I'm gonna drop some knowledge from my younger days as one of these guys, and why I hated doing it. The goal is, make the sale or make it so they never talk to the company again. It was considered a "badge of honor" to have someone call in and complain about how rude you were. The boss WANTED that to happen, but told the people on the phone you were fired, while apologizing, and , yup, offering the same products/services at a discount to make up for it as a last chance to close the sale. The sad thing is, if you look at the sales data on it all, it works to a degree that is just dumb. So yes, this is how door to door works and it works very well. I lasted 2 weeks doing this type of thing. I just didn't have that mean in me to handle it.

My great grandfather was a door to door salesman in the 50s (it was more popular back then). He’d sell things people actually needed, and it was a convenience when he’d come to their door selling furniture instead of them having to go out and get it. He was white selling in a black community which was very segregated, and he’d always bring candy for the children, remember names, and hang out even when he’d have nothing to sell. He was very well liked there and respected. This is definitely not that

As a psychologist i wrote a thesis on the anger positivity that actually occurs with door to door sales basically if they never take no and try to make you angry when you say no and if they get you to call the company/complain after the conversation you are around 90% likely to buy the product you rejected at the door from the “manager” you’re complaining to at a discounted rate as the managers “apology” who will always agree with someone complaining and always say the employee is going to be “fired” because of the complaint you just made. In truth ALL they want you to do is buy the product but if not ideally complain to your manager because your more likely to buy the product over the phone at a “discounted rate” while complaining then at the door or a store or pretty much anywhere because you’re being told you’re right the employee is wrong and will be personally hurt by being fired… this is where the phrase “the customer is always right” comes from and why people who follow that rule are going to be promoted over people who look after other employees feelings in any retail job like McDonald’s

I raised money for charity and was instructed to make people feel guilty for not providing for the people in Ukraine, when in reality about 70% of what they’d donate goes to me and my boss’s salary. I do not want an entire neighborhood in my own hometown to associate my face with “that annoying” salesman”.

And that was unpleasant enough an experience to put me off humans generally. So I feel for you, my friend. Hope your life is better now?

I did door to door appointment setting for exterior remodeling salesmen and that's exactly what we did. I told them right away, I'm not selling anything but I noticed their (roof, siding, windows) looked like they could use some work and my company will be in this area on X week so if they're interested in any exterior remodeling then I can set up an appointment. If they said they weren't interested I said alrighty, thanks for your time and I left, sometimes I'd offer a card if they said they might be interested but weren't sure. I got 10-20 appointments a day and 5-20 ended up in sales every week meaning a few thousand dollars in bonuses for me and tens of thousands in sales for the company. I only went to houses that actually could use work and knocked on probably less than 100 doors a day. I truly believe that just being a decent person in any line of business will ultimately make you the most money in the long run.

Same with scammers, the best way to deal with sales people is to waste their time because time = money. They'll know not to call you again after that.

As a person that did door to door for almost 9 years I can defiantly 100% say that people like this DO NOT speak for all of us! We are not all rude like this. Most door to door guys are very polite and do their job very professionally, it just sucks to have this much negative connotations about us because it's really not what door to door marketing is all about. It's not always all about "making the sale that day" or that minute... most of the time people knocking doors are just trying to set appointments, one thing I was taught is that absolutely nobody likes to be SOLD anything, people just like to be informed and make a decision completely on their own.

I’m a salesman - you gotta respect the “No”. Trying to force the sale only hurts you long term. It would be much better to say, “ Would you be interested in me checking in next year to gauge interest?” Most people say yes, which means you have a cell phone and a requested follow-up. Then, next year you call and say, “We spoke last year - it wasn’t a good time then, but you asked me to call and set this up in a year. What do you think?”

The most important thing for me is to always establish a next step (like, reaching out next year). If they agree to a next step (most do), then I reference that when I reach out again: “You asked me to reach out in a year to get you a free quote.” That almost always lands the quote. The question is, are you playing the long game or the short game. I’ve found more success and better relationships playing the long game. As for how I manage all those contacts, I use a prospect management system (Pipedrive), which holds info, tracks prospect progress, and schedules next steps into my calendar.

It does actually work if you do it right. its not about convincing someone to buy a product or service, its about finding someone who already needs said product/service and handling any objections they might have, for example, if someone tells me they arent interested in buying or selling a home at all, then i move on, but if someone mentions that they'd like to but they're waiting for interest rates to drop, then i handle that objection and keep talking and moving forward.

Here's the schedule I worked when living in Tampa: Monday - Saturday -- 7:30 am arrive at office in Tampa for leaders' meeting and interviews -- 10:00 am atmosphere (basically just drilling people on their sales pitches as loud music blared. usually ended with managers hyping people up/announcing the previous day's "high-rollers"). -- 11:00 am driving out to the events, which were always at Walmarts. I'd often times have to drive as far as Lakeland, Palmetto, and even Bradenton, and no one *ever* helped with fuel expenses -- ~7:30-8 pm arrive back at office to set goals with whoever I trained that day, have them meet with the main manager etc. 8:30 pm was the earliest I ever got out of there.

I own a pressure washing business, and when I was 18 and first getting started, I had to go door to door (this was before Google and SEO). I actually had a lot of success, and I think the fact that I had no clue what I was doing, was actually a blessing in disguise. My pitch was "hi I'm Mike, I noticed you had some algae on your house and I was wondering if you might be interested in getting it power washed." Then I'd shut up. And that was it. Most people said no or if they needed it in the future, they'd give me a call. When I did get someone who said yes, I'd always make sure I finished up right around the time people are getting home from work, then I'd put up a lawn sign and hand out some flyers. A lot of people would ask for an estimate as I was working, and if I didn't have a job lined up the next day, I'd start knocking again until I got one ... The key to sales is honesty and authenticity. You don't need any stupid jokes and you definitely don't have to be pushy. Just cut straight to the point, be polite and friendly, and the majority of people will like you, and likability is how you get sales.

I once had a job with the Census where I had to go to addresses where either the occupants didn't submit their forms for the decade or it got lost in the mail or the like. The job is pretty much a script they made for anyone to use but you might be surprised how often I've approached a household and, while most were quite nice, even friendlier than I expected for such a task and how it can be taken, some people I kid you not looked at me like I was a G Man. They were hostile and refused to cooperate with me but it was like they were afraid of me or something. Their barking was usually behind a screen door or running back into their house with a look of panicked fear. I just am putting numbers on some paper for a population tracker and they can refuse to answer what they don't feel like. Looking back, I wouldn't be surprised if I'd have gotten assaulted or worse, haha.

Can't speak on insurance sales but i worked in cell phone sales for about 3 years and top performers(top 10%) earned roughly 90K after their 10K bonus. The average was about 55-60K though. That being said it was the most mentally draining thing i've ever had to do, you're being micro-managed constantly, are told to offer to the customer 3 times and after the third no you are supposed to go to the back to get a manager involved. Managers refused to help with customer escalations and billing disputes. You're basically told to lie to people, and exaggerate the truth so far that people often forget or are confused as to what is going on. It's great money especially just starting out, but man is it toxic.

Basically it’s person to person as far as your experience with the person knocking. The reason he pushes is to build up the muscle of his brain thinking of solutions for customer objections and trying to overcome them in any way he can. Even though it leads to some wild interactions.. the shit works and it’s really fun once you get good at communicating and building value in your product but remaining realistic if someone pushes you off. I know I’m not afraid to set appointments because I can build good rapport with people and find out if they’re an actual buyer before I even think about coming back. It’s all about effort and organization after you’ve built trust and value for your customer. People buy from people they like though.
