Send a textIn this quick-tip episode of The Private Practice Survival Guide, Brandon Siegel breaks down three practical ways to improve your direct mail results by sharpening one thing most campaigns get wrong: the call to action (CTA). He explains what a CTA actually is, why clarity beats cleverness, and how to structure a single, bold next step your audience can understand in five seconds or less.You'll learn how to reduce friction (so people can act fast), how to use urgency without sounding gimmicky, and how to align your direct mail CTA with a mobile-optimized landing page experience that converts. Brandon also walks through a standout case study: a clinic that used a retention-based Hawaii vacation incentive to attract and hire five physical therapists in 180 days—showing how lifestyle-driven CTAs can outperform cash bonuses when they reflect culture, values, and long-term commitment.If you want higher ROI from direct mail—whether you're recruiting, generating leads, or filling schedules—this episode provides a simple CTA checklist you can apply immediately, plus a clear action step to audit your last campaign and upgrade what happens next.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

If you are tired of getting ignored, show up in the one place your prospects cannot ignore you: their mailbox.ㅤIf you have been building a B2B marketing program, direct mail has likely come up. Unfortunately, it is often thrown out immediately—just like the junk mail you get at home. This happens because most marketers treat it as a cold opener or a mass outreach tool. On this episode of Scrappy ABM, Mason Cosby explains why you should never use direct mail to start a conversation with someone who has never heard of you.ㅤInstead, Mason breaks down how to use physical mail to re-engage stalled deals or accelerate existing relationships. He shares why receiving a package is a "delightful interruption" compared to the crowded digital ad space, where you are constantly outbid. You will learn exactly where to insert direct mail into your pipeline, why you should start with a small pilot of 10 to 50 accounts, and why sending your own company swag is usually a mistake.ㅤWhat We CoverThe problem with cold direct mail: Why sending physical items to people who do not know you ends up in the trash.The "Delightful Interruption": How to provide context and excitement when a prospect opens a package.Avoiding the bidding war: Why the mailbox offers less competition than social media feeds.Three specific places to use direct mail: Stalled pipeline opportunities, historical funnel drop-off points (like free trials), and customer renewals.The Nike shoe example: How a personalized gift after a renewal created a lasting positive memory.Starting small: Why a 10-account pilot with a higher budget per gift often yields better ROI than mass sends.The swag rule: Why you should offer your branded gear as an option rather than the default gift.Internal alignment: The critical need for Sales and Customer Success to follow up immediately upon a package's arrival.ㅤResourcesScrappy ABM Newsletter: Get weekly B2B marketing answers and tips.

Andrew Becker is with wholesaling powerhouse Brent Daniels! Brent shares his journey from losing everything in the 2008 crash to building a massive empire using the "Four-Headed Monster" of Google marketing. He reveals why inbound leads from Google PPC and SEO are the highest converting leads in the industry and how to dominate the four critical spots on the first page of Google to capture motivated sellers who are ready to act now. In this deep dive, Brent breaks down his internal sales process, emphasizing the critical "speed to lead" rule—you have exactly 30 seconds to respond to an inbound lead before your chances of conversion drop. He explains the "keys" analogy for why sellers choose speed and convenience over price, how to track the right KPIs to ensure profitability, and why focusing on "ugly houses" rather than just any lead is the secret to high margins. More wholesaling lessons if you join the TTP Training Program today. ---------Show notes:(0:50) Beginning of today's episode(3:29) The "Rich Dad Poor Dad" moment that changed everything (5:25) Losing it all in 2008 and rebuilding through "Talking to People" (7:12) Wholesaling 101: The three main exit strategies (Flip, Hold, Assign) (9:54) The "Four-Headed Monster" of Google: PPC, GMB, SEO, and YouTube (12:09) Speed, Convenience, vs. Price: The "Keys" Analogy for motivated sellers (16:28) The 30-Second Rule: Why speed to lead is non-negotiable (19:56) Quality over Quantity: Why you shouldn't make an offer on every single lead (21:54) The vital KPIs: Live answer rates, leads per deal, and marketing ROI (24:33) Resources for finding off-market deals ----------Resources:TTP InsiderBrent Daniels YouTube Channel To speak with Brent or one of our other expert coaches call (281) 835-4201 or schedule your free discovery call here to learn about our mentorship programs and become part of the TribeGo to Wholesalingincgroup.com to become part of one of the fastest growing Facebook communities in the Wholesaling space.

