Call Re-cap:
00:00 Introductions
Tim and Jim introduce the call. Chuck gives an overview on how to turn probate into a successful pillar of your business, from marketing to mindset.
08:38 How to Work Around the Do Not Call Registry
Joe calls in to ask about how he should handle the “Do Not Call” numbers on his lead list. Tim explains that we run phone numbers through an extra step in order to flag the ones on the DNC list. We do this so that our subscribers know who they can call in accordance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Tim recommends everyone, who is making calls to leads, to familiarize themselves with the TCPA and state/local laws regarding the Do Not Call Registry. The team explains the value of calling attorneys and relatives further down the list for leads and how doing so can open up the door to call the Personal Representative.
14:55 Mail Marketing Branding and Follow-Up
Keith sent out his first letter and brochure this week and is wondering what he should send out for his first follow up. Chuck explains that a postcard is a great option for him because it will match the branding and message of his brochure. The matching branding on the brochure and followup postcard will strengthen Keith’s brand identity and recognition. Keith then explains that most of his leads are on the DNC list. Tim jumps in to better explain the reason behind the TCPA laws and how you can still make phone calls when prospecting your leads, those calls just might not always be to the personal representative.
