Description
Scott Todd exposes the #1 marketing mistake real estate investors make: using generic, invisible copy that speaks to everyone and connects with no one. Drawing from his own transformation—when he shifted from broad messaging to targeting specific sellers (60-80 year olds doing end-of-life planning)—Scott reveals how getting hyper-specific actually increased his response rates across all demographics. The counterintuitive truth: the more specific you get, the more people respond.
