Discover the next evolution in your business with master of direct marketing, Ryan Skalla

Ryan Skalla is a direct marketing machine! In the last 10 years he went from leaving a job in software development and buying his first subject 2 property to creating a marketing funnel that has helped his house flipping business grow by 400% in the last 6 months. We cover so much in this interview that I had to break it in to two parts!

Today is part 2, so if you haven't listened to part 1, be sure to check that out first.  Click here to listen.

In this part of the interview Ryan shares more information about marketing and how we was able to increase his ad spend by 40% with complete confidence, his approach to lists and how he finds the best prospects, and what he spends 80% of his personal development time learning about (and it isn't real estate!).  Ryan really delivers and shares specific steps on how to discover the next evolution in your house flipping business.

Images and Photos

In today's episode I mention that, even though I spent a “day off” from House Flipping, I was still able to connect with some realtors, a private money lender, and got a lead on a house to purchase.  All this while the rest of my business was still operating. The reason I share this is to let you know that you never know where opportunities and relationships will come from so always be open to sharing who you are and what you're doing with those you meet.

Here are some pictures of my daughter and I when we went to purchase our truck.
