It’s a lot cheaper to keep an existing customer than to find a new one. In fact, it is nearly 10 times as costly to find a new customer as it is to keep a current one. So, what can you do to keep an existing customer?

Follow-up – do you check in with your customers to see how things are going?
Do you ask them what they thought of your service, did it meet their expectations?
Do you send them a thank you card, thanking them for their business?

A simple follow-up to thank the customer for their business can go a long way in reminding them of the experience they had with your business as well as keeping your name in front of them. You can also use the thank you follow-up as a way of reminding your customer to schedule their next visit or inform them about upcoming promotions.

There’s an article on us in the September/October issue of Personal Real Estate Investor magazine. It’s on page 43, and it talks about the effectiveness of handwritten direct mail. Pretty neat, huh?

This is a great question and the answer is… it depends. The biggest factor to consider when choosing a mailing list is your target audience. Are you looking for a property seller, a property buyer, or both?

Popular lists for finding property sellers include Pre-Notice of Default (Pre-NOD), Absentee Owner, and High Equity leads (also known as Free and Clears). A Pre-NOD lead is someone who is 30, 60 or 90 days past due on their mortgage, and they may need to sell their property to prevent foreclosure. Absentee Owner properties are typically vacation homes or rental properties, but can also be homes that someone has moved from but not yet sold. There are also High Equity leads, which are people with at least 50% equity in the property. For more information on these leads, click here.

The more frequently used lists for finding buyers include Renter and High Net Worth leads. Renter leads are people who are currently renting. They may be living in an apartment complex or a duplex. High Net Worth leads are people who have liquid assets of at least $1 million, and this list can be filtered by people who are or are not real estate investors.

These leads all come from credit bureaus, they are not public knowledge. This means someone using one of these lists will have much less competition for a property or individual because the information is not publicly available.

We have a new online special for each of these leads, order now before it’s gone!

It doesn’t matter how much I talk to you guys on the phone telling you how great Pre NOD Leads are for your business, there’s nothing quite like hearing it from the horse’s mouth. Listen to this voice mail that I got from one of my Florida customers on July 30, 2009. Once you hear this message, I’m sure you’ll understand why you should be calling me every 3 weeks to get YOUR list of Pre-NOD leads.

As you may already know, Than Merrill (Star of A & E’s Flip That House) launched Wholesaling University a couple of weeks ago.  It’s so exciting and dynamic, that I even signed up as a student of the University (and I’ve been wholesaling for 10 years).   But there’s something that’s even cooler than that.  Than Merrill PERSONALLY recommends that you use www.YellowLettersComplete.com to get all of your yellow letter direct mail done.  If you are a wholesaling University Student, be sure to check this out for yourself. Here’s How to Find it:

Login to Wholesaling U >  Go to Bonus Marketing Jumpstart > Listen to 1.7 Week 7 Pre-Foreclosure Direct Mail

In this video  (around the 38 minute mark of the video) Than Merrill tells you to use www.YellowLettersComplete.com for all of your pre-foreclosure direct mail needs.  HOW AWESOME IS THAT??

I’ve been designated as a Professor within Than Merrill’s Wholesaling University (which will be released in only a few days!!). I can teach any class that I choose, as long as it pertains to wholesaling/creative real estate. I want to know what YOU want to learn about, and what will make your business more successful.

Using the form below OR BY LEAVING A COMMENT ON THIS PAGE, enter a specific idea for a class. It has to be on a specific topic, and can’t be general. For example, “short sales” is too general, but “how to negotiate with the loss mitigation departments” is more specific. I’m open for any topic, so let your ideas rip!

You can submit more than one idea, that is perfectly fine with me. I will decide on which one I’ll be teaching and you can look for the announcement within the next week.

Thanks for your input – as always – it is greatly appreciated!

This is exciting stuff right here!  Dan (he’s my husband in case you didn’t know) has been working on some new marketing techniques.  He’s got the assembly of the media locked down pretty tight, and the message is good.  He wanted to “man up” and challenge my yellow letters to a response rate contest!  (ROFL)  Listen to the podcast to find out what we did! Once you’ve listened to the podcast – leave a comment and let us know who WHO think will win!  This will be interesting.
