Complimenting Data Results with Offers to Owners (1027)

Transcript:

Steven Butala:                   Steve and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:                            Hi.

Steven Butala:                   Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.

Jill DeWit:                            And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California.

Steven Butala:                   Today, Jill and I talk about complementing the data that we've been talking about and the data results with sending offers to owners. All of this data discussion this week and all this data analysis, which everybody in this group loves so much, me included, is for nothing if you don't actually get an offer campaign into the mail.

Jill DeWit:                            If you don't use it, basically. That's [crosstalk 00:00:42]-

Steven Butala:                   If you don't use it.

Jill DeWit:                            That's right everyone. You have all this data. What are you going to do with it now?

Steven Butala:                   It's like getting a PhD in whatever and then just going to work at McDonald's.

Jill DeWit:                            Right? We know people that have done that, right?

Steven Butala:                   Yeah.

Jill DeWit:                            Oh, gosh.

Steven Butala:                   For whatever reason, that's just their own-

Jill DeWit:                            It's true.

Steven Butala:                   I don't know.

Jill DeWit:                            That happens.

Steven Butala:                   Hey, 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:                            John asks, "I just tried to get the new RealQuest to get data and it tops out at 1,000 units. I reviewed and re-watched Steve's video, but I can't find an option to request more. Has anyone else had this problem?" This is good. There's a little buoy. This comes up before. I'm going to answer some of the responses here and then I'll save a little bit more too on [inaudible 00:01:31].

Steven Butala:                   This is an extremely popular question.

Jill DeWit:                            Yeah. Kevin, one of our moderators responds. He says, "Hello John, this is a common question. Log on to RealQuest Pro and click on the upper right hand corner. Click on preferences. In the box about halfway down you'll see a maximum number of records to retrieve per search. Type in the number that you want up to 25,000. I have mine at 25,000 all the time." Here's the reason why. When you're going and downloading the data, that's when the clock starts ticking if you will. The records that you pull, what you're charged for per line. We cap it at 1,000 so you don't accidentally as you're playing around and you're learning, and you're new, and you're just in RealQuest Pro for the first time, we don't want you to accidentally download way too much data and then be stuck paying for it. So that's why we cap it as 1,000.

Jill DeWit:                            Then we know too, when we know you're in there, you can get in the back end of that and alter it. You're learning it and you know what you're doing and you can change it to the level that you want. Some people put it at 5,000, some people put it at 10,000. And like Kevin, just leaves it at 25,000 because he just wants to be able to pull whatever he wants. He knows how to do the math when he's doing it and what he's going to get charged. What I was going to say too is, if you go to your new member guide, it's explained there, and then also on landacademy.com, on the little buoy in the, I think it's the bottom right, but there's a little help buoy you can put in there.

Steven Butala:                   There's a buoy everywhere.

Jill DeWit:                            RealQuest records and the information will pop right up for you.
