Door Knockers

That sounds a lot better. Doesn't sound like the "typical salesman line." Thanks.

It's also in how you say it. I use a similar line with setting appts over the phone. "...it just takes about 5 min to go over the information with you, do morn or afternoons work better for you?"

Make it sound like your just some 9-5 shlub trying to get his job done.

When I first introduce myself at the door, I throw in the words, 'state approved' I then tell them that I am licensed by the state, and my job is to see what you qualify for, and give you the proper information.

I doorknocked one early last week while they were cutting the grass and piddling around in the garage.

I just asked them for an appointment later that week.

Don't let the time of day, the size of the house, or other such stuff build a case for you not to call on them. I know that I have to constantly remind myself not to be discouraged from not making calls for whatever reason, as it's a weakness for myself.

Do you always ask for an appointment or do you try to get in on first stop?

Always right then and there ask to see them now.

This was an exception as it was obvious they were both busy.
