  1. Shan,

    If you think you and I are the oddity, the only ones that just think these letters look scammy. You are very wrong.

    And not even that they look like a scam. they simply, are weird, unprofessional, desperate, and deceiving. Yes you openly show the seller you tricked them into reading the letter. And thus inherently you start off on the wrong foot. This simply is fact, not opinion.

    Wholesalers swear by them.

    Maybe so.

    But not many people have the ability to really decipher and analyse a theory. 

    Let me explain.

    When people say "YL work". (and with YL I mean hand written YL), it is because they do not really validate YL. They validated the entire YL package. Envelope, the way the address is written,  printed vs. hand written, .. everything. 

    As far as I can tell no one did a true validation of YL vs. PL.

    For instance...

    If you send out 2 mail pieces One colorful invitation envelope, with hand written addressing with a YL inside,  and a white business envelope with a printed letter inside.

    Guess which one will be opened. and guess which one will probably be discarded. Yes the "YL" will be opened and the PL will be thrown away.

    So if they have targeted a MS then of course the MS will call the YL, because the other letter never has been opened. And what do people conclude? YL WORK OMG!!

    But did they?

    No! Of course not! They did not validate the actual YL.  The hand written letter did not do the trick. The entire YL package worked simply because the alternative package did not get opened. This was even before handwritten, vs pro typed came into play.

    But, if all the others want to stick to YL, GREAT! Please do! More deals for us with a brain!

    I will share my result after I have concrete proof :)


  2. I always said the same thing. Yellow letters look like scams. However, many successful wholesalers swear by them. 

    What is your plan now?
