Getting the best results from your probate direct mail campaigns is important. I’m often asked if there is a way to maximize those marketing dollars spent each month, and the answer is yes there is. It all begins with creating a memorable experience at each and every interaction with these sellers.

You need to find genuine ways to make the sellers’ lives easier during this process. It also involves following a proven process for probate direct mail marketing, and that’s what we’ll be talking about today.

[00:05:46 - 00:10:02] - Turning "No" into "Yes" Through Follow Up

  • 80% of deals come from follow up after "no"
  • Ask to follow up in case Plan A falls through

[00:10:03 - 00:15:01] - Building Trust Through Thoughtful Conversations
