OfflineThis is my first post, so if this is in the wrong area or needs to be deleted or moved into the correct forum topic, I understand.
I am new to real estate entirely, but am digging in and excited to get my first deal done. I just set up my buyer website, and put my own personal email info in the field and filled out the info to see what type of auto-responder message I'd receive. Near the lower half of the email it has "Click here to download your free report" with a link on the word "here". I clicked it just to see what others would be getting, and see that it's blank. One thing I noticed in SFL is that every 3 days for 27 days the auto-responder sends an email, and shows an area where you can upload a document for each of the emails.
My question is, how or where can I find these documents to download that way I can upload them into my auto-responder, or does it work a different way?
P.S. I noticed one thing kind of interesting, perhaps a glitch. When I put my first email address in the auto-responder I receieved everything fine. I then put in a second email to test the address also, picking slightly different criteria when filling out the form. I noticed however, with the second email, it somehow carried my personal email address of the first email onto the body of the second email auto responder. Curious, I used a 3rd email address and checked to see if it would show the 1st, and 2nd email address in the body near the top, but it didn't, it worked fine.
P.S.S One other quick question: When someone fills out the info in the auto-responder, where does that info get sent for me to read? Is it stored somewhere in SFL? e.g. I want to find a 2 story home with a big back yard, vaulted ceilings, and lots of windows.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hey guys! I spoke to Nicole (a supervisor) today from SFL/The Success Academy and got a lot of my questions answered, and I want to take a moment to share them with you, as some of you may have had similar questions.
The first set has to do with the SFL's auto-responder that's available after you set up a squeeze page:
One of the first things I did was head to my squeeze page and put in an email address to see what kind of info my potential buyers would be receiving. After opting in with a personal email, I noticed a section that said "Click here to download your free report." When you click it a blank report comes up. To upload a report, you want to go to Marketing > Leadflow Websites > then on the far right of your website name, you'll see a button that says edit auto-responder. Click it, then if you click Next it takes you to a page showing you an automatic letter every 3 days from days 0 to 27. If you click on the first one(Mine says Your Report is Ready) there's an icon of an envelope with a paperclip, click that and you should get a report that you can download (mine says 3 ways to find your dream home.pdf - which may be because of the template I chose), then save it to your harddrive and upload it. Nicole said that they only provide the first document, so all the other days, if you wanted to attach something, you would have to create it yourself, or possibly someone from the DG Family may have something to provide us. I also asked if, when a potential buyer puts in all their criteria (such as what areas they buy in, what kind of houses they look for, 3/2 SFH, etc.) where can we see that information populate so we know what they're interested in, and she said currently SFL is equipped to take on that info so we'll still have to extract it from the buyer through direct response.
EDIT** ^^ I was adding some buyers to my SFL list and I ran across one of my own "mock" criteria in there, and I DID FIND THE INFO WHERE I PUT IN ALL THE DETAILS FROM THE SQUEEZE PAGE! It's in the "buyer script" tab under the general info! note: everything below this line remains unchanged in this post.
This next set relates to the cash buyers list:
I asked why I was getting duplicate information on some of my properties. For example, some of the cash buyers with the LLC name were showing between 8-50 of the same exact company name and property address. Most of the entries didn't even have the address of the buyer, only the address of the purchased property, why is that? I also asked if everyone in that list was already using SFL, and also how frequently the list gets updated. I also noticed an email function after you import the list into a specific catagory in the buyers section, and asked if we can email them even though we don't see what their email address is, or even if they have one on file?
She said that they very recently discontinued business with their old provider of these buyer lists, and they are looking to replace it ASAP, and hopefully that will be available to us in the next few weeks. But for now, the list we have does not update; we cannot email them because there is no email on file, we would have to retrieve that info from them by means of first contacting them with direct mail and getting a response from them; and as for the issues with me seeing duplicates and not enough comprehensive info to contact some of them, even by direct mail, I will have to wait it out, or can try using emailfinder.com (which I did, but I get 50+ results sometimes, so I don't know if I'd be contacting the right person, not to mention that you have to pay for that service).
So for now, I will continue to educate myself and step out and take action where I can, and build that buyers list as I press towards my first deal!
I hope this information has been helpful to someone, thanks.
