Cold Calling Landowners? THIS Strategy Is Printing Deals
In this episode of the Real Estate Investing Podcast, Ron Apke sits down with cold calling expert Nicholas Nick, who shares his wild journey from working 70-hour weeks as a restaurant manager to building a thriving cold calling agency tailored for land investors.
Nick breaks down how he pivoted from expensive and often ineffective direct mail to cold calling as a zero-cost, high-impact lead generation method.
He tells the raw story of how he bootstrapped his business from live cold calling on Facebook, to generating over 20,000 dials per day with a team of seasoned, high-performing American callers—designed specifically to connect with rural landowners who value authenticity and grit.
Whether you're just starting your land flipping journey or looking to scale your operation, this episode is packed with practical gold.
Nick shares battle-tested cold calling strategies, real lead-to-deal expectations, the massive difference an American voice can make, and why persistence is the ultimate trait for success.
You’ll learn what a quality lead looks like, how to handle objections, and how his agency, Lead Mining Pros, is built like Uber to ensure performance and flexibility. If you're on the fence about cold calling or looking for a lead gen system that actually works, this is a must watch.
