I'll typically get between 3-6 return calls for every 100 numbers I shoot out. And out of those 3-6 return calls, I'll talk to 1-3 homeowners and usually get 1 lease-option deal.
It takes my assistant about an hour to copy & paste 100 numbers from online newspaper sites, classified sites, landlord sites, and FSBO sites.
Oh yeah, for each successful call that goes through I pay 12 cents. So if all 100 numbers go through, I only pay $12.
In my script, (which is less than 60 seconds so I don't get charged for a 2nd minute), I just mention the benefits of selling their property on a lease option, then I tell them to either call me back if they're interested or to visit my website for more information.
I send them to a squeeze page that captures all of their personal and property information, not just their first name and email. This way I can cherry pick the best ones to call back and not waste my time with the tire-kickers.
I don't specifically target lease option sellers because they are far and few in between. I collect phone numbers of landlords and FSBO's from online classified sites. I also collect phone numbers from the rental sites.
Helpful Hint: Landlords are much more susceptible to doing a lease option than FSBO's are.
No, I haven't used their virtual receptionist service. And yes, their prices are great. You should take them up on their 200 free calls offer and give it a go.
By the way, that free report you got from my website will show you how to set up a squeeze page and build a huge list of buyers or sellers.
Thanks for the reply jim. Searching on google for this I came across callfire. They're supposed to be 3.5cents/min. The problem is that I can't even get their test thing to work. Oh well....guess you get what you pay for.
I know this has been old thread, just in case anyone read this thread, I was able to make Callfire work for me but now the price is 5c/min. I am purchasing the On the Go so no monthly plan since I am trying it out.
