I was passed a bunch (about 300) names, phones, some emails) of people who do not qualify to receive a loan modification. I am trying to figure out the best way of attacking this. How long would I keep them in my DB, what type of follow up, etc. Obviously, the newer names are a little more hot but I don't just want to toss the 200 or so names that inquired before July. Any ideas? This may be a question for Russell, but what do you do for seller lead follow up?

The shuffle between six closings one month and none three months later was directly related to our activity when we were busy. If I ignore contacts when I am busy, I'll suffer later. Great summary!!

Nice advice on if you aren't getting them in the car, change up what you are saying to convert. LOL at calling them leads...I'm sick of the debate too.

In all my years at this, I've only had a few transactions that occurred on a time frame much shorter than the one you described. If you are doing nothing today, you will probably be doing nothing in 3 months from now. But, it's never too late to change it! RM Erion,

When I joined my wife in the trade in September of 2003, it was not an easy transition. Twenty-one years in the Navy makes one focused on immediate and tangible results, be it - a) your enemy is dead, you're not, move on to next enemy - or b) the mountain of paperwork is done, move on to the next one. The apparent inefficiency and dog-eat-dog world of the traditional employee-broker model had me astounded at the lack of help agents gave one another (visions of convicts protecting their meal with one arm wrapped around their tray and the other shovelling food). When I realized "if it is to be, it's up to me," things got a lot better. "He who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts and multiply the grief which he purposes to remove" - Samuel Johnson Navy Chief, Navy Pride Erion,
