Getting Over Your 1st Deal Jitters (CFFL 0038)
Jack Butala: Hey there. This is Jack Butala for Land Academy. Welcome to our cash flow for land show. In this episode, Jill and I discuss how to get over your first deal jitters. We've all been there, and our job at Land Academy is to help our members get past the little road blocks that could potentially delay financial success. Hi Jill.
Jill DeWit: Hi, how are you?
Jack Butala: Good, good. It's early in the morning, how are really?
Jill DeWit: Oh, really? No, just kidding. No, I'm great. I had my couple cups of coffee. I'm officially, I can honestly say I am a caffeine addict. Seriously. You know when you're at that point where if I stop having coffee, it's going to be not a good morning. I already know it. I have to have a couple cups of coffee.
Jack Butala: I just wrote that down as a title for a new show. Caffeine addict.
Jill DeWit: Jill's a caffeine addict.
Jack Butala: I know what my first Jill jitters were way back when. What were yours? I'd love to hear what yours are, and in the name of [inaudible 00:01:01]. Hit the ground running, before you start so to speak.
Jill DeWit: I think it's different for people. It might be the first transaction. It might be buying it. It might even be answering the telephone. Because I've even heard that from some of our members. Remember when we were first getting rolling, and we put the eBook out before we had the program. People were testing the eBook theory. They were commenting with us, oh my gosh this works. I'm like I don't know what to tell these people.
Jack Butala: I'm going to interrupt you just a second, and explain to everybody what's in our eBook. Right in the beginning of the book, I asked everyone to go through a free and simple, quick exercise where you post a want ad on the local area Craig's List. That says, hey, we have cash for unwanted vacant rural property. We're not willing to pay a ton of money. We're willing to pay a very small amount of money. If you just want to get rid of it, contact us here. It's a little exercise that's free and quick, with a tremendous about of success by the way.
Jill DeWit: Yes.
Jack Butala: Go ahead.
Jill DeWit: That's what was so great. It was funny. I still get those now and then. People that are new and have just found, it works. Now what do I do kind of thing. Which those emails crack me up. I'm like, yeah. It does work. You'd be surprised how many people wanting to unload land.
Some of the jitters people were having was, I don't know what to say to these people. How do I handle this transaction. What do I do when they call back? What do I ask them? What do I want to know about the property. That's stuff we all teach now in the big, formal way. Our whole Land Academy Cash Flow from Land Program.
You can have jitters just answering the phone. I know our show today is how to get past those jitters. My best advice is, well, a if you can listen to somebody that gives you a little bit of an insight. Have a little bit of an edge.
Jack Butala: Yeah. Kind of mentor.
Jill DeWit: Right. Which we also do.
Jack Butala: Which is us. Which is this podcast.
Jill DeWit: Part of the podcast, this is true.
Jack Butala: Success plan.
Jill DeWit: All we're doing on this podcast is thinking of 8 more podcasts, because one of the things I think would be really beneficial which down the road maybe I should do. In our program, we have some phone calls from me, talking to these people so you really can hear that.
