www.RealEstateInvestingMastery.com 1 Importance of Follow Up- Plus Some Role Plays Hosted by: Joe McCall Guest: Gavin Timms Joe: Welcome. This is The Real Estate Investing Mastery Podcast. Joe: Hey, Real Estate Investing Mastery nation. What's going on? How are you? I got an exciting episode for you today. I just completed a five leads in five days challenge and the results have been really amazing. It's just fun seeing people get excited about sending marketing and getting some leads and it's really cool. It's a lot of fun. We do this once in a while. We just ended it, it was five days and every morning we released a new video in the Facebook group and showed people some really cool marketing technique and a strategy. Joe: So what we did on the final day is we talked about follow up. We talked about following up with the leads that these folks had already received and following up with maybe even other wholesalers old leads. This is one of the most important topics that you could, we could talk about and you need to pay attention and listen to this because follow up is king. Joe: Most of your deals are going to come from the follow up. The deals that we're doing right now, probably 80% of them come from follow up. Not Probably, I can tell you for a fact, at least 80% of them come from follow up. They come after one or two, maybe three months of follow up. They come after five, six, seven touches. So follow up is important. And most wholesalers, nine out of 10, I'm just guessing on that one, do not do any follow up at all. Joe: So if you want to do more deals, I don't know, maybe follow up with your old leads and if you don't have any old leads, well then find somebody who does and follow up on their leads for them. Split the deals, right. So this was a really good video that I did. You know, you might be listening to the audio of this, but the audio is the most important thing. Joe: Pay attention to this okay. And there's a few role-plays a couple of role plays that Gavin and I did where I pretended to be the seller or the investor and he pretended to be the buyer or the seller, whatever. And I think there'll be really helpful for you in many ways having, in my courses and stuff I have some live seller calls, but in
