Summary of "Get 1 Wholesale Deal Per Month with SMS Text Blasting (No Cold Calling)"
High-level summary
Zack (influencer / CEO of XLeads) presents a tactical how-to for low-cost wholesaling using SMS text blasting inside XLeads. Core thesis (paraphrased):
Instead of mass blasting, use a “reverse funnel” — build highly targeted niche lists and run automated SMS drips — to get consistent deals with minimal spend and little to no cold calling.
Frameworks, playbooks and processes
Reverse funnel (targeted-niche-first)
- Build several narrow funnels (examples: government lists, AI sellability lists, SkyDrive image-scored lists) rather than blasting massive, untargeted lists.
Data → Score → Automate playbook
- Acquire targeted lists (government lists, AI lists, SkyDrive scans).
- Skip-trace / clean / export CSV.
- Import into XLeads Contacts, tag and add to an SMS workflow.
- Configure SMS Blaster Bulk Drip automations, test scripts, monitor metrics, iterate.
List filtering / qualification (list curation playbook)
- Property type: single-family.
- Ownership: individual or trust.
- Tenure: owned ≥ 5 years.
- Equity: ≥ 60%.
- Exclude: actively listed properties and investor-owned properties.
SkyDrive (satellite AI) scoring workflow
- Run SkyDrive scan on selected territory to produce a 0–100 score based on live satellite imagery; use this to prioritize properties by physical condition.
A2P registration (compliance/playbook)
- Do not self-register if inexperienced — use XLeads support to complete A2P registration (they offer to do it for free) to avoid denials and compliance issues.
Concrete, actionable step-by-step (operations & marketing)
- Pull government lists first: pre-foreclosure, tax delinquency, probate, code violations, fire damage, water shutoffs, evictions, arrest records.
- Prefer pulling directly from county sources for fresher data; organize the CSV (street address, city, state, zip).
- Upload CSV into XLeads → skip-trace to enrich with phone numbers.
- Use XLeads AI Sellability filter to add additional records (thresholds commonly used: 700+, tighter at 800–850).
- Run SkyDrive AI scan for visual/condition scoring and include properties with SkyDrive score ≥ 70.
- Export/import finished dataset into Contacts in XLeads; map fields to phone/email/property.
- Add imported contacts to an automation/workflow: tag them (e.g., “SMS blaster”) and add to SMS Blaster Bulk Drip.
- Purchase local phone numbers inside XLeads settings; request A2P registration through XLeads support chat.
- Customize SMS scripts, test with your phone, start the automated drip, and monitor SMS statistics (delivery, click, failed, opt-outs). Iterate on scripts and cadence.
Key thresholds, targets, sample scenarios and metrics
- SMS cost: approx. $0.01 per text.
- Example campaign costs:
- 1,600 texts ≈ $16 (recommended minimal targeted campaign to try for ~1 wholesale deal/month).
- 5,000 texts ≈ $50.
- 30,000 texts ≈ $300 (for high-volume operators).
- Example campaign costs:
- Typical recommended list composition to aim for ~1 monthly deal:
- ~1,000 government-list records
- ~500 AI-sellability records (score ≥ 700)
- ~100 SkyDrive records (score ≥ 70)
- Total ≈ 1,600 records → ~$16 in texts + phone numbers (example: 5 phone numbers ≈ $5) → ≈ $20 total monthly texting infrastructure.
- Phone number cost: varies (example shown ≈ $1.26 per number).
- SMS send rate / throughput: example of ~100 texts/hour across the automation; processing 1,600 contacts takes a day or two.
- Platform metrics to monitor in XLeads: delivery rate, click rate, failed rate, opt-outs.
- AI Sellability scoring:
- Range: 0–1,000 (higher = more motivated). Common thresholds shown: 700+, with 800–850 for tighter targeting.
- SkyDrive scoring:
- Range: 0–100 (visual/condition based); recommended picks: 70+.
Platform / product specifics and plan notes
XLeads features used in this process:
- CSV upload / import and skip-tracing.
- AI Sellability list (0–1,000 score).
- SkyDrive satellite image scoring (0–100).
- Automations: SMS Blaster Bulk Drip (configurable drips per hour/day and editable scripts).
- In-app phone number purchasing.
- Built-in A2P registration help via support chat.
- SMS statistics dashboard.
Plan / territory allowances (examples; confirm in your account as these may change):
- Basic plan: 1 AI zip code (monthly); Basic annual: 3 AI zip codes.
- Pro monthly: 3 AI zip codes; Pro annual: 5 AI zip codes.
- X monthly: 5 AI zip codes.
- X annual: entire AI county (full county access).
- Use live support to check exact allowances and request help.
Operational caveats and tips
- Don’t attempt A2P registration alone if inexperienced — using XLeads support reduces rejection risk.
- Government data is often harder to fetch programmatically; pulling directly from county sources (e.g., Odyssey portal or clerk requests) yields fresher data.
- Test and iterate on SMS copy frequently and monitor performance metrics.
- Tagging and organization matter — use tags like “SMS” or “SMS blaster” to manage workflows and automation.
- For high-volume operators who need multiple deals per month, mass blasting larger equity lists is an option; for most users, the targeted ~1,600-record approach is more cost-effective.
Examples / case data shown in demo
- County example: Muscogee County (Columbus, GA):
- 3,600 properties with AI score ≥ 700 in the county.
- Raising threshold to 800+ or 850+ reduces list size.
- Filtering by single-family, ownership, equity produced a sample set of ~6,700 properties before SkyDrive scan.
- SkyDrive scans on large batches can take hours; consider scanning zip codes or whole county if your plan allows.
Actionable recommendations (short checklist)
- Pull government lists and combine with AI-sellability and SkyDrive picks.
- Aim for ~1,600 targeted contacts to try to land ~1 wholesale deal/month.
- Upload → skip-trace → import → tag → add to SMS Blaster workflow.
- Buy local phone numbers inside the platform and get A2P registered via XLeads support.
- Customize scripts, test, monitor delivery/click/opt-out metrics, and iterate.
