Following Up Without Being A Pest
The 'Not so Secret' Way I Close Huge Deals: FOLLOWING UP Relentlessly. (Read the bottom to view upcoming Free Courses + Training). Most people starting out will make their calls. But they NEVER follow up. Some deals take years (I'm Just Keeping It Real)... Below, I'm sharing an email (from today) -- HOW I FOLLOW UP in a way that isn't greedy, needy or overreaching. Most people say "I'm just following up with you" ...EW!!! Instead, I wrote: "I drove by the property today and thought of you!" When you look at the screenshot. You can see the dates on the email. Key facts: He replied in February saying his Board meets in June. Well guess what, it's already June! (wtf). Pro tip: When you're starting out -- you don't need a CRM. And even today, I literally just use Google Sheets and Google Calendar Reminders. (100% free). Less is more.. Next section: Working through a refinance. This is true for me...But if you're just starting out, you might say something like: "My partner just sold an apartment complex and is desperately looking to place the capital. Is there ANY opportunity for us to take a look?" **If you feel guilty about saying this, you are no longer lying, because I literally am!! See? We're partners now. (And other community members are also looking to buy deals, too). Anyways. I wanted to share this with you today. Also, side note: I'm going to be uploading some FREE courses + content + recordings on this subject and much much more soon. Including: *How to off-market deals (just like this). Deep dive on sources / lists / strategies. *What to say to them! (Sales Course + Scripts + Live Cold-Calling sessions). *How to analyze deals (Quickly find out if it's a 'zero or a hero'). *How to put the deal under contract (I'll include my sales agreement for you to use). *How to structure the offer to where you don't put any money at risk. *How to conduct due diligence (analyzing both income and expense statements). *How to find the end buyers.
