are prepared from that first call to promote yourself as a professional who can provide a solution to their problem.  

If you do this a couple months in a row you will become the candy man and will have embedded into the brain of people who can promote that you buy and sell houses.You could take this one step farther and create a mini flyer wrap around a chocolate bar and deliver them that way but the two or three pieces of candy is less expensive and the fact that you deliver a business card they can hold onto is more powerful than a wrapper that will be thrown away.

Its sad how that end of the business is promoted on BP... or talked about on BP.. with out thought to the seller and what a pickle you can put a seller into if you don't close.
