vanity number = The Key to Finding Deals

Hello Everyone,


I just recently joined and as I was reading a number of different articles, i noticed a common theme, many of you are having trouble finding deals. I have been buying over a hundred (100) deals a year over the last few years.

I remember when I was only doing 3 to 5 deals a year and the only difference was that I was not marketing my business. I was doing direct mail and bandit signs. It wasn't till i came across the idea of using a vanity number that i realized that if I wanted to grow my business I needed to think big. I have been using a vanity number to run Tv Commercials and billboards.

The response was incredible even in my Market in Sacramento, CA where we tend to be higher priced compared to the rest of the country.

This was the best decision i made, not only do i have sellers calling me, but we have agents and brokers that see our advertizing and they call me when a deal is falling apart and we can step in an close it.

If you want to take your business to the next level invest in a marketing system. It makes it easier for you to help them out and provide a solution.

The vanity number is key. People watch the commercial and remember the number for months, even years. It's a lot nicer to have leads coming to you, then you going after them.

Hope this helps if you have any questions feel free to send me a message i d me more than happy to give you my advise.

RC-- what are you selling here (I would be happy to personally field your overflow of leads)? I will agree that RC does get a lot of leads because I sometimes get his spill over. :)
