People don’t like calling, but that is where the money is!

Alright let’s get back to the basics. 

If you wanna do deals you should be making a ton of calls everyday.

You should cold calling new prospects, following up with all of your scheduled leads DAILY, and every once in a while checking in with your network and looking for deals you could partner on with other investors.

I tell this to new investors all the time and they don’t like to hear it. They’re hoping that I can give them a magic secret that allows them to do deals without having to hardly talk to anybody.

But that’s not how this business works. Unfortunately you are going to have to talk to a lot of people EVERYDAY if you want to win.

Things don’t happen on their own, money doesn’t come to you, you have to go out and find it.

Making calls is hard. And everybody wants to come up with excuses for why they’re too good for the hard uncomfortable work. 

But that work is what’s gonna actually get you paid. 

If you’re not willing to do it, especially when you have limited resources to invest in people or other forms of marketing, then you’re not gonna get deals. Plain and simple.

Accept the fact that it’s going to be painful and there are going to be long periods where you hate what you’re doing and probably won’t see any results for your labor.

But eventually if you stay relentless and just don’t quit, things will come around for you, you will get better, you will figure out how to speak, what to look for, and you’ll realize how many calls it actually takes to get deals to the finish line.

It’s a frustrating process when you’re new, but I promise you it’s worth it.

If you wanna be successful, don’t be the guy that complains and objects to cold calling and follow up and looks for other options…

Accept that this is what you’re going to have to do at least until you’ve done some deals, and then GO AND DO IT!

Networking hacks to win more deals
If you’re newer to wholesaling and you wanna be successful, you can’t be afraid to reach out to flippers and landlords.

Get properties under contract!
If you don’t get properties under contract, you have no inventory and without inventory, making money wholesaling is impossible. Hesitation leads to missed opportunities. Getting more properties under contract increases your chances of doing deals and there’s little to no downside to it. When you’re generating leads and you find a property that could be a deal, even if the numbers feel ti...
Quality lists matter
No matter what form of marketing activity you’re doing, whether you’re making calls, sending direct mail, email or sms blasting, door knocking, etc. It’s really important that you target prospects that show some sort of indicator of motivation.
