Contacting a potential buyer - call or email?

Contacting a potential buyer - call or email?

Hi,

I have contact information for several local potential buyers. They are larger wholesalers. I am ready to begin building my buyers list, starting with contacting those who info I have pick up along the way, via various methods.

Should I call them personally or email them? It doesn't matter much to me, however if buyers would prefer email, I don't want call and vice versa. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

    I don't know if people here would know whether buyers would prefer email or a phone call since they're people just like you and I. I don't think because they're buyers that puts them in some kind of category for communication preference. However, that being said, I think it's probably wise to do both. If they're larger wholesalers then they're probably busy people. A phone call might get missed or they may not have time to list all their criteria on the phone. Email is convenient because they can answer it at whatever time suits them. So you may just want to call them to introduce yourself and ask if it's ok for you to send an email about what you can do for them in their hunt for deals and ask them to reply with whatever criteria they have. Just my 2 cents.

    And a very good 2 cents Andrew... thanks for the feedback!

    I do know that until I contact them, I won't know their contract preference, however I was looking for feedback from others who might have found that in contacting buyers there seems to be a general preference.

    Anyone else?

    Thanks,
    Danielle
