The stoop

Door knocking without a pin is a story about the day

You feel it when the sheet says 50 and the map says 36. What is door knocking is the attempt at that household. Canvassing is the name for the same walk when you are talking about covering the territory. The tracker is the product that keeps the status on the pin.

  • Hold turf

    Cut work from the territory so one rep can finish the week. Then knock those pins.

  • Start or log

    Start Knock times the visit. Log visit saves the outcome. Both need the address.

  • Keep Not Home

    Nobody home is still door knocking. Dropping it inflates every rate you read later.

Worked example

Thirty-six knocks, four hours, a day you can recompute

Dana holds one turf and knocks for 4 hours. They log 36 knocks: 16 Not Home, 8 no answer, 7 contacts, 3 appointments, 2 sold. 16 + 8 + 7 + 3 + 2 = 36. Pace is 36 / 4 = 9 knocks per hour. Door knocking that day is 36 pins, not the 44 they typed in the chat on the drive back.

Recompute the 36. The chat that said 44 is the stall.
