I have definitely outsourced such things as printing, preparing and mailing letters. I am a firm believer in outsourcing what others can do for much less than your time is worth. I am also of the firm opinion that the planning and strategy of your marketing campaigns should never be outsourced. I think that is one thing that no one can do as well as you.
hey jasonvanorden, i use www.custom-mail.com for all my postcard outsourcing. It only costs 23 cents a card for, which is for the stamp, and the labor is free. So in other words, I am paying the same amount of money as I normally do, but i have a company that oursource to do all the labor. Not to mention, I am saving money on address labels and ink. The way this outsourcing company makes its money is through an arrangement that they have with the USPS in which they get 23 cent stamps at 19 cents a stamp.
Jasonvanorden, if you have a better source i would be very interested in it. Please share, thnx.
I use Ad Words and the Creative Investor for almost all of my advertising. I had my first $500k lead with in 20 minutes of starting my ad campaign, after that I started winding down my other forms of Ads.
In all different fields of endeavor there are many people competing against one another, all striving for the gold ring, albeit, real estate agents, mortgage brokers, real estate investors, stock brokers and the list goes on and on.
There is always the top 20% in these fields that are very successful and the other 80% are also rans.
So you have a choice, study, gain knowledge and apply that knowledge to become one of those in the top 20% or become an also ran.
It is not about how many. It is only about you and what you can do to become one of the ones in the top 20%.
About your bench question, here again it is not about whether benches will get the job done as they are only one form of many ways to advertise.
What is important is how strong your message is to have someone pick up the phone to call you. How many folks do you suppose called about whether they had artistic talent from messages on a match book covers?
Great answer John... Realtors have had the same fear for decades.. In our city, Bakersfield there are 2400 agents and we sell 1100 houses a month, you do the math, it isn’t pretty.
Somehow the top 20% do 80 percent of the work which leaves 20 percent of the homes sold to 80 percent of the agents..
The investment business is the same. We have primary income earners, secondary income earners and then those that want the title of investor who don’t do any deals..

Thanks

The email addresses are not from a list that I bought. They were compiled by my assistant from searching the internet.

And in a capitalistic society we need all three.
