# See how to hire field sales reps before you post

How to hire field sales reps is choosing people who will own a territory, log the visit, and keep the deal on the same desk, then letting them knock while onboarding is still open. Knockdesk field sales software holds that first week. This page is not a job board and it does not quote pay.

## Screen for the door, not for a paycheck story

People ask how to recruit door to door sales reps when the last crew left after the first hard day. The hard part of door to door sales recruiting is a paycheck you cannot defend. Screen for showing up, logging the door, and staying on the turf you assigned.

**Show up.** The first test is whether they will work the pack you handed them.

**Log the door.** Not Home is a visit. A blank pin is not a full day.

**One turf.** Two people on the same doors is a hiring miss, not a coverage plan.

**No pay story.** This page does not state earnings. Keep pay in a conversation you can stand behind.

## Recruiting ends when they can knock a real pack

What field sales recruiting has to finish is the posting, the screen, and the territory you will actually hand over. Knockdesk is not a job board. Write the role, then put the person on a pack they can finish.

1. Name the territory they will own and the one vendor on that turf.
2. Write the posting in the job description tool. Do not invent earnings on this page.
3. Screen for people who will log the door, including when nobody answers.
4. Hand them a pack they can finish. Onboarding does not block knocks.
5. Put the first sale on the same desk as the visit, in review.

## The packet can stay open while they knock

A hire who cannot knock until every form is signed is a hire you are paying to wait. My Onboarding stays until Completed. Onboarding does not block knocks. A contest can still require finished onboarding. The map does not.

| Moment | What stays open | What you do not do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| My Onboarding | It stays until Completed | Onboarding does not block knocks |
| The pack | Turf they can finish | A shared list with no owner |
| The deal | The sale sits in review on the same desk | A promise of what they will earn |
| A contest | Eligibility can require finished onboarding | A locked map until the packet is done |

## The first sale needs a place to sit

The hire is real when the first sale has a place to sit. The deal card shows a sale in review beside a name. It is not a paycheck and not a listing. Book a walkthrough and bring the role you are about to post.
