Why is outbound cold calling the best lead generation strategy?
To evaluate a lead generation it has to be scalable, low cost per lead, trackable and low start up cost.

1) Scalability- It is extremely easy to both scale up and own with cold callers. We can get you started in under a week and add new callers within a couple of days.

2) Low Cost per lead- I get this question all the time. The easy response I give is "You know why you get so many cold calls all day? Because it works"

3) Trackable- You have to know where your leads are coming from. We can precisely measure your cost per lead.

4) Low Start up cost- There is no set up cost to our service. It's just data and callers.

If you have not hired an outgoing cold calling service for your real estate needs, why not?

[Ken Hartog @Ken_Hartog]

We have just added 15 new callers. If you want cold calling services, drop a DM.

[Ken Hartog @Ken_Hartog]

@CaseyMericle Not harsh enough. Do those things ever sell?

[Ken Hartog @Ken_Hartog]

@joethelandguy @MailJumbo I totally agree. It's just a matter of tens of thousands of calls. That's why hiring a call center is key.

@marioEbrown Real estate is the only product where the gov expects the private sector to subsidize it.

If you're marketing is a struggle, you're doing it wrong.

[Ken Hartog @Ken_Hartog]

Got a RE agent 3 hot leads in their first week with us. If they close one of these, the commission will pay for the service for a year.

Got this:
Hey, finally getting a chance to respond. I doubt this has anything to do with MetLife’s investment portfolio.

It sounds like he has a permanent policy (not term), so my guess is that the cash value net of insurance costs accumulated over all the years may be running low, and the premium he is paying is not enough to support his future insurance costs (these increase by age).

He should call his agent or general number to get an illustration for his policy. They will be able to walk him through all this.

The illustration projects when the policy will run out based on his current premiums. He can continue the policy if he increases the payment. Or let it lapse if he doesn’t need it anymore

@djh11375 @jefffeldman I have a buddy. I'll ask him what that means.

[Ken Hartog @Ken_Hartog]

One of the most underrated things about using offshore employees, aside from the obvious savings, is the ability to scale up and down quickly.
In good times, you can add people in a matter of days. If they don't work out, you can fire them quickly.
It's much harder to do onshore with laws and other factors.

"Wholesaling real estate is a sales and marketing business. Not a real estate business."-@coleruudjohnson
He's right. It's just about getting leads. It has nothing do with real estate. Could be selling Dental insurance. RE is just the product.

[Ken Hartog @Ken_Hartog]

@joethelandguy Why? All you need to do is quickly put away $20 million and you'll have plenty of cash flow? Easy peasy.

[Ken Hartog @Ken_Hartog]

If you can do 10,000 cold calls per month yourself, go for it.
If you don't want to do that, why not hire a service that can do that for you? All you need is ~1 sale a year to pay for the yearly expense.

[Ken Hartog @Ken_Hartog]

@joethelandguy Nice job!

[Ken Hartog @Ken_Hartog]

@CaseyMericle @daveseeburger You should see the 5 minute rate

Am I the only one who couldn't sleep last night knowing that Saquon Barkley and other running backs are only getting $11 million per year?
It's a disaster.

[Ken Hartog @Ken_Hartog]

@land_entitler OK. DM me.

[Ken Hartog @Ken_Hartog]

Results are in.
Who wants a free week of cold calling for RE leads?

[Ken Hartog @Ken_Hartog]

I'm feeling generous today.
Who wants Real Estate leads?
Which would you prefer?

[Ken Hartog @Ken_Hartog]

Agreed. I compare it to FB ads. It's not for brand building.
I think if you deliver great value for the leads that are brought to you, you can enhance your brand.
It's not scammy. It's a lead. We don't target seniors or people who might be in mental distress. We target people that might be interested in the product we are selling.

@constantraise I am in no way knowledgeable enough to discuss the environmental impact of rooftop solar.
I can just (barely) work through a spreadsheet showing if I put in $xxx that I get out a little bit more than $xxx
