Beginning Investors Group Meets on January 15, 2018 with Amy Ransdell
Posted on January 2, 2018 bywith Amy Ransdell
Investors, are you finding enough deals for your pipeline? Wholesalers, if you had more deals would your buyers still need more? Real estate agents, do you have enough listings or would a few more make your year even better? If you poll investors, wholesalers, or agents, one of the most common challenges they face is lead generation for acquisition.
We hear so many people complaining about this being a low-inventory market while others are bringing in deal after deal. So, how do we know which lead generation techniques work best? How do we decide where to spend our marketing dollars? How do we build systems that bring in a consistent flow of opportunities?
If you are an investor who is always looking for new, cutting edge ways to find more deals and make more money, please be sure to join us at the Beginning Investors Group on Monday, January 15th at 6:30PM at the Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs with our special guest speaker, Amy Ransdell.
At the meeting, Amy will be teaching you some of her favorite “Highly Effective Strategies for Finding Deals in Today’s Competitive Market”. Join us to talk mastermind style about the most effective strategies some of your largest volume investors are implementing in their businesses right now!
At the meeting, Amy will discuss…
- What the biggest names in the industry are doing to generate leads and how you can have the same million dollar results they are
- Whether or not direct mail is out-dated or still the best lead generation method out there
- How to optimize old-school methods using technology
- Social media and pay-per-click demystified so they can make money for you and not waste your time
- The best ways to brand and convert your network into net-worth that we know but forget to implement
- How to work together to close even more deals
- Answers to your questions and much more!
