I'm looking into various cold calling companies to help generate leads. Any realtors out there can suggest any and explain your experience with them? Thanks!

Cold calling and cold texting do not work and are two of things in the most jeopardy right now for lawsuits (texting has so many fines coming its way). It's not a sound way of doing business, especially if you hire some random VA to call for you in an area they know nothing about.

Agents should always be building their sphere and creating warm inbound marketing from social media, events, and meetups instead of doing spray and pray. Everyone knows realtors if they are consumer, it's very unlikely a cold call is going to warrant even an answer these days with call screening.

What type of businesses do you want to cold call, and what is your angle specifically?

@Jennifer Stammberger did you ever find a good one? I've been searching myself for 2 years now and have yet to find one good cold calling company, I've even tried to hire off upwork directly. Struck out

@Steve Meyers I’ve been running this with some success with a local cincinnati agent on 2+ units and nationally with a commercial broker for shopping centers. Data is the most important part of the success.

I wouldn't hire out for the cold calling I would do it yourself. Become really good at it and refine the skill. Most of the deals I do are off-market and they are sourced from cold calling. It's also how I find deals to buy as an investor as well. It takes a lot of practice and sucks in the beginning, but if you stick with it long enough and keep improving it will be worth it

Have to laugh at the guy who said cold calling and cold texting don't work. Made 6 figures in GCI doing that in 2024. I did hire a VA to cold call like 12,000 people and it was useless. Do it yourself and get good at it. Thats what I do and I am good at it. I don't call people on the DNC list, same with texting. It works...but any marketing works, it just depends.

It works I agree - the key is finding the right person to do it. That is the problem and many give up way to early.

Hey John. Interested to hear why you think texting is bad? Do you mean just for "cold texting" or even when interacting with clients or responding to real, actual leads?

Think at least for the text standpoint it is challenging in this market now where I know personally 3 people that have been in lawsuits with one ringing in at $500,000 for cold text messages to people that did not want to be marketed to, so to @Jonathan Greene point on that for sure.

I think that cold calling is a true skill that really no one (or 1%) will end up doing, and I 100% agree that VAs do not do it right.. Even if you find a VA to do it for you, how do you coach them along the scripts and everything else if you truly do not know how to do it? Do the cold calling yourself and that is where the true magic is as you can see with @Peter Tverdov success at doing it and getting a ton of money out of those conversations.
The last point that I would make is you need to get into 3-4 pillars of the business that you will have for the long haul of real estate. Some people do SOI, some people do mailers, some cold call, and some do events.. The list goes on. I would recommend trying all of it out of you are new and then zeroing in on 3-4 that you really like and start to get good at in your market.
