without cold calling... unless you just insist on doing it! If you’ve read

FSBOs to listings.

is another powerful real estate lead generation strategy. One way to use them
is every time you get a listing you should mail a flyer; get a list mail a
flyer. And you should mail to other real estate agents, as well as potential
buyers and sellers. Got it? Get a listing and mail a flyer!
