Cold Calling (Messaging) On Facebook For Jewelry
You don't have to hit every yard sale on the block anymore. You can use FB messenger or text messaging if you are using another platform to find yard sales/estate sales. (Like estatesales dot net or gsalr dot come or something) You want to target sales from NON-official estate sale companies. You want family run/private, pop up advertisements for these sales, not commercial estate sales. You also don't have to limit yourself to yard/estate sales. If someone is selling shoes, ask for jewelry. If someone is selling antiques, ask for jewelry. You can send 20 messages in 10 minutes once you get good at it. Search on Thursday and Friday nights and blast your messages. Get your foot in the door before the sale, or get a private appointment for jewelry only! Here's a script, tweak it to fit the need: Hi! I live in (city), I saw your yard sale ad and I [won’t be able to] or [wasn’t able] to make it unfortunately. I’m curious if you have any old costume jewelry for sale? I support my family as a full-time reseller and I’m not afraid of the gaudy/dusty/dirty! Some of grandma’s old bling can be pricey! I also buy [insert side venture here, coins, makeup, perfume, handbags, whatever…], as well as offer no charge evaluations if you’d simply like some help, no pressure to sell. If not, always seeking referrals for any friends or family looking for help with any of these things. I give finder/referral payments if it works out! Feel free to msg me back here, or text if you’d rather communicate off Facebook: [insert number here] (The local area code helps them see you are in fact local.)
