Transcript:

Jack Butala :                        Jack Butala with Jill Dewit.

Jill Dewit:                             Hi!

Jack Butala :                        Welcome to the show today. In this episode, Jill and I talk about three reasons why you really shouldn't complete a deal no matter how good it is. And with some stories, I hope, too, Jill.

Jill Dewit:                             Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Jack Butala :                        Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members. On the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.

Jill Dewit:                             Okay. Brandon asks, "I wanted to set up LetterStream, so that it sends out letters automatically through an API using Podio." "Has anyone done this?" "I know it can be done using Podio, and Click2Mail, or Lob," I don't know, Lob, "But, can it be done with LetterStream?"

Jack Butala :                        Thank you so much for asking this question, Brandon.

Jill Dewit:                             Super cool.

Jack Butala :                        The answer is, heck, yes.  We are about to launch offers2owners.com. It's offers, the number two, owners.com.  And, we ... It essentially puts a tremendous amount of old school service back into doing a/an offer campaign.

Jill Dewit:                             Mailer.

Jack Butala :                        Yeah.

Jill Dewit:                             Yeah.

Jack Butala :                        So, it turns out this is a bottleneck for a lot of people, and we want to solve it.

So, we have hired a full-time person to ... With an 800 number. You call him, and you ask questions, just like this, and then, we help you through it. Right on the phone, we help you with your [LetMail 00:01:14] merge.

(cough) Excuse me.

We help you with whatever it is that's stopping you from an IT, or text standpoint, or any reason, really, from sending out a mailer.

And, this is a ... LetterStream ... One of the reasons that we chose LetterStream is they are 21st century capable of doing exactly what you're trying to do.

And, we've been testing it, and it's working great. So, we can and will help you, Brandon. Thank you for asking.

Launch date? Soon.

Jill Dewit:                             Haha. Exactly.

Jack Butala :                        If you have a question, or you want to be on the show, reach out to either one of us on landinvestors.com.

Today's topic, three reasons why you wouldn't complete a deal, no matter how good it is. This is the meat of the show.

Jill Dewit:                             There's actually 30,-

Jack Butala :                        Haha

Jill Dewit:                             But we've ... Trying to narrow it down to three, today.

Jack Butala :                        I have to be honest-

Jill Dewit:                             There's a lot.

Jack Butala :                        Jill and I were having kind of a reminiscent, you know, walk down memory lane, laughing scenario, before the show 'cause we were talking about all the deals that we haven't completed.

Jill Dewit:                             Yeah.

Jack Butala :                        For reasons where something, you know, it set us off.

Jill Dewit:                             Right.

Jack Butala :                        Either one of us or both of us. Sometimes, the seller's attitude. Sometimes, it's the escrow officer's attitude.

Jill Dewit:                             Sometimes, it's Jack's attitude.

Jack Butala :                        Haha

Jill Dewit:                             Haha. Let's be honest. There's people that rub ... Well, you know, it just happens, probably, the wrong way. And, you know, no, I'm just, not just you, I mean, theoretical you. You know?

Jack Butala :                        I am extremely good at-
