Any pointers on best way to door knock those that have already been mailed to but haven't returned card?

1. Approach front door.
2. Knock loudly on front door.

I did it a few times. My plan was to knock the streets I had the leads on. I knocked the first street from the list, too much walking not enough talking, the next streets I did I knocked the whole street. I didn't get a sale from it yet, but I did get some folks in the pipeline to call on. I've only done the one mailing up til now. I just ordered a bunch more.

Best of Luck,
Jim

I've just noticed that about 60% of lead cards filled out...people always say "what's this about?"
I might as well knock everyone I've mailed to if people are that ignorant..

If they are that ignorant you may want to avoid them altogether!

If I were knocking cold, I would take a sample lead card out to show them, explain it briefly and create some excuse for showing up, and ask for an appointment.

I was thinking about knocking doors where I do have lead cards and saying something like "My company sent you one of these cards about a week ago, and out of courtesy I wanted to stop by and get this information to you."

I work with an IMO that these leads cards available for a nominal price. Normally can write business on 5% - 10%. It's a grind, but it's doable for anyone that doesn't mind the frustration of knocking on doors for 2 days with no sales. Of course, 100 door knocks a week should turn into at least 5 sales. It may work out to be 2 sales on Monday and 3 on Friday with nothing in between. If that doesn't bother you, go for it.

I tried that.

Hated it.

So much gas wasted.

But don't let me get you down

Can't be any worse than regular door knocking off of lead card. I'll still do lead cards, etc., but there has to be a few more that are interested but don't fill out card.
