Sorry to say Jd but the advise you're giving doesn't apply to 95% of agents . New agents who have low cash flow and must work leads to the bone and have to do things seasoned agents don't. I tell people "I drove 100 miles just to see you,5 minutes of your time is all I'm asking for". I then move forward crowding them and most back away and let me in. I've been door knocking 15 doors a day 5 days a week the last 6 weeks and about 6 -8 people will answer the door and I'm selling 3-4 policies a day.My leads are 3-4 months old as I did a huge drop near yr end (i miscalculated). They're way to old to call. It's funny tons of people mention "I didn't think agents came to homes anymore".But I have to say it's grueling work .

I wasn't giving advice. I was saying what I do.

But since you want to engage me I will say this, I think you are talking about a loser's mentality. Talking someone into meeting with you that doesn't have an interest cannot be good for the long term.

And the tactic you claim to use would get you planted about 10 ft away from my door if you tried that at my home.

As far too old to call, I think that's just nonsense. I made appointments this past week on leads I've had for almost a year.

I had one appointment form an AIC telelead. I haven't used those since Jan of 2014.

You start crowding me while I am standing in my own door, you definitely are not getting in.. In fact, you may be moving backwards very quickly..

I highly doubt you're moving me backwards. I'll just leave it at that

 

[GoPokes]

Crowding the door is what I like to call "the lean" it comes after "the wave". I just sort of lean towards the open door and see if they back up and allow me in. If they don't, then I casually return to standing up and back where I was. But I usually only use this on appointments that are already set, when they are giving some resistance upon opening the door

Oh.. I would not depend on my own strength to do it.. too old to play that game.

If it comes to that, do you think you'd make a sale.....and if you did, do you think it would stick?

 

[KidsGotHeart]

It's not about making sales, it's about getting glory in the arena.

We will see if they are still doing it when they get to be 70. Not only am I old, I am slow and that is a dangerous combination .. for me!
