Will you make these same mistakes the old pros made when they were young?
How many entrepreneurs before you spent a great deal of money on advertising before they learned that there has to be a better way? The answer is an endless number of fools came here before you. It is not possible to start out in the Real Estate business without making these mistakes. They are part of the initiation into any profession.
Does The Newspaper Need You More Than You Need Them?
If you believe that a newspaper ad is the best way to reach your audience, then you are naïve. Learn from the masters that have been there. Those ads cost far more than they return. You need a direct connection to your audience. You need to build a relationship with people you don't yet know. Don't believe this truth? Then ask yourself this question? Are you more attached to your pet or that guy with the Real Estate Ad in your local paper? As you can see, no one cares about the people advertising in newspapers. You have no emotional bond with them. So why should they call you?
