Hi everyone, I do cold calls for real estate and I know my accent is strong. I tend to read scripts word-for-word, which makes me sound flat. I want to sound more natural and conversational. What exercises or tips have helped you improve your phone voice?
Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi, Lina! I'm glad you reached out for help. The community here on BP is great about supporting each other. I'd like to invite you to participate in a group I host called THE MTR Connect. We meet (virtually) every Friday from noon - 1:30pm (EST). This group is an incredible collection of midterm rental hosts who support one another by offering advice and suggestions, being a sounding board for each other, offering mentorship and collaboration opportunities and share our respective networks. I think you'd find it very helpful in your situation. If you're interested, please send me a message and I'll get you signed up.
Best of luck to you!
Could you please send to me the group link? I also would like to join for connections

I’ve been struggling with no bookings for two months and low view rate, and to top it off, the city just set stricter rules for short-term rentals. Feeling a bit stuck—anyone else dealing with this? Would love to hear how you’re handling things! My listing is at Fremont, CA.

Any suggestions or ideas to convince the landlords for arbitration proposal? I have been trying to get landlords on board with my Airbnb arbitrage proposal, but I keep facing rejection.
I’m wondering if anyone here has had success with this model and could share some strategies that worked for them?
Are there specific ways to build trust or present the proposal that you’ve found particularly effective?
I included in the proposal the benefits for the landlords, such as no worries for vacancies, a 5% profit share on top of the rental rate and the provision of a professional cleaning team for their property. I also addressed their concerns about insurance options, as they expressed significant worries about that. However, I received rejections even after sending them my current work along with the pitch deck

I currently run a successful Airbnb and want to expand but am having trouble connecting with owners or real estate agents to help. Willing to pay finders fee.
I have a bunch, but depends on what market you're willing to get into and what price point too.
Do you have arbitrage approved properties lists for the Bay Area? My preferred areas are Santa Clara, Union City and Milpitas.

Quote from @Colby Hager:
Cold calling can be effective but so much depends on the caller, your sales angle, your list, etc… especially the list. You can have the best caller with the best pattern interrupt who is highly skilled but if they are calling a list that has been beaten to death by every call center and all the other investors out there, it won’t matter. So your list is crucial. If you can get the list easily, so can everyone else.
I don’t know about virtual driving for dollars so I can’t really speak to that other than to say that if the service you use is easily available to everyone else, I would imagine any leads are worked over and tone deaf to your efforts.
I actually love Facebook ads for REI. They work great, can be one of the most cost effective lead-gen methods out there when done right. Typically when I see failed Facebook ad accounts it's due to improper implementation rather than the platform itself. When done right, Facebook can go neck and neck with any other lead-gen method out there.
If you have the ability or the budget, building out a proper SEO strategy should be a top priority.
Google PPC is highly effective but the truth is most investors without a hefty advertising budget can’t or shouldn’t spend their dollars there.
What are you doing right now to generate leads?
I use cold calling method for generating leads but it is not effective as much as I thought. I got wrong numbers and most of the owners are not interested in selling their homes. Now, I'm trying to explore the virtual driving for dollar method to generate leads. I also would like to connect with you for your effective strategies on FB ads.
Anyways, appreciate your comment and suggestion.
