Starting a new journey usng 7878's method

Update : Letters sent this morning.
Update :
On more specific niches, I've decided to create some review websites. In fact, these niches are not on Yelp, Google + or Tripadvisor or nearly unknown. I know it's not the solution for restaurants (and that's why I began by restaurants because the review sites existe) but I think that owning the major review site on which the client will be is a major argument in order to have sells.
My goal is to have first 10 clients for restaurants, 10 clients for hotels and 10 clients for other niches.
I changed my prices which now are :
1) 350€/month
2) 500€/month
3) 800€/month

Yes I'm selling them ORM.
3 prices allow people to either pay few or pay much. And if you tighten the price between 1 and 2 and increase the price between 2 and 3, people will certainly take the 2nd one.
Got 2 calls from the 8 letters I sent yesterday. I didn't pick up the phone but there is a problem :
1) 1st call let me a message but didn't give me the name of his company or his name. And he called me from his cellphone so I can't know which restaurant is it...
2) The 2nd didn't let any message. So I just have his phone number but no information.
That was something I didn't expect. How can I do to call them back if I don't even know which restaurant it was ... ?

Yes that's what I did but their number is hidden.
Yes my goal is to set up a contract for monthly payment. I think of a contract of 1 year but if everything is godd, I hope they will continue with me after that year.
In fact, I'm selling the exact service of 7878 (you can read his thread for more informations) but I will propose some upsells such as Social Promotion and SEO and maybe Webdesign. But it will only be upsells.
UPDATE :
The 2nd person that has called me today (without leaving a message) called me 2 other times so I picked up the phone. I began by beeing bawled out : " I just wanted to tell you things about my restaurants. It's a 30-year institution with more than 1,6 million customers and I don't care about these 17 bad reviews. I don't know what is your site (she actually thought that Tripadvisor was my site
) but I just wanted to clear about my restaurant... Blabla... " I explained her quickly (a 20-minute call though :/ ) the importance of reviews and used the fact that these reviews didn't reflect the main opinion of her clients. I think she got that but she told me she would talk to the direction (I think it's her parents in fact
) and may call me back.That was fun
UPDATE :
I've just called back the 1st call and hopefully, I just asked me for a meeting immediately without asking me any questions. So meeting scheduled on next Wenesday. He has no email address :/ so I will have to sum up the big file very quickly I guess.

Looks like you are making some great progress here. Congratz! Good luck with your meeting next Wed!
Thanks.
But I have a meeting tomorrow also so I'll focus on it first
I'm making a list of +50 restaurants with +10 reviews with their address and the name of the owner. Considering the conversion rate I had (2 calls just the day after I sent 8 letters), I definitely think letters are better than emails

I have a question concerning the tools which can be used for following the reviews on the different review sites.
Here are the tools I've seen :
-Brightlocal
-Reviewtrackers
-Vendasta
- PlacesScout ? I don't know if PlacesScout has an option to follow some businesses and make some reports. I'm pretty sure but I prefer asking.

Very soon, we will have reviews tracking available as well. FYI.
But as of now, I believe Places Scout will be a good option.

Yeah, I believe that's a good choice. It's priced reasonably tracking reviews as well as generating more ORM leads for you.
The only downside I found was that it's very slow. It takes a very long time to scrape. Just my personal opinion.

We just released an internal chart/graph analysis feature, that you can easily show your clients their performance to date. Take a look at my sales thread for some screenshots.
You should see it under your dashboard panel when you login anyways.
We are definitely not too far away from real-time reviews monitoring.

Yes I live in Europe. Pretty big country. Most of the restaurants have less than 10 reviews, that's why I only take the one which have more than 10 reviews. I have less restaurants I can contact but I won't be able to contact all the restaurants in my city anyway...
Nop. I sent some emails at the very beginning because I just wanted to test. I didn't expect any answer but I got 2 calls from my first batch of email. 0 from my 2nd batch :/
I sent some letters and got 2 calls yesterday and after I try to have an appointment with them.

UPDATE :
Yes ! Just had my 2nd appointment. And he took an offer of 300€/month (I know it's not that expensive but it's money ) for a contract of 10 months (the restaurant is closed during july/august) so that's 3000€ !
For now :
3000€ (one contract of 300€/month on a 10-month contract)
