NEED: A "killer" Way to Set Appointments!

[Rearden]

It is that way in practice for me, as I have a year's worth of stats to yield that conclusion.

To be sure, I'd prefer not to do it, but I can generate the same amount of AP using 2/3 the expense if I do.

The folks I knock on have been told to expect contact, and only 1 in 100, or maybe 2 in 100, will be off-put and fan their plumes....not a big deal, there wasn't a sale there regardless.

Is your average presentation volume lower door-knocking versus set appointments?

I think door-knocking success -- besides the producer -- is contingent on regional/cultural factors.

Higher, much higher.

Higher, much higher.

The way ActingBoss presents this makes sense to me, and I bet it does work for some....just as well as JDeasy's way of only setting appts. Most new ppl like myself should try both with a good amount of leads to be sure....but Im guessing in Cali, door knocking is less effective. I could def be wrong tho!

I know about that the LH that LH claims to send out. I wish you would come to Western Ky and Southern In. and be the the top dog for LH.

Higher, much higher.

I mean -- for example, can you average 20 appointments each work week door-knocking versus set appointments?

I think there are clear pros and cons to both methods -- however, if your goal is to hit a high number of appointments, door-knocking *probably* will have a lower ceiling on what's possible than appointment setting.

Yes, you'll probably be burning through more leads, but that doesn't necessarily mean your net will be less. And you can always door knock them down the road and play dumb.

Bottom line, both methods work and you got to adapt your method to what gets you the best edge.

I do a mixture of both -- door knocking between set appointments.

Where are you getting your leads?

For those inquiring minds, Buckeye did call me. He is with LH.

I think I was able to help him out as much as I could without him leaving LH.

So for you guys in OH...more inventory!!

For some reason the idea of your replacing my customers, were I an agent in Ohio, doesn't exactly inspire fear.

Whats the source of all this undeserved and transparent arrogance?

History is on his side.

Arrogance seems to be your calling card.

Ambitious approach. Do you count a DK where nobody is home, or only those where you talk to the lead and have a sit down? I do appointments, but I've recently started door knocking my older leads to boost production without boosting lead cost.

Don't give up just keep working at it hard and you will succeed sometimes it will get you down and then the ball will roll and you will be right back up it is the nature of the sales beast.
