I don’t want to come across as too pushy on my first phone call, and I fully understand it could take some time to nurture these relationships.

Remember, and I am borrowing this from Will, the REO business is about relationships - you will have to build and nurture the relationship to get access to the best opportunities.

Once you find one, nurture the relationship and they will be a huge asset to you.   

Children's behaviors are formed from nature(genetics) and nurture(how their raised).

You should be asking yourself, did I nurture and lay the right foundation down for your fire / purpose to burn no matter what challenge is presented to you?

Building and nurturing relationships with regional brokerages/brokers is another great way of being sent all offmarket deals they get.  7 out of 10 commercial properties we acquired in the last 15 months were received this way. 

Establishing and nurturing broker's relationships. 8 out of 9 CRE we closed in last 12 months were off market transactions. 

I want to wholeheartedly thank the founders and the BP community for birthing and nurturing, respectively, an invaluable education resource and support system with which I cannot wait to fully engage.Looking forward to seeing you guys around the forums and to helping those where I can.

These relationships need to be formed by the TOP REO brokers in your area, not ones with just a few REO listings and usually with a brokerage that specializes in REO's (in other words, an agent that works with Remax probably will not cut it)These relationships take time to develop and nurture.

Our company uses salesforce for very basic CRM purposes, but I am looking for something to help me stay in front of leads and have a nurturing and follow up system so that I can focus on closing deals that are more time sensitive in nature, but not forget about possible future deals.Does anyone have a suggestion for a program that wont break the bank, but can send drip campaign emails, texts, voicemails, and can categorize contacts, etc that is cost effective as I ramp up my business?
