    How to Market for Private Money and Distressed Deals in Austin with Chris Foster
    Apr 30 2026
    Stop Screaming Into the Void: Why Direct Mail is Your Secret Weapon in 2026Are you tired of flushing your marketing budget down the digital drain? In an age where we are bombarded by over 10,000 digital ads every single day, your message is likely getting lost in the noise. Whether you are a real estate investor hunting for distressed notes or a small business owner trying to scale, the "spray and pray" method of broadcast marketing is a recipe for burnout. In this powerhouse episode, we sit down with Chris Foster, Chief Passion Evangelist at PostcardMania, to discuss why the most "old school" marketing tactic is actually the most high-tech and effective way to grow your business today. We dive deep into the psychology of why physical mail triggers a stronger brain response than email, how to turn $1 of marketing into $10 of revenue, and the "Website to Mailbox" technology that tracks your anonymous site visitors and sends them a postcard automatically. Stop waiting for "proof of concept"—the path is already paved. It’s time to fuel your business with consistent, targeted, and credible marketing. Key Takeaways & Strategy NotesThe Psychology of the Physical: Direct mail touches the limbic system (the brain's emotional center), creating a sensory experience that digital ads cannot match. While emails are forgotten instantly, physical mail stays in a home for an average of 17 days. Direct vs. Broadcast Marketing: Stop paying for billboards (broadcast) and hoping the right person sees them. Use targeted lists to reach specific individuals—like self-directed IRA investors or distressed property owners—directly in their mailboxes. The 80/20 Rule of Follow-Up: 80% of sales happen after the fifth contact. Successful marketing requires a "balanced meal" of touches: postcards, social media ads, and Google retargeting all working in unison to keep you top-of-mind. Website to Mailbox Technology: Did you know only 2% of website visitors convert? PostcardMania’s tech identifies the other 98% of anonymous visitors and sends them a physical postcard a few days later, capturing leads you didn't even know you had. Focus on ROI, Not Response Rates: A 1% response rate might seem low, but if you close 10 deals worth $100k from a $3,500 mailing, your Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) is astronomical. In high-value industries like real estate, you only need one or two "wins" to pay for years of marketing. The "Fire Horse" Year: 2026 is a year of big transitions and movement. To scale from a side hustle to a seven-person team, you must overcome the fear of spending money and embrace marketing as the essential fuel for your "business engine".Marketing isn't an expense; it’s an investment in your future freedom. As Chris Foster says, "Half of life is showing up, and the other half is following up". If you aren't consistent, you're invisible. Ready to stop being a "tire kicker" and start being a closer? Follow the proven path, leverage the expertise of a team that has helped 130,000+ businesses, and watch your revenue compound.

  • How To Close More Deals in Austin With Easy Marketing Tools

    How To Close More Deals in Austin With Easy Marketing Tools
    Apr 29 2026

    Stop Wishing for Deals and Start Winning Them.


    In today's episode, Scott Carson gets raw and real about the massive marketing failures he’s seeing in the real estate industry. We are living in 2026, yet too many realtors and investors are still relying on "Pony Express" tactics in a high-speed digital world. If you are still trying to run a national business out of a personal Gmail account or avoiding email marketing because you "got burned" five years ago, this episode is a wake-up call you cannot afford to miss.


    Scott breaks down a recent experience where he handed over a thousand high-quality, skip-traced distressed leads, only to watch professional partners fail at the basic "full court press" required to close deals. Whether you’re a note investor, a sub-two expert, or a realtor, your success is tied directly to your ability to communicate consistently with your tribe.

    What we cover in this episode:

    • The 2026 Reality Check: Why "praying for a deal" and posting in Facebook groups isn't a marketing strategy.
    • The Only Two Things You Own: Why your email list and your RSS feed are the only assets that protect you from being "shut down" by social media algorithms.
    • Speed to Lead: Why the "full court press" approach—using email, text, and voice drops—is the only way to get ahead of the upcoming foreclosure wave.
    • Smart Tool Selection: Moving beyond Gmail and the Pony Express to use CRMs that actually track open rates and delivery.
    • The Math of Marketing: Why a $50 investment in text credits or a $100 CRM is infinitely more effective than driving across town to knock on one door.
    • Overcoming the "No": Understanding that "no" often just means "not now," and why 48% of your competition is failing because they never follow up more than once.
    • The Power of Educational Content: How Scott turned a 30-slide presentation into a multi-platform marketing machine that hits distressed sellers where they live .
    • Skip Tracing Secrets: How to find 3 emails and 3 phone numbers for every lead for less than the cost of a cup of coffee.


    Don't let your business go the way of the smoke signal. The market is shifting, and while others are pulling back, the proactive investors are twisting their marketing to take advantage of the opportunities. It's time to stop being "Betty Blue-Hairs" and start being the expert your network needs.

    Conclusion: Marketing isn't about one-and-done; it's about the follow-up, the frequency, and the tools you use to scale your voice. Go out, take action, and remember: the more "no's" you get, the closer you are to that "yes." See you at the top!
