Perfect Example Of Why You Should Door Knock Your Leads

[goillini52]

They had lawn mowers when you were 10?

Yep, the 1st one I used was a rotary mower(no engine). I wasn't going to be a self - employed business owner with that thing. That would be about like you knocking doors.

I value my time way too much.

Spending money will save you time.

Door knockers like the challenge of not knowing WTF's going to open that door, then working your way in and hope you don't end up in a pot on the stove.

Also, it's good exercize and fresh air's good for you.

Another weapon against the door knocker is the dreaded video door bell. I'm starting to run into them much more frequently and they never ever answer the door.They only cost $175. As more and more agents turn away from the phones as few answer more will door knock. I'm already getting screeners at the door not letting me talk to the person asking if this is life insurance. I tell them its about the extra benefits they sent off more info on. I really think as mass saturation continues you'll have to get more creative in the future . Ramiz's model is good because there inbound calls.

1. If you're only working leads, then I guess it's a problem, because you traveled all that way... just for that one lead.
2. Whenever I see a "Ring" doorbell, I always make sure that I can be seen, that I am absolutely respectful of their property (no 'fiddling' with the door handles or messing with packages, etc.).
3. With a video door bell, I'm asking if I can shake their hand and introduce myself... "but that's up to you." (You can't shake hands through a camera).

Yes, I've had a couple of people come to the door! I've also had some tell me that they were on vacation in Las Vegas, so they aren't there to greet me! (It's funny what they'll tell me!) I had one tell me that they were at work and just can't come to the door.

What this tells me, is that they see me as a trusting person and they believe that it's SAFE to tell me WHY they aren't there. While I'm not making introductions, I'll take that as a good sign anyway. I'm making the quality impressions that I want to make and I appear as a professional person worthy of trust.

Just my thoughts.

I can not imagine a more miserable job.

Doing my own cold calls to prospect.

There isn't enough commission % for me to even pretend that's something I'd want to do.

You sound like a .........something...... right now. Can you at least type like you aren't so damn condescending?

Yes, I've had a couple of people come to the door!

So how often are you out knocking? Are you leading with an EOS-type introduction or just a general "I'm a local advisor here to introduce myself" approach?

I'll call you.

Either that, or there's a big f*cking dog on the other side of the door.

Just because it would be miserable to you does not mean it is miserable to everyone else..

Come on man.

Which agent is going to make it?

The one going door to door and cold cold calling...

Or the one buying leads?
