@Zachary Bradigan

You did the @ with name right, sometimes your browser can be buggy and you have to wait a few seconds for it to work, or try a different browser. I know it works fine on the latest version of Chrome but I had to wait like 5 seconds before it popped up the box for me to select your name. When you select the name it turns blue.

So I read your post and I think I understand what you're saying. You're going to input the zipcode into listsource and sort by 2 and 3bedroom houses only. You should also add in high equity % as well if you're doing it that way.

Agree with both Ryan and Kerry that you should take a look at the templates out there rather than use the tiered system because you're limiting your response rates and lowering your negotiating power by doing so. Negotiating is a $10k/hour activity that you can hone from your marketing campaigns and it's always better to have the other party state their $ figure first. You'll also want to learn to listen for distress and motivation and learn how to communicate the facts that support your position and weaken their price - e.g. the roof has 1-2 years of life left and will cost $5k to fix and the comps are for houses in pristine condition... etc

These are some solid questions - part of the negotiations you're making is to make sure he understands the hassles he's leaving behind when he takes your offer. That's why asking questions like these that Mike recommended strengthen your negotiating position.

What do you want out of a CRM - what key features? I'm curious. I'm not familiar with freedomsoft personally but I have detailed notes from reading a lot of messages on BP of what people have to say and this is what I have written for freedomsoft:

"Freedomsoft – CRM software used for lead generation

“My subscription still works, not sure if they (Preston & Co) have made any major updates in the past 2 years. They do have some cool features like using IFTTT that will pull in leads from CL right into the program. Also lets you setup buyer and seller capture pages....some cool stuff.” Derrick Watkins

Pros: 14 day free trial, geared towards real estate, MLS integration
Cons: Expensive and not much information about itCost: Needs confirmation, their company hides the cost from their website: “$97, $197, or $297/mo” from online review"

2 mailings is not enough passes for sure. Lots of responses come after 4+ passes with some responses coming after 12+ touches. If you 'cut your losses' you are throwing away your money because it takes time to build recognition and your mail has to arrive when there's actual motivation or no action is taken. It's like planting a flower and hoping that it'll grow in days if you're only doing 2 mailings.

@Zachary Bradigan

Agree with Ryan. Also, you should use every door direct mail if you're going to target the whole subdivision of 1000 houses if you're short on time. If you aren't and it's close to you, you can do a more targeted campaign by walking or driving for dollars in that subdivision.

@Jeffrey Sturman

Yeah you should talk to @Matt McConkey, that's his area and his excellent at doing DM.

At reSimpli we listen to our customers and they wanted help with scripts for talking with sellers for all the responses they've been getting by using our direct mail module so we built a CRM with a script. No other CRM out there has this feature! 

https://dashboard.resimpli.com/

The Customer Relationship Management (CRM) module with built in script is free and there will always be a free version available. More capabilities will be added in future releases as well.

Current features include:

- All-inclusive script to guide you in asking the right questions to sellers to capture information for follow-up

- The ability to schedule and track your appointments to know when to follow-up on the responses you receive for your marketing

- Google API functionality, sign up is easy and free

- Zillow incorporated functionality - just enter an address and it'll populate the data from zillow for you

- The ability to use google streets to walk around the potential home and see the pin where your house is so you don't get lost

If you're not using a CRM, your conversion rates are suffering which means less deals and less profits. Follow-up is key in our business. So come use our free CRM and take your real estate investing to the next level!

@Rodney Harris

There are big websites like listsource.com that provide that info but they charge a little more. I know of a source that has similar but different data at a much better price, sending you a PM with the info.
