If you're building a land business, volume lives in mail drops and the profit lives in what happens to the responses. REI Boss tracks each campaign from mail date to response to closed parcel inside the Acquisitions pipeline, and shows cost per deal on the Scoreboard so the next mailing is a decision rather than a habit.
