Tucker,
Great podcast….awesome content week after week!
How important do you think being a good copywriter or having good copy on a mail piece is compared to mailing the same list consistently with a “standard” we buy houses letter/postcard??
I’ve recently been looking into hiring a copywriter to rewrite some of my marketing pieces.

Peter-
Great question! I’m interested in the response from Tucker.

Its important but not as important as massive and consistent action……someone who mails a ton of crappy marketing pieces will still get more deals than someone else who mails a much smaller amount of great marketing pieces. The key is to mail a ton of great marketing pieces however….
So bottom line is that copy is not as important as presentation or consistency, but its probably the 3rd most important thing. As long as you keep the copy all about them, whatever you send should do fine as long as you mail consistently. We write all of our own copy, but I have also studied copy writing quite a bit as well as direct response marketing, so do the same and you should be able to write your own copy just fine.

Tucker-
What does your message for sellers that call off your direct mail say? You said that some are answered live and some go to voicemail.

Travis,
Our voicemail message is very simple. It thanks them for calling TTM Development and “If you’re calling about a house you want to sell, please leave the address, your name and number and we will get back to you asap” etc. Just keep it simple and you will be good to go.
