Luke Harris of The Farm Finders began collecting buyer email leads since the launch of his business – even though he wasn’t sure what to do with it just yet. Only after a couple years, he has transformed that list and is now reaping the benefits of it, riding out the uncontrollable algorithms of Facebook or Craigslist affecting the sales of property.
Luke now sells 30%-50% of his properties to his email list, sometimes within minutes or hours of blasting his emails.
We’re going to be diving into exactly what he’s doing with his email marketing from the importance of having a land selling website that collects emails to build his buyers’ list all the way to the kinds of emails he’s writing and even when is the best time he’s found to send out his emails to be able to offload his properties just through his blast.
Make sure you listen right to the end to hear about his email template takeaway download so you can start applying the same strategies.
