How To Get Responses From Motivated Seller Leads 104% Faster
The complete 7 day email, text and phone sequence we give wholesalers and investors. Every message is written out below and you can copy any of them straight into your CRM.
Two rules before you build this. First, this sequence starts the second you get the lead, not the next morning. Second, stop every automated message the moment the seller responds. From that point either you are there to reply right away, or you have AI set up to reply for you. Nothing kills a hot lead faster than an automation that keeps talking after the human answered.

Why this works
A motivated seller who fills out a form is not waiting on you. They are usually talking to three or four buyers, and the one who answers first gets the conversation. That is the whole game. Most investors send one email, make one call, and quietly give up on day two.
This sequence wins on two things. It hits the lead within minutes while they are still sitting at the computer, and it keeps showing up for a week across three different channels, because people answer texts at times they would never answer a call.
If you want to see what this looks like in a real business, one of our investors cut response time from nine hours to 23 minutes and went from #10 to #3 in his market: read the case study. And when the seller finally picks up the phone, this is the script to use.
Want to be our next success story?
This sequence only pays when the seller on the other end actually asked for an offer and nobody else is calling them. That is exactly what we sell. One buyer per lead, delivered instantly.
