Stratton Brown is a real estate investor based in the Riverton, Utah area, but also invests in Fresno, California. Before becoming a full-time investor, he initially pursued his dreams of becoming a football star. However, he faced challenges that inevitably led him to go for a more practical approach to life. That’s when Stratton found his way into real estate. His go-to marketing strategy is cold-calling and he has learned the right strategies when it comes to hiring and training cold-callers from abroad.
Stratton joins me to share his cold-calling strategy and how he makes sure he only hires the right cold-callers. He describes what his life was like before real estate and what made him want to become a full-time investor. He discusses the markets he wants to invest in and his criteria in selecting buyers and sellers. He explains how he outsources his cold-calling to VAs in the Philippines as well as how he trains them. Stratton also shares some of the tools they use for not only lead generation but also for hiring new team members.
