*Question of the Month:

 

Q - Hey Jeff....  

        "It's been a while since I took your class. I am stumped. Should I start making up marketing material first? I work full time 7:00- 5:00, then have three daughters at home waiting for me (ages 8, 9,10). When I start sending out marketing information, how should I handle calling prospects back. Do most seem to call at night anyways?  I'm really frustrated I don't seem to be able to find the time to get this business rolling along. Is it enough to start just on the weekends? Any suggestions? I don't think I should quit my day time job till this replaces my current income?"

A - Hello JK!

        Well you've got a lot going on with three daughters (I know I have two) AND a fulltime job. Is it possible to do this on the weekends? Well, yes. But not probable if you are trying to get steady deals coming in monthly. To be completely honest, the note business is a tough business and you have got to be able to dedicate more than just weekends to it. Note holders expect to be able to get a hold of you during normal business hours and that you are responsive.  In my experience no, calls do not come in at night or on the evenings. MAYBE you can get a cheap website up and do some internet marketing and follow up with people on the weekends but don't count on much from that. In my opinion, doing the note business only on the weekends and evenings would make it very hard to replace your income and get you where you want to be.  Don't worry, when you get caught up and start to have more time the business will still be here. Again, take care of your girls and this business will be here when you are ready.
