June 06, 2016EP002: Marketing That Cuts Through the Clutter – Thursday's Q&A Session
For Thursday's Q&A session, Alex discusses various ways you can get your marketing to stand out. He talks about some of the strategies he personally uses to get leads and also talks on why the follow up process is responsible for almost 70-80% of his deals. Listen in for more!

Key Takeaways:

On Monday's show, Alex mentioned that 70% of his deals come from the followup.

On this week's Q&A show, Alex will be doing a deep dive on the followup process.

Alex recommends that you read all of Dan Kennedy's books.

Most people are walking around in a trance and your marketing needs to snap them out of it.

You don't ask to marry someone on the first date.

Letters don't have the same novelty these days and homeowners are bored of them too.

Alex used Cris Chico's approach and he got close to a 25% response rate.

What does Alex's marketing system look like?

70-80% of Cris's deals come from direct-mail marketing.

There's a fine balance between how you space out your marketing resources.

You want 20% of your efforts to generate 80% of your results.

How does Alex set up his direct-mail system?

Alex takes 20% of every deal and puts it back in his marketing budget.

One of the things that separates Alex from his competitors is that he is always marketing.

Be consistent with your marketing and your campaigns.

Today's expert interview on The Flip Empire Show features Cris Chico. Cris was the first person to develop and perfect the concept of virtual real estate investing – the ability to do deals from anywhere in the world with just your laptop. Cris offers some advice on how you can stand out from the crowd and tells it like it is. Many new real estate investors are often looking for that one 'secret tip' to succeed, but Cris mentions that it is often a combination of things that takes your career to the next level.

About Storage Wins

From the publisher's feed

What if you could finally escape the grind, quit your job, and build real wealth?

Not by flipping more houses or managing tenants, but by owning a self-storage business that creates real freedom. Imagine waking up knowing you're in control: your business is running, your income is steady, and your time is finally yours. That's what Storage Wins is all about.

If you're tired of trading dollars for hours, being burnt out from chasing deals that create more work, and are ready for a step-by-step system to buy your first self-storage facility, even if you don't have tons of time, money, or years of experience...this podcast is for you.

Most real estate investors and employees feel stuck. Maybe you're grinding away at a nine-to-five that drains you or hustling in a single-family real estate business that leaves you stressed and overwhelmed. You dream of passive income and cash flow, but every solution you try just adds more chaos to your life. The truth is, you don't need to manage dozens of properties, fix broken toilets, or put up with nightmare tenants. There is a smarter, more scalable way.

The problem isn't that self-storage is out of reach. Most people are overwhelmed by conflicting advice, all the moving pieces, and the myth that you need a ton of money or years of experience to get started. You end up overthinking, burning out, or worst of all, doing nothing and watching your dreams slip away. Other people are making it work and you wonder, why not me? What am I missing?

The answer is clarity, a proven plan, and a supportive community.

Imagine this: You have a clear roadmap to buy your first self-storage facility in the next six to twelve months, even if you've never done a real estate deal before. You know what to look for, how to find off-market deals, raise capital, and structure acquisitions that build wealth. You're part of a group that values simplicity, automation, and systems that make business more profitable. You are making progress, building cash flow, and finally owning your time.

Hosted by Alex Pardo, real estate investor, coach, and former host of The Flip Empire Show, Storage Wins is your weekly guide to building a self-storage business that serves your life. Each episode brings you practical insights from Alex and top experts, as well as real stories from students and everyday investors. We go deep on what works: choosing the right market, negotiating deals, automating operations, avoiding rookie mistakes, and scaling up for real financial freedom.

This show is about reclaiming your time and building a business that works for you. If you're sick of the rat race, exhausted by the endless hustle, and are ready to create freedom, wealth, and legacy, this is your show. You don't have to sacrifice your family, faith, or sanity to succeed. You just need a plan, one good deal, and the belief that freedom is closer than you think.

If you love shows like AJ Osbourne's Self Storage Income, Self Storage Investing with Scott Meyers, The Storage Investor Show, or the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast, Storage Wins is for you.

The Storage Wins community is for people who are done settling for less.

Whether you're a burned-out entrepreneur, a frustrated employee, or a real estate investor tired of spinning your wheels, you belong here. Subscribe and start your journey to cash flow, financial freedom, and a business that gives you your life back.
