It may be more efficient to call for you but for most of us, it is the opposite...That's why I shared MY EXPERIENCE! I can and do make blanket statements, just like YOU DO in a LOT of your posts.... REGULARLY!
F.E. Return Cards - My Experience. Any Advice?

Each way has its advantages. Calling can save time and gas as you know you are likely to have sit down when you get there. You don't spend time chasing ghosts.
However, I find it easier to get an interview F2F so door knocking seems to work best for me. (I even door knock referrals.. seldom call in advance).By knocking, if you are observant of your surroundings, you can often pick up other prospects. If the prospect isn't home, I will pick out the neighboring home that seems to most fit my desired demographic and knock on their door, "I'm looking for Mrs. Jones, when is she most likely to be home? 6? Fine. Thanks, BTW:..............." You can't really do this very well on the phone. One other thing, I try for the interview when I call. My objective is not to set an appointment and I only set.them if I can' get an immediate sit down.
It comes down to the area you are working and what works for you. The most important part is the success you are having. I tend to call my leads and set apts. I also door knock ones that don't answer the phone or always have it go to voicemail, which I rarely leave a message. Those in particular I end up door knocking. Now, if you don't give good phone, or are new to the business it is probably wise to go out and just door knock. If you are working on lead cards and don't leave a phone number it isn't worth trying to find there number, I would just dk them.
I also DK leads that are in the same general area if I have an apt set as well.

I would challenge to find a blanket statement made by me. Nor is it more efficient for most FE agents to doorknock. Most of the top producers either call ahead or have appointment setters.

Yeah, like the guy said, HE lives in the city and is not selling in the RURAL areas that you are working... and he is NOT an EXPERIENCED TOP PRODUCER for final expense... No offense man, I was just trying to be helpful and share MY experience.
JD, I actually listened to a recording of you a few times and have been using some of the sales technique that you shared. Thank you for that!

I'm not busting on you. I apologize if it came out that way. I'm simply saying there are many ways to skin this cat.
I know a guy that doorknocks to set appointments. As routine he will not meet with them when there the first time. That has to be the most inefficient way to do business but the guy does over $150,000 ap every year and has over 90% persistancy.
