# A dealer at someone else's door

A door to door dealer sells another company's offer at the door. Knockdesk is field sales software, and crews asking what is a door to door dealer want that office, not the vendor that made the product.

## The dealer owns the crew. The vendor owns the offer.

You feel it when the vendor file and the dealer sheet disagree and both names want Friday. What is a door to door dealer is the office that hires the setters, holds the turf, and waits on that file. 18 sold and 16 confirmed is the week. The 2 extras are not pay until the file says so.

**One vendor.** Put one vendor on the turf. A mixed pack is how the wrong offer gets paid.

**The rate.** Save a vendor rate with a window. Confirmation uses that window. A blank stays blank.

**The file.** Match the vendor file to the won deal. The dealer story is not the confirmation.

## The dealer is not the setter seat

A door to door dealer is the office. A setter is the person who books the sit for that office. Turf is the pack that holds one vendor.

- [Setter](/glossary/setter): The person who books the sit for the dealer.

- [Turf](/glossary/turf): The pack that should hold one vendor.

## How Knockdesk tracks it

Knockdesk keeps one vendor per turf, vendor rates with effective windows, and a vendor-file match. Confirmation uses the rate you already saved. The product never invents a rate. Full desk is on the pricing page.
