About Don Smith

Meet Don Smith

Don Smith began his career in sales — starting out in medical devices, then moving to Silicon Valley startups — before diving into real estate wholesaling. Armed with a strong background in closing deals, Don wanted to transition from the corporate grind to a more flexible, self-driven model. Initially, he operated with a small cold-calling team targeting Florida counties, but eventually sought better, faster ways to find genuinely motivated sellers. That’s when he discovered iSpeedToLead.



 

 

Leveraging his sales expertise, Don quickly adapted from local deals in Central Florida to wholesaling in multiple states — focusing on Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Ohio.

The Challenges Before iSpeedToLead

Before integrating iSpeedToLead into his business model, Dallas faced several challenges:

High Marketing Costs, Low Returns:

Don spent around $33,000 on Facebook ads for a minimal return — a frustrating mismatch in advertising expenses versus actual deals.

Time-Consuming Cold Calling:

Generating leads through lists and cold callers took months to land just one deal, making it difficult to scale.

Unpredictable Lead Quality:

Cold-call leads were often unmotivated, and Facebook campaigns produced spam or irrelevant inquiries.

Scaling Nationwide:

Don wanted to expand beyond Florida to multiple southern states but lacked an efficient system for finding quality leads in unfamiliar markets.

How iSpeedToLead 
Transformed Don’s Business

Immediate Access to Motivated Sellers

Instead of wading through unqualified, “maybe-someday” sellers, iSpeedToLead provides leads already indicating genuine interest in selling. This drastically cut Don’s time from initial contact to signed contract.

Flexible, Customizable Lead Filters

Don swiftly identified his favorite markets — Florida, Texas, and Georgia — and set specific filters to acquire precisely the types of deals he wanted. This laser focus let him diversify into states like Ohio and Tennessee without wasting resources on poor-fit properties.

Cost-Effective Approach

By reassigning cold-callers into lead manager roles and investing in quality leads, Don reduced overhead for skip-tracing and dialers. He reinvested that budget into iSpeedToLead and saw a massive ROI on each purchased lead.

Seamless Scalability

Transitioning to iSpeedToLead allowed Don to go from closing 1–3 deals a month to regularly hitting 5–8 deals monthly. His ability to venture into new markets — where he built fresh buyer relationships and used Novations for bigger spreads — showcases how a reliable lead source can power nationwide expansion.

Responsive Customer Support & Refund Policy

Don highlights iSpeedToLead’s efficient refund process for any lead that doesn’t match expectations, making the platform even more cost-effective and low-risk.
