Hell 50% of the homes I go in you better have shoes on .Just like the wave getting out of the car . That gives away salesman 100 times . I want them to be curious who I am . I do know this open enrollment at least 100 people I knocked told me they never ever answer the phone anymore . Also many low income people now have built in by the carrier spam blockers . I put one of my phones on silence if it doesn't recognize the # . It's beautiful .

Nobody ever says yes to having you take your shoe off.

But it's a good pattern interrupt, especially for the new guys that may not have the best door approach yet.

The prospect might be ready to object, but asking "do you need me to take my shoes off," interrupts the objection and makes them focus on the question.

And they always say "No."

"Great, where's a good place to sit down?"

Never done it. No need to.

What kind of clown comes to your home for a professional service and asks if they should take their shoes off?

I'm not asking. And if I had ever had someone request I remove my shoes I would refuse and leave.

Same for the dumbass "wave". I get what the desk jockeys are saying about that. They will pretend to not be home and by waving they think you saw them.

Who the f..k cares? If they were going to pretend to not be home, I don't want to talk to them.

I get in 95% of homes that answer the door . If there going to answer they will . I did pick up a this a few yrs ago at the door it really works . Instead of saying . " can I speak to Betty " if you say " I'm here to see Betty " makes a huge difference if a gatekeeper answers the door .They think Bettys expecting you . If gatekeeper says what's this about you say " Betty contacted our office to see if she qualifies for the state benefit program . She ASKED us to come out and see if she qualifies " . I can't stress enough there's no magic words . As important as what you say is how you say it . If they have a dog " I'm scared of dogs she's not going to eat me is she " . Get a quick laugh . Lowers the guard and allows you to form a connection in the first 20 seconds .I got so many direct mail leads if the resist I walk . I got no time for smart ass's . Others need my help .

In the spirit of Thanksgiving I'm very thankful that my so called competitors are taught crap like the wave and should I take my shoes off.

So, thank all of the desk jockeys that teach that stuff!!
