Why Most Investors Lose Deals in Follow-Up | Paul do Campo

Paul do Campo explains why real estate investors lose deals in follow-up, how value-based messaging works, and why human connection beats automation alone.

In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Paul do Campo, founder of REI Omni Drip, to break down one of the most overlooked profit centers in real estate investing: follow-up.

Paul explains why most investors overspend on lead generation while leaving massive money trapped inside their CRM. He shares how value-based follow-up, storytelling, and multichannel communication (email, SMS, and direct mail) dramatically increase seller responses—without sounding salesy or spammy.

The conversation dives deep into:

  • Why “Are you still interested in selling?” no longer works
  • How stories outperform sales scripts
  • Why email open rates are down—and what to do instead
  • How multichannel follow-up revives cold and unresponsive leads
  • Why AI tools are becoming commoditized—and how to stay human
  • The real reason investors stop following up (hint: emotions)

This episode is a masterclass in follow-up psychology, systems, and long-term deal conversion for wholesalers, flippers, and real estate investors.
