Cold Doors 2020 - Discussion Thread

[DHK]

@DayTimer - not that I would ever tell you to change things up, but with the current volatility, you might want to consider showing this chart at people's doors and asking them some questions.

I set 3 appointments from door knocking yesterday

Met with 2 of them today.

slightly irritated that they turned out to be time wasters

Try not to set an appointment... try to make the sale then and there.

I've done the exact same thing though... its tough on the gray matter.

Keep up the work though.

Thanks Life Hawk. I really should have tried that so I wouldn't have to drive back out again for nothing.

The manager claims (I don't know the rationale) that it's better to set appointments for MP but with FE they always try to get in the door now.

However, with the number of door knocks I've done and the number of apps I've written from Door knocks I may just try this for efficiency sake.

It is best to pick a lane. I've been doing a lot of annuities. Starting to get a bunch of referrals as my peeps are telling friends and family how I "saved" their retirement money. Sometimes, life conspires to make you look like a genius.

All of my leads are within 15 minutes or less of my office and home, and the local muni is halfway between my home and my office.

Life is good.

They closed the golf course today.

Life sucks.

PA Utility Commission has banned door to door sales of energy/utility/solar ... I am waiting for the Governor to ban all door to door.

I hope not, because I'd rather he not even know I'm out here.

^cotdamn!!!

im going to keep going door to door

so far people are still opening and agreeing to meet.

only had two people refuse to meet in person. So one of those I tried to do phone consult. Didn't go so well when he kept trying to rush me to give him a quote AND when he got annoyed because i recommended final expense options (because his age and health wouldn't qualify him for MP) .....I still need more training in phone sales.

I got 2 appointments set for tomorrow from 2 hours of door knocking today.

in the mean time I do need to figure out a phone sales solution to supplement f2f just in case
