Knock It! Pro's Smart Door-to-Door Canvassing Strategies
In the fast-paced world of sales, implementing effective canvassing strategies is paramount. When you execute a smart approach, not only do you make the most of your valuable time, but you also build trust within the area, leading to more successful sales. Our lead trainer, Ryan Roche, has introduced two simple steps to enhance your canvassing tactics.
Step 1: In-Depth Area Knowledge
Success in sales often comes from understanding your surroundings. When interacting with potential customers, try to gather as much information you can about them, the area, and the local community. Here are a few questions you can incorporate into your conversations:
- How many families live in this area?
- What are the usual work hours of the residents?
- Can you name the tech-savvy individuals in the area?
- Has there been any recent break-ins or pest issues in the neighborhood?
While these prospects may or may not convert into customers, they remain valuable resources for you to collect data about the area. Each piece of information about your surroundings or industry-specific details like local crime rates or common pest problems will give you an edge over your competitors.
Step 2: Look Out for Signs of Life
Rather than going door-to-door aiming to find people at home, allocate your time according to the visible "Signs of Life". Empty driveways, darkened homes, signs of absence — all these indicate that the house is probably vacant. Stick to the "Yo-Yo Approach". Knock on doors until late afternoon, focusing on houses showing signs of activity.
As people return from work, usually around 5 PM, circle back to the homes you had previously skipped. Revisiting homes you previously missed is a step many representatives overlook, but it's an essential part of respecting and valuing every lead. Showing this level of commitment and attention to detail could lead to future referrals or sales from these leads.