What if you could turn every mailbox in your neighborhood into a $1,000 payday? That's exactly what Rachel and Dalton from Big Sky Automation have been doing with Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) postcards. Here's the idea: the Postal Service lets you deliver a postcard to every home on a mail route for about $0.25 apiece. You can use that to advertise your own business — or you can do what Rachel and Dalton do and sell that exposure to other local businesses. By stacking multiple advertisers onto a single oversized postcard, they spread out the cost, create an affordable local advertising product, and keep the difference as profit. They've mailed 20 postcards in about seven months, so this isn't a one-off experiment. In this episode, they break down exactly how the model works — and why it keeps businesses coming back.

They discuss why what ChatGPT says about your product may become a core marketing KPI, the resurgence of direct mail and physical touchpoints in an AI-saturated world, and why “almost as good as a human” is a dangerous positioning for AI-driven products. The conversation also explores AI monetization paths through advertising, the risk of an AI infrastructure timing mismatch leading to a broader financial pullback, and what historical parallels like railroads and the Sears catalog can teach us about today's buildout. The episode closes with real-world pricing lessons, from energy-as-a-service solar subscriptions to the surprisingly massive standalone economics of Apple's AirPods, tying together how distribution, perception, and monetization shape durable growth.—SPONSORS:Pulley is the cap table management platform built for CFOs and finance leaders who need reliable, audit-ready data and intuitive workflows, without the hidden fees or unreliable support.

Most investors say direct mail “doesn't work”—but top investors know that's not true. In this episode, we break down the five exact steps top investors use to win with direct mail, from building the right lists and sending mail that actually stands out, to answering calls live, staying consistent long enough to see results, and following up until deals close.

In this episode, Dr. Glenn Vo brings back a long-time friend of the community: Aaron Boone, former pro football player, CEO & founder of MVP Mailhouse. If you think direct mail is “old school,” you haven't seen what MVP is doing. Aaron and his team have mailed over 100 million postcards for dentists and track everything... from where your best patients live, to which offers they respond to, to how your front desk handles every call. This isn't “spray and pray” mailing. This is data-driven direct mail built to generate revenue, not just phone calls. You'll hear how MVP Mailhouse: ⦁ Maps where your BEST patients already come from (down to neighborhoods) ⦁ Targets their neighbors instead of wasting money mailing your existing patients ⦁ Tracks every call with unique numbers for each mailing and area ⦁ Scores front desk performance and helps you improve conversions ⦁ Matches each new patient and dollar back to the homes that got the mailers …so you finally know your true ROI from direct mail.

Curious how one direct mail lead turned into a $35K payday?

What would change if you stopped chasing one off flips and rebuilt a real business that runs without you? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with Tiffany High. Tiffany lays out how she left a demanding corporate path to be present for family, stumbled into flipping, then scaled from 40 flips in year one to a virtual operation closing 20 plus deals a month. The turning point was tearing everything down in 90 days and rebuilding with systems, training, and leadership so the company could run without constant firefighting. She explains why newbies should start with wholesaling, how to use licensed inspections plus a GC to scope work, and why leverage and team building beat solo grind. The theme is simple.

What would change in your business if you treated time as your most valuable commodity and priced every hour accordingly? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with luxury agent and team leader Gail DeMarco. Gail drops the polite filter and lays out how she built a near billion in lifetime sales by staying lean, obsessing over data, and designing a brand that shows up everywhere. From four open houses every weekend to hyper-focused farming and YouTube consistency, she explains exactly how she creates momentum in new markets and turns listings into market share. The conversation digs into hiring for coachability, running a tight listing operation, delegating fast, and engineering deals with assumable loans and lender-powered rate buydowns. It is an unvarnished masterclass on standards, time discipline, and creative structure in a tough market, capped with faith-driven leadership and straight talk on saying no to bad fits.

Every screen feels crowded these days—feeds stacked with ads, inboxes bursting with unread promotions, and attention spans stretched thin. In that kind of environment, even good marketing slips past unnoticed, lost in the constant scroll. Physical mail, on the other hand, shows up differently; it can't be swiped away in a second or buried under notifications. There's something about holding a piece of communication in your hands that makes it harder to ignore. In a digital-first world, that small bit of tangibility can feel surprisingly refreshing. https://youtu.be/JiN1BhP_trc Carlos Alonso deSantos, owner of Catdi Printing, has grown a family print shop into a national business across the U.S. and Canada. His start came from helping promote his parents' art gallery, which revealed a gap in affordable print services. Today, he talks about the evolution of direct mail and why design and targeting matter more than ever. He also highlights how AI is reshaping print marketing, blending traditional reach with modern precision. Stay tuned! Quotes: “People like to get tangible marketing materials—whether that be a flyer or a direct mail piece.” “AI is a definite game changer. Just in the past year or two, what it's been capable of doing is just amazing.” “It is a touches repetition game. It's definitely like—the more times people see your piece, even if the first time they may throw it away.” Resources: Boost your business with Catdi Printing's all-in-one printing and direct mail solutions.
