I have been using Proquest for about 5 months. I haven't had the booming
results expected but I am getting results. It also takes time for me to
grasp a new concept so I am not able to utilize all of their concepts
overnight.

I tried there Expired plan. It expired. I don't feel that approach
appeals to people in this area.

I buy a page in the Homes magazine and have had some luck with that. It
only comes out once a month so it takes time to test what works best in
my area.

I have been working on setting up a system to approach FSBOs through a
mortgage broker but signs seem to be more expensive than he wants to pay.
My feeling is that if the market is booming, it would be an excellent
tool. In the slow market I am in, it is okay. I will have a better feel
for it come spring.

Brent, baby, we gotta talk. 
If it ain't working, you aren't using it right.

Imho, It works best in a slow market, not a good market.  When the market is
good, all you have to do is breathe ;-) 

You will get more listings, more sales, more investor leads, fsbo's...
hmmmm, maybe they should hire me to promote their product? (( grin )).

If your mtg person thinks signs are too much to pay to use this system, THEN
GET ANOTHER MORTGAGE PERSON! Unreal!  Where else can you get a lead for 25
cents?  Having said that,I don't do signs because in my area, mostly agents
call on them because they don't have mls access while on the road.

There are a myriad of reasons to use an IVR system, but if you aren't
getting results from it, you aren't using it right.  If you want to call me,
I'll be happy to chat for a bit about what I do that does work.
