speedingpenguin 19 Report post Posted May 18, 2011 I know at least one other lease/option teacher has his students doing voice blasts to classified ads for rent/ for sale by owner, and I'm sure it works (otherwise why would they be doing it?), I'm curious if anyone on here has tried this method and if so, is there typically a good response? Cold calling is well and good, but it's time consuming to weed through the sellers/landlords who aren't interested or are way out of line as far as what they expect to get for $$$ I'd rather be spending my time talking with slightly more pre-qualified leads so doing some voice blasts seems like the logical thing to try next (as far as working with FSBO/FRBO ads) Does anyone on here do this at all, and if so, have you had a decent response? What type of message do you send out when doing something like this? Any tips? I'm gonna try it with some older FRBO leads I haven't gotten to yet....

Michael Quarles 1 Report post Posted May 18, 2011 Although I dont think we have to adhere to the DNC there may be issues with voiceblasts and attending the call.. I would suggest hire someone off or Odesk for 3 bucks an hour and have them cold call. BTW you can load the telephone number into my text system and send an audio text...

MichaelC 160 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 I don't do voice blasts because whenever I receive one I hang up the phone. I hate being on the receiving end of those damn calls. I don't think I'm unique in this regard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedingpenguin 19 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 I'm the same way MC, so my own thought is "it wont work", but I hear about other people doing it / teaching it so it makes me wonder if maybe it does work sometimes? MQ, I checked out your text website a while back and tried it out, my only concern is that it's not from my phone number (or any local number, for that matter...) I've done text messaging with Google Voice (which is the number I use anyway) and had a decent response. Lots of "undeliverable"s though. Maybe I'll stick with that and just call the ones that don't make it through, unless anyone else has input on voice blasting? Thanks guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like any marketing method it will prove to have its pros and cons, and will certainly vary in effectiveness from person to person and from month to month. Someone trying it out this month might find success. Another person in a different locale might find it to be a flop. That same person with good results this month might find next month to be the opposite. Like all marketing, the strategy is a fluid one, always changing shape and form and offering varying results. As for people "teaching" it, all that tells me is this is yet another market for yet another guru to separate a gullible public from their money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedingpenguin 19 Report post Posted May 20, 2011 LOL Maybe I'll give it a shot using someone elses voice and name and see if it gets different results from me cold calling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
