Attitude is everything. I’ve had days where I get punted around a neighborhood, then I come back to the same hood the next day & get almost everyone I talk with to signed up.
It doesn’t matter your occupation, show up, smile, be positive, give 100% & you will see the results.

Learning the art of selling can get you from losing to winning real fast.
My best day I walked into a neighborhood without any customers & sold 15 in 1 day, generating over $7.9k in reoccurring revenue.
15/25 said yes, 2 no’s, 2 callbacks, & the 16th called in the day after.

5 of 18 people I talked to signed up yesterday evening.
8 said no, 1 said come back later & 4 didn’t answer.
3 of the 5 that signed immediately told me not interested when I first knocked. After a few smoke screens they heard me out & realized it was a service they valued.

Last year I closed 1 out of every 7 doors I knocked. I’ve got two rookies who close 1 in about every 100.
My closing rate is higher due to 9 years of trial and error and getting my teeth kicked in.
Sometimes you gotta get your teeth kicked in to log that experience.

I’ve got 2 rookie reps that are completely different.
One can hold a conversation with anyone & enjoys things like sports, the other is kinda awkward & enjoys stuff like making sourdough bread.
They both sell about the same amount of accounts.
Everyone is different.

We provide a ton of incentives to keep our sales reps motivated & driven.
We do yearly, monthly, weekly & daily incentives for the team.
Daily incentives get the guys going. Even though they make upward of $200 a sale, It amazes me how competitive they get over $20 cash.

I’ve seen sales reps make well over 7 figures in commissions.
7 figures sounds crazy for a guy knocking doors, but the amount of effort that goes into mastering their craft, recruiting & putting in extra hours on & off the doors is the crazy part.
Some wish, while others do.

Year 3 in 2017 I sold 272 accounts & generated over 175k in revenue. After cancellations I made a little over 82k from my personal sales.
At this point I started to seriously start thinking that maybe this could be more than just a summer job.

Sometimes it’s the most interesting sales reps that take home the most bacon.
I’ve knew a rep that made well over 100k in 3 months & when asked what his secret was he just said “I walk walk walk, knock knock knock, talk talk talk.”

Some companies rely heavily on word of mouth, ads & traditional forms of marketing. We do the same, however, the thing that has allowed us to grow ultra fast is D2D.
Instead of waiting on customers to call the phone we take action by pounding the pavement & closing deals.

I do my best to have a full day of rest & soak up time with my family. We go to church & then enjoy our time together before another crazy week.
But I do know a lot of business owners & other D2D guys who work/knock on Sundays.
Do you work on Sundays?

Good reminder that there are good companies & bad companies. Some companies that are great & others that are going to over promise & underdeliver.
Research & think about it before signing just because you saw something shiny.
Hopefully this post saves you a few thousands.

Year 8, I started my company. I moved my family to a new location, took a chance & bet on me.
I sold 271 accounts & serviced 132k in rev.
While selling I serviced the majority of the jobs I sold, dealt with customers, ordered products while having a new born baby mid summer.

Year 9 was the 2nd year of owning our business.
I sold 252 accounts and generated another 132k in revenue.
Still involved in spraying, ordering products, training, customer service & other responsibilities.

Majority of no soliciting homes don’t care, most all the signs came with the home when they bought it. As long as the rep is courteous & nice, everyone is generally very receptive. It’s usually the people who are having a bad day or are unhappy with their lives that throw a fit.
We never knock before 9 am or after dark but I do have some bad news for you.
Those no soliciting signs are big targets saying “KNOCK ME!” This is the first thing they teach you at any D2D company. Since many young guys are too nervous to knock these doors, people in these

My first summer in 2014 I sold 88 accounts, generated over 57k in revenue, I made a little over 19k. It wasn’t a ton, but for being a hungry college kid in between semesters I was juiced. This was the start that changed my life.

Life responds to effort.
If you want to be average do average things.
If you want to get ahead of the pack you gotta put in the effort to go all in.
D2D is a vehicle that can change the trajectory of your life, it comes down to what you are willing to do with that vehicle.

Text book for closing. People will say no all the time until you give them two options. People can’t help it and sign up all the time. It’s a bug cheat code.
Want to close more sales?
Use the double option close.
Here’s how it works:
After explaining your service, building value in what you do, and explaining pricing, offer two options. Not one, not three, not ten. TWO!
“Do you want to move forward with the basic plan or premium

This is exactly why pest control companies love door to door teams 🤤 route density is what we do!
Can you start a pest control business while working a full time job?
I get this question a lot.
You would still need to make the full investment which is at a minimum $1000 and get your licensing and insurance squared away. At this point, most of your fixed costs are already

Year 4 in 2018 I sold 345 accounts & generated over 208k in revenue. After cancellations I made over 114k from my personal sales.
We had a solid team that year & pushed each other to what we thought was our max.
After hitting over 100k that summer I was hooked.

After taking a year off in D2D sales, I realized that if I wanted to make more money, I needed a job that allowed me to get paid for my production rather than my time.
My 2nd summer in 2016 I sold 136 accounts, generated over 86k in revenue and made a little over 37k in 3 months

In my sales experience I’ve seen it all. Sales reps who make a ton of money in a short amount of time & sales reps who struggle and give up. I noticed those who show up everyday are the ones who excel. Showing up to train, working the hours & having a little grit goes along way.

Our early bird reps had their first sales training today. I can’t wait to see which of the 16 reps will grow the most, sell the most & which will be the grittiest. You really never know who is going to succeed until they are on the streets pounding pavement & knocking doors.

We always do incentives such as first person to get a sale gets 20 cash or we do 1 rep vs another and whoever gets the most sales gets 20 cash.
It’s a fun way to motivate the guys and get into a competitive state rather than focusing on the job being hard.

Older folks are better to hit in the early morning to late afternoon, they are much happier and more receptive, the later it gets the crankier they are. Prime time for most everyone is from 5-9 pm. You will catch a lot more folks home.

D2D sales is a cheat code, it’s basically printing money (if you know what you are doing). Business owners get long term clients and sales reps get a big paycheck. It’s a big win-win for everyone.

We have been implementing this in our D2D program. Once the sale has been made then we ask for referrals of friends, rental properties, or if they own a business and if it is being treated. You would be surprised how many more sales we get from just simply asking.

…what I should have been paid. Should have been around 183k on personal sells but ended up getting around 140k with my recruits.
Lessons learned is few companies are great, a lot of companies are not. Most tend to over promise and under deliver.
Know who you are working for.

I agree but also disagree, things happen, risks happen, deals go south, economies change. It’s all part of life. Their are to many variable to say if your not a millionaire you screwed up. But then again I agree you gotta adapt and pivot until you get there.

Hey great question! I am over a million, between my business, stocks, real estate and a few other assets. It’s cool to say I am over a million but at the end of the day I don’t feel much different and it can fluctuate, could change if the market crashes tomorrow.

The last company I worked for was a circus. I had a little bit of “equity” & they offered me to buy more of the overall company at 7x. Delusionally over valued. I said no thanks and then the company sold out for less than a 1.5 multiple less than a year later.

We introduce ourselves, create brand awareness & sign up as many people in that area as possible. We offer discounts to create more urgency to sign up now. This creates more efficient routes and more customers seeing our trucks in the area, which leads to more people calling in.
