I work in Canada Toronto and I’ve seen similar results. Has anyone tried using any of these lead generation companies? We have AgentLocator here but I wonder how good their leads are?

Thx.

Just thought I would mention … yellow letters we sent a year ago are STILL generating calls. And the best part is that the calls that come in now are people serious about selling their house. We went and looked at one two days ago. We couldn’t come to an agreement on price but I think that they will probably call us back in a couple of weeks because they have to sell by December 1st and the timeline could get tight for them pretty quickly… anyway … the yellow letters didn’t generate the same TYPE of motivated sellers that it does in the US but it works VERY well in Canada too. Shae – this post is awesome. I don’t remember reading it earlier this year so I’m glad you posted it in your newsletter last week.

Hi Chris, YES you can absolutely get started now. No reason to wait. Sure, having $1K a month will get you a lot more phone calls, but start with where you are, stay consistent, and grow incrementally as you can. Wish you the best!

I’m interested in starting some direct mail marketing but always had the mindset that I had to spend upwards of $1,000 a month to be effective. This blog made me realize I can start out slow with as little as $100 out of pocket, which will give me a head start on something that I thought I wouldn’t be able to do until a few months from now.

Great article Shae!

Hey Ron, definitely do it. I think you’ll find it to be worth your time and money for sure. The key to direct mail is CONSISTENCY. Don’t just mail out one month and be discouraged if you don’t get a deal…keep mailing.

Thanks Chris and Lamar! Lamar, hope you get 30% responses on your yellow letters! By the way, I had mine outsourced using CheapYellowLetters.com. They don't have minimum orders unlike many of the other companies. Of course you can also hire someone to create the letters and address envelopes, etc. for 50 cents or less per letter. .-= Shae Bynes´s last blog ..No email, no fax, nothin’? =-.
