Staying Motivated When Canvassing Door to Door and Dealing with Rejection

[@alexhaas8845]

I sometimes like knocking with a partner, because it keeps me from getting bored AND if I'm with someone who's wearing the same polo/logo as me, it seems more legit. Also showing gratitude towards those who answer and hear you out EVEN IF they aren't a fit, I appreciate that they gave me a chance and I let them know that! I walk away not with a deal, HOWEVER I feel warm and fuzzy after a heart felt thank you.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

Dig the gratitude for sure! I get asked a lot about "tag teaming" at the door. There's a lot to be said about the effectiveness, but I always bring this up. Will it 2x or more your sales productivity? If the answer is YES, keep it up. If not, I would go solo. This is only to respect your time and be efficient ya know? Everything else you talked about with gratitude is spot on!!

[@AlextheRoofer]

Love this comment exactly even if you don’t fit at least listen what I have to offer all get is “ I’m not interested” or “ who is it” Soo I mean how can I explain to the homeowners if they don’t give me a chance

[@michaelmerck7576]

Problem with a partner is you appear like you are "ganging up on the homeowner

[@vendingservices8900]

@@michaelmerck7576 Not if you both come across the right way. Door knocking with the wrong person is a problem though. Some people become liabilities rather than assets. One thing I’ve quickly realized

[@ArcherInTraining2]

​@@vendingservices8900honestly. Personally I'm new to a company as a canvasser and I have a canvass manager but she is a bulldozer she listens to people but she pushes and pushes and pushes to set an appointment and it works but people feel like they didn't have a choice in the end. our company will go back to a map after 6 months or a year and people often remember us. So my thing is I feel you are better off not pushing to hard being respectful and nice and having conversations and getting to know people even if they don't want anything because when we come back they will remember that we were respectful and understanding and that has made tons of people who gave strong No's once before give a strong YES 6 months or a year down the line.

Love this video. 2 things I'm afraid of was working minimum wage job or a cubic office job. Working outside, meeting new people, also getting your exercise in is just perfect man.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

100% agree! You got this!!

[@sweatysharkey4347]

Adam, oh Adam… I’ve been doing door to door sales for the past 3 years, and I want to say thank you. THANK YOU. I recently left a restoration company with 3 million in my pipeline ready to get built in spring, (knocked all winter long) and the company got bought out by private investors that changed the way the company paid commissions. I made a lateral change to a different roofing company and I am running into burnout. The type of burn out where I feel distant with reality… anyway…. Here I am up at 1am worrying about how I am going to muster up the ability to “smash my income goals” and be able to pay for a wedding for my fiancé. Your video made me realize that I am not the only one that runs into burnout.. thank you again for posting yet another great masterpiece!

[@TheRoofStrategist]

You are not alone my dude. I'm rooting for you. You got this!

[@roxannerodriguez7075]

I've been working as a caregiver for years, and I am totally burnt out. I'm 42, I don't have any other kind of experience, no education, and I just don't want to take care of people anymore... 😧 I was looking on Indeed and saw "Canvasser for a local non-profit." Which led me here, lol. It was relieving to read your comment, because I felt as if someone else gets it. I'm not sure if I'll even apply for the job. But like you said "we all experience burnout" and like he said "look at (it/each shift) like dollar signs. Best of luck to all of us fighting burnout. 🙏💜

[@IAmJeffDouglas]

Excellent info. Been door knocking solar for about these pasts 3 months. pretty rough at times.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

Thanks my man. YES it can be rough - no denying that. It's all about personal development and learning to deflect the rejection and tough times. Hope this video helps!

At 5:00 mins you mentioned that it was old and could be hail damaged... would that be worth saying to every homeowner with an old roof? How often is there hail damage and would insurance cover damage from 5 seasons ago?

A video and script are in the works :) You're talking cold calling for residential jobs etc, right?

[@Bhines1982]

The Roof Strategist yes! I have my mom cold calling. As we discussed I can be a little awkward and coming up to a warm lead makes my process work better. I wrote a script but I think being more STRATEGIC in the wording would really help.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

@@Bhines1982 - I will be filming this video shortly and it should post within the next few weeks :) I'll also be including some cold call scripts in my "Expansion Pack" that will be FREE for everyone who already purchased the Roofing Sales Accelerator Marketing Pack. Do me a favor though? Out of curiosity, I'd like to see the script you're using. Email it my way if you're open to it.

[@jasonesmail1640]

Dont count your eggs until they hatch, there are tons of variables in roofing, but I guess if you are a comission salesmen vs the owner you guarantee the comission and in that case you can count your flow before its done.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

Jason, this tip is purely to help you stay motivated :) AGREE that you shouldn't "bank" on the commission coming in until it does. And you definitely shouldn't spend it, nor budget for it, but you SHOULD always think about it to stay motivated. You bring a great point!

[@lilflaccid]

Hey man, absolutely love the video, it defenitely will help me more when i go to knock on doors this week. I have done it in the past for my parents who own a roofing company, but for 3 weeks straight I just got shut down over, and over, to the point i gave up. Here i am back at it, except the one thing i struggle with the most, is the anxiety to go up and knock. Is there any advice you could give for that ? I really liked the boat one.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

Hey Garbiel, glad to have you here! I sure do have videos to help with anxiety at the door.
