If your direct mail marketing isn't producing deals, the problem is probably volume. Joseph Austin of Next Step Real Estate is sending over 7,000 real estate direct mail postcards a month across the greater Philadelphia area and currently has 16 fix-and-flip projects in motion. In this episode, Joe breaks down his direct mail real estate marketing approach, why mailing 500 pieces a month isn't enough, and how to pair your direct mail campaign with a follow-up call system that actually gets sellers on the phone. He also covers how he decides whether to wholesale or flip each deal and shares the exact call cadence his team uses from the moment a lead comes in.
