# Door-to-door selling on a territory

D2D sales meaning is door-to-door selling on a territory. Knockdesk is field sales software for that walk: the turf you cut, the knock on the pin, and the outcome a d2d sales rep still has to bring back on Friday.

## D2D sales dies when the door and the desk disagree

A d2d salesman and a d2d sales rep are the same person on that territory: they knock, they talk, and they log the outcome. If the sale lives in a vendor portal and the knock lives in a chat, chargebacks start as missing houses. The week has to match the turf a person already holds.

**The territory.** D2D sales is not a random walk. Someone drew the area and cut turf from it.

**The knock.** Nobody-home is still the job. Skip it and you sell a coverage percent that is fiction.

**The household.** The deal has to sit on the address the rep knocked, or the closer inherits a rumor.

## Two hundred knocks, forty sits, ten closes

Labeled example, not a customer week. A d2d sales rep logs 200 knocks, 40 sits, and 10 closes. Sit rate is 40 / 200 = 20 percent. Close rate on sits is 10 / 40 = 25 percent. Doors per close is 200 / 10 = 20. That is the d2d sales funnel for one turf pack. Write the same numbers on Friday or the week is a story.

| Step | Count | Rate |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Knocks | 200 | The walk |
| Sits | 40 | 40 / 200 = 20% sit rate |
| Closes | 10 | 10 / 40 = 25% close rate on sits |
| Doors per close | 200 / 10 = 20 | How much walk each sale cost |

## D2D sales is the motion. Canvassing is the walk.

Canvassing is walking a territory to start conversations at the door. D2D sales is that walk with a sale as the job. Outside sales is the broader in-person week, including a B2B stop that is not a household.

**Canvassing.** The walk that starts the conversation. D2D sales keeps the sale as the ask.

**Turf.** Work cut from the territory so one d2d sales rep can finish the week.

**Solicitor permit.** The local license to knock. D2D sales still has to follow the town.

## How Knockdesk tracks it

Knockdesk logs each knock on the pin, including Not Home, on turf cut from a territory. Start Knock times the visit. Log visit saves the outcome. A lead can open from that visit, one per pin and vendor. Full desk is on the pricing page.
