generating leads easier for agent > investor?

[Devin Mann]

I'm a newly licensed agent and have been in the investor field for about a year now.  One thing i have learned, is that Cold calling is AWFUL in the investor field.

Working in the office, agents are all about it and they teach us to cold call.  Is finding leads for listings a lot easier then finding leads for investing?

what are some better ways for me to generate leads rather then cold calling?

PS: i have a bunch of leads for when i used to send a lot of direct mail that i am hoping i can capitalize on as an agent.
