Enjoy the Journey and never give up!
This post is going to be a part of a series of posts as I get into the world of Podio. Sometimes the first impression says a lot about an application. Quite often the initial look at an application causes us to get that overwhelmed feeling in our guts and we turn around and never come back. I have found this to be even more true if the application is FREE like Podio is. Mostly because you have nothing invested …
There are quite a few options when you are looking for wholesaling lead management software. Probably one of the most popular lead tracking tools out there is simply Microsoft Excel. I have seen countless forum posts on Bigger Pockets asking what CRMs other wholesalers use. The one consistent answer that I see is to use Excel as a CRM. It’s not necessarily the best, only that there is always a couple of people who swear buy it. In my efforts …
THIS TEMPLATE HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AS CURRENT VERSION OF EXCEL HAVE CAUSED TO MANY ISSUES Thank you all for your interest! ————————————————————————————————————- Two weeks ago I wrote a blog post about What Lead Information you should keep track of. In that post I broke down the minimum data points that you would benefit from keeping track of over the course of a leads life. What I didn’t go over is how to keep track of your mailing campaigns. When I …
There are a few HAVE TO HAVES when it comes to being a real estate wholesaler as far as I’m concerned. Relationships, Systems and Leads. Everything else comes a distant second. They all work together as well to create a successful business. Having leads is must, but what is also very important is your ability to keep those leads organized. What leads do you need to mail to this month? Looking up a lead when they call Making sure you …
New Monthly Rant Series: I figured it would be insightful to share some of what bothers me about trying to run a side business. It’s not all successes and happy faces. It truly is a roller coaster ride and I think sharing that with my readers is going to cathartic. It seems every month I hit a point where I say “Do i want to do this anymore?” Thankfully I am pretty good at over coming those feelings. Lucky or unlucky …
I am happy to announce that the latest version of SI Lead Manager has been released…v7! This latest update to SI Lead Manager is the biggest update yet. The entire software has been recreated from the ground up in order to take it to the next level. I’ve listened to the suggestions and have put all my efforts into making this one of the most user friendly lead management applications out there. There are 3 main areas that I wanted to …
Over the past 6 months or so I’ve been getting some great questions from people who read my blog. I love answering questions about real estate investing and lead generating websites. If you have any questions feel free to post a comment below or send me an email. Recently I got an email from Brian. He had downloaded my Lead Manager software a couple years ago and most recently heard my appearance on the BiggerPockets Podcast. Brian had some questions …
I’m very excited about 2015 and all the potential that it holds. While 2014 saw my wholesaling business change dramatically I was able to pivot and keep it going. I did not achieve all my 2014 goals (like releasing SILMv7) but I was very close! The relationship I’ve built with Brandon Turnor (of biggerPockets loar) has lead me to a couple opportunities that should really put me out there. I’m a in introvert by nature so I don’t like directing …
Today’s post is going to be a little different. I was lucky enough to have Brandon Turner, from BiggerPockets.com, write a guest post. Not only does he regularly write incredible content over on the BP Blog, but he hosts the BiggerPockets Podcast along with Founder Joshua Dorkin. Needless to say it’s an honor to have him author a blog post for Struggling Investor. He chose to write about a topic that I get asked about all the time…What are some …
