As you begin to establish a cashflow investing business you will want to have some basic materials to assist you. What materials you use will vary depending on the approach you prefer to marketing. One thing you should keep in mind with this business is that it is a people business. You will do better as an investor if you are willing to talk to people and develop a talent for talking to people. Once you are willing to accept that this is a people business you can then setup and organize your approach. You may need to start compiling a list of contacts or leads to work with.
Business cards are a vital part of any business and especially so with this one. You will want to have them on your person all the time so you can work your business wherever you find yourself. If you wish to grow as a business you need to let those you meet know what you do and how that may help them. Make sure you get some business cards as you start your business. Newsletters are also an important resource when working the cashflow business. You can use these newsletters for both professional referral sources and note holders. The importance of newsletters cannot be emphasized enough. This is what brings you your referral and residual business. This is the most exciting part of any business. Once you get the residual returns coming you can virtually sit back and watch it happen!
Flyers and brochures are also going to be an important part of your marketing toolkit. Simple flyers can be used to do co-op marketing with some businesses. They are also useful for local advertising on boards around the community. You can create many different flyers and brochures that are useful for many facets of your marketing with a simple word program on your computer. You do not need to create anything complicated. Simply specifying some details about what you offer will suffice.
Other options for marketing may include some of the following:
• Street signs/car magnet
• Radio and television (Works well but we hope you have lots of money)
• Co-op marketing (use our flyers)
• Seminars and expos (use our flyers, newsletters and brochures)
• Billboards (Works well but we hope you have lots of money)
What about lead lists you may wonder. In this business as with many a list of potential note holders is a good idea if you are going to work with direct marketing to note holders. There are some things to take into account when purchasing your leads. It is a cost that is well worth spending as long as you understand what the list is. A common misconception with these lead lists is that the list is “current” or “qualified”. I guess it is really your expectations that need to be corrected with this part of marketing.
