Incoming Direct Marketing Response Word Tracks

I know this is a total long shot...

I've been in sales for a decade so I really don't have a problem with talking to people at all. In person or over the phone. The reason my sales skills improved over the years is I have had good sales managers/co workers/mentors that helped with my verbiage, timing, tact etc. I just left my job with my most recent employer and I'm entering REI full time. I am about to send out my first 1,000 mailers to pre-foreclosures and am excited to field the overwhelmingly brutal onslaught of people that will be blowing up my phone day and night begging me to buy their house.....jk....I'm fully prepared for my 1-10 calls. However, when those 1-10 calls come in, I want them to count.

So here's what I'm assuming is a long shot....

 Are there any marketers out there in BP land, wholesalers or rehabbers, that by chance record their incoming calls and might be really proud of some of them? More specifically, proud enough to share them. I would LOVE to get a feel for how these conversations might go, initial objections that come up, and how to handle some of the hot heads that want to curb-stomp me for being so bold as to send them such a tactless mailer.

If I am correct in thinking that what I'm looking for does not exist or is just unavailable to me, does anyone have any tips, pointers, words of wisdom, things to avoid saying etc. concerning pre-foreclosure respondents (or any type of respondent).  

Thank you all SO MUCH in advance,

Ben Smith

if you search in the fileplace you can find plenty of scripts that most investors use when they get a phone call, also if you go on youtube you can just search for "motivated seller live call" and there are plenty of people who have posted videos. congrats on taking the dive into full time investing!
