Whew just keeping up with trying to contact 100 people is another job!  But good luck with that! 

I will start off slow with at least 30 contacts daily and move up to the 100. 

This is definitely the time to grow/build your business.  This market should separate the "men from the boys" (so to speak).

Happy Prospecting!

100 is a lot, you should start with baby steps 25 a day for the first week 35 a day for the second week and so on.  You will burn yourself out fast.

WOW that is quite a challenge!  100, that's a lot of emails, letters and phone calls.  So tell me, what counts and what method/s are you yourself using to do this task?  Good luck with it.

Cynthia- Also to everyone else who has commented, there is no doubt that 100 is quite a challenge and, realistically, is very difficult to acheive. I think the effort involved in trying to contact that many people is the true goal here. As for what counts, it has to be a back and forth dialogue that involves asking for business. Letters and unanswered e-mails don't count! I have sought to contact a mix of my professional associates such as realtors, attorneys, bankers-just to keep myself in front of them. There have been a few good conversations involved in this. I've called a lot of my former clients. I've always used my good relationship with my former clients to garner new business (I send out a newsletter every six weeks which always gets a positive response) and I've thrown in a mix of calls to pre-qualified clients, former turndowns who I like to check in with, a family member or friend to remind them what I do and even some cold calling, although it's a little early in the day for that to be very effective. I'm also closing a loan today and just received docs and RESPA on a new deal. With all this, I expect to hit about 50 today. Even though that is only half way to the stated goal, I feel that the constant push today made me work a little harder and, perhaps, think of a source or two that I hadn't thought about in too long. The proof is in the pudding, so to speak, and if the extra effort today and through the rest of the week translates into another loan or two for May, then I've learned or re-learned that I have to incorporate that mindset into my work every day

What we do for a living is a simple three word answer..."We Close Loans."  If we don't, we aren't making much of a living.  I think you hit the concept on the head Bill, 100 contacts is nothing more than a perhaps unrealistic daily barometer of trying to get guys and gals to close freaking loans.  Sometimes when you concentrate on the finger you miss the heavens that it is pointing too.
