Phone and Answering Services
As a Quick Turn Real Estate business owner you are always going to have calls coming in from sellers or buyers. It's a fact that if no one answers the phone or delivers the information they need when they call in, they will probably never call you back. Since most deals you are trained to buy will provide you with at least $20,000 of profit, you could be losing $20,000 every few phone calls you miss. Its also important to note that many of your calls will come in on evenings and weekends when people have more time to deal with buying or selling a house. This means you have 3 options available in your business:
- You can personally answer calls day and night until you go crazy from talking to every Tom, Dick and Harry that call in while you're trying to eat dinner or spend time with your family.
- You can hire an employee or independent contractor to answer the calls. This can get expensive if you're paying by the hour, not to mention, it will be very hard to find a normal employee who can and will make themselves available to answer their work phone 24 hours a day.
- You can hire an answering service to professionally answer your calls 24 hours a day. All these guys get paid to do is answer calls for you and follow the script you give them. They take down all the needed information and the immediately email you the lead! For a very low monthly fee you can have your life back and you don't even have to manage an employee.
I think you can guess which option we and all the other successful investors we work with use.
