# How often you return to those doors

A call cycle is how often you return to the same accounts, and what is a call cycle in sales on a canvass desk is how often the crew comes back to the same doors on that turf. Knockdesk is field sales software that holds the pack and the weekly visit target, not a numbered cycle object.

## A call cycle with no owner is just a hope you come back

You feel it when last week's Not Home doors get recut as if nobody stood there. What is a call cycle in sales is the return rule, not a new drawing. 90 visits on a 210-pin turf is a week someone can finish. The next week starts from the pins that are still open, not from a blank map.

**The pack.** Cut turf so one rep can hold it. A territory with no cut has no cycle, only a shape.

**The target.** Set a weekly visit target. 90 on Harbor loop is a return you can count.

**Not Home.** Not Home still saves. Those doors stay in the cycle. They are not a skip.

## A cycle sits on turf, inside a sales territory

A sales territory is the area you draw. Turf is the work cut from it. Canvassing is the walk on that pack. The call cycle is how often that walk comes back.

## How Knockdesk tracks it

Knockdesk does not name a call-cycle object. You cut turf inside a sales territory and set a weekly visit target from 1 to 100,000. Visits land on the pin, including Not Home. Finished doors stay finished. The next week is the return to unfinished work. Full desk is on the pricing page.
