Someone asked Alex whether keeping their 24-hour recorded voice system was still a smart thing to do. After reading this question, Alex immediately got onto Facebook Live to answer it. Alex has seen tremendous results from switching out his recorded voice system to having a real person take the calls live. Don’t leave money on the table like he did!

Key Takeaways:

• Q: Should we still be using a 24-hour recorded voice system, like Freedom Voice, to have homeowners leave messages to?
• Alex switched up his system, and started taking calls live.
• You can 3x-4x your results, just by implementing this one thing.
• If you’re working solo, then this is a position you might want to hire out.
• FYI, you should not go for the sale on the phone. You do want to meet with the homeowner/buyer/seller in person.
• When you’re on the phone with a prospect, find out what their motivations are, and whether this person is the right fit for you.
• Call the people who have hung up back!
• Following up in this way also gives you an excellent opportunity to work with other wholesalers in the area.

Alex talks about the same client he spoke about on last week’s Q&A show, the one who decided to pay for a cheaper VA. Because of this discussion, Alex’s client is now overwhelmed with other additional tasks and doesn’t want to spend money in critical areas, like marketing, until she can close a deal. Alex explains why this is a mistake, especially in real estate!

Key Takeaways:

• Alex continues his discussion from last week’s Q&A episode and talks about one of his clients who was struggling with a bad VA hire.
• Alex’s client was overwhelmed, so she had to stop marketing in order to keep up with the leads. Mistake!
• Alex told her to focus on 10 specific zip codes, but it was a catch 22, because she wanted to get a lead in before spending more money.
• We’re all guilty of this behavior, but this is why you need to change your mindset.
• Learn from Alex’s mistakes.
• Your business dies if your marketing gets stopped.
• The problem here is you don’t know whether the leads you currently have will work out for you. This is why you need more coming in, just in case!
• Sometimes Alex doesn’t close a deal until 3-4 months later.
• The good news is, Alex’s client listened to him and now she’s getting it done! Crisis averted!
• The x amount of money you’re spending on your marketing budget, comes back to you 10x, 20x, and sometimes 50x.
• Ran out of capital to run your marketing campaign? Then it’s time to knock on doors and hustle. There’s always something you can do to drive leads!!!
• Do you want to hear more client case study calls? Let Alex know!
