Step 1: Launch the Setup Wizard
From your dashboard:
Click: Setup
The Setup Wizard will guide you through each stage of onboarding.
Personal Profile Setup
Enter Your Name
Your first and last name determine how your name appears on certain marketing materials and internal account settings.
Best Practice:
Use the name you want associated with your business communications.
Upload a Profile Picture
Your profile image is for internal team use only.
Important:
This image is not public-facing, so you can safely upload your personal photo for account organization.
Personal Email & Phone Number
This section is strictly for account login and internal communication.
You Can Use:
- Personal email
- Personal phone number
Note:
This information does not appear on your marketing campaigns.
Select Your Time Zone
Choose your actual local time zone to ensure:
- Accurate task deadlines
- Correct appointment times
- Proper activity timestamps
Create Your Digital Signature
Your digital signature is used for marketing letters.
Options:
- Generate a signature inside the system
- Upload a scanned version of your real signature
Important:
This is not a legal signature—it is used strictly for branding and marketing.
Choose Your Business Structure
Select how you plan to operate:
- Individual
- Company / LLC
- DBA (Doing Business As)
- Not Sure Yet
Good to Know:
Your choice does not lock you into anything permanently and can be updated later.
Company Information Setup
This section controls the public business details displayed on your letters and websites.
Company Phone Numbers (Highly Recommended 3-Line Setup)
For best results, Investment Dominator recommends using a virtual phone system with three separate business lines:
1. New Offer Request Line
Used for inbound seller calls from neutral letters.
2. Offer Line (Buying)
Used for purchase offers and acquisition communication.
3. Cash Line (Selling)
Used for buyer inquiries on properties you are selling.
Why This Matters:
Using separate lines allows you to:
- Delegate seller intake to call centers
- Use AI answering services
- Keep acquisition and disposition organized
- Scale your business more efficiently
Recommended Providers:
- OpenPhone / virtual phone apps
- RingCentral
- PatLive (recommended call center)
Company Email Setup
Your company email is public-facing.
Recommended Options:
Option 1: Free Gmail
Example: YourBrand@gmail.com
Option 2: Domain-Based Email (Recommended)
Example: offers@yourbrand.com
Benefits of Domain Email:
- More professional appearance
- Better brand consistency
- Increased trust
Company Mailing Address
Avoid Using Your Home Address
Because your mailing address appears on direct mail campaigns, using your home address may compromise privacy.
Better Options:
PO Box
Traditional mailing privacy solution.
Virtual Mailbox (Recommended)
Services like Anytime Mailbox allow you to:
- Receive business mail remotely
- Get scanned mail digitally
- Protect your personal address
Buying Brand Setup
Your buying brand is how sellers see your business.
Examples:
- ABC Land Buyers
- Sunset Land Investments
- Your LLC Name
Important:
This name appears on:
- Buying website
- Neutral letters
- Seller communication
Choose a name that sounds credible and trustworthy.
Buying Website Domain Setup
Investment Dominator includes a buying website.
Free Domain Option:
You can register one domain through Investment Dominator.
Important Domain Ownership Note:
If Investment Dominator registers the domain for you:
- They cover the registration cost
- They control ownership
- You may need to pay a transfer fee later
Self-Owned Domain Option (Recommended)
Purchase your domain through:
- GoDaddy
- Namecheap
- Other registrars
Benefits:
- Full ownership
- Easier custom email setup
- Greater long-term flexibility
Selling Brand Setup
Your selling brand should remain separate from your buying brand.
Why Separate Buying & Selling Domains Matter:
If sellers see your resale pricing, it may weaken negotiation leverage.
Best Practice:
Use distinct:
- Buying brand
- Selling brand
- Buying domain
- Selling domain

Click: Complete Setup
Your system is now ready for:
- Prospecting
- Mailing campaigns

Every buyer who visits your site and submits info is automatically stored in your marketing database.
Use This For:
- Email campaigns
- Property announcements

Rework AI Integration
Rework AI scores downloaded records to help prioritize your best leads.
Score Range:
- +255 = Strong potential
- -255 = Weak potential
Recommended Threshold:
Mail to leads scoring 100+ first.
Why Use Rework AI?
Because mailing costs more than lead scoring, AI filtering can reduce wasted direct mail spend.
Example:
- Lead cost: ~$0.06
- AI score cost: ~$0.06
- Direct mail cost: ~$0.70+
