DOOR-TO-DOOR SALES.

 

Now that the national do-not-call list makes it impossible to reach millions of potential customers, some marketing companies are returning to an old-fashioned alternative: door-to-door salespeople.

 

"Door to door" redirects here. For other uses, see Door to Door.

This article is about the sales technique. For the travelling salesman problem in mathematics, see travelling salesman problem.

Door-to-door is a sales technique in which a salesman walks from one door to another trying to sell a product or service to the general public. A variant of this involves cold calling first, when another sales representative attempts to gain agreement that a salesperson should visit. Door-to-door selling is usually conducted in the afternoon hours, when the majority of people are at home.

In the United States, door-to-door sales are illegal in communities that have passed a Green River Ordinance.

Typically, products sold door to door will be of the same variety that can be purchased at large discount stores. The products accounting for the largest share of direct-sales revenue includes cleaning supplies, cleaning equipment, magazines, and home improvement products. The largest of these would be the home improvement products where item could be new or repaired roofs, siding, new replacement windows, and decorative stone.

There are several techniques to use to establish a good solid door-to-door work force.

 

Remember the saying that the more people you help, the better off you are. Use this analogy in your marketing strategies. For example, how many High schools or colleges are located around you? How many companies are hiring in your area?

The purpose of those questions, are to get you to think outside the box. High school and college students need money, and you need workers.

 

Visit the local schools and offer students a part time evening job and or a summer job. You can offer to pay them by the hour, or to choose our method, and that is, pay per sale or commission only. Create a flyer, and take it to the schools. Pass them around or place them in the cafeteria.

Create your own commission structure. Be sure to protect yourself when it comes to your employees. Always request to hold there photo ID or license until the memberships and sales are dropped off. We would also highly recommend having them sign a contract that states if they do not return the membership cards by the end of the day, it is considered theft by taking and you will report them to the local authorities. 

 

This insures that you will get your membership cards and or monies back.

 

Be sure to always look into third party promotion companies as well. For example, there are companies that canvass neighborhoods to sell and promote products and services.  One company that comes to the top of our heads is Smart Circle.

These companies will most likely work with you and the will allocate some of their representatives to your campaign.  Pay them commission only on every sale that they make. This allows duplication to take effect and thus creating a bigger revenue stream for your business.
