how many doors should you knock a day
Set the day from the turf you already assigned
How many doors should you knock a day is the weekly visit target on the turf, split across the days you actually work that pack, with Not Home still counted as a visit. Knockdesk is field sales software for that number, and this how-to sits under the door to door sales pillar on the guides hub, next to field sales kpis.

Field sales KPIsThe metrics a manager reads after the knock, including pace against the turf.
- 1Put one owner on the territory and cut turf a person can finish.
- 2Set a weekly visit target on that turf, or leave it blank if you do not want a pace read.
- 3Count every visit that lands on the pin, including Not Home. Leave Do Not Contact and Invalid Address out of coverage.
- 4Split the weekly target across the days you actually work that turf. A 100 target on 5 days is 20 visits a day if the split is even. That is a worked example, not a customer week.
- 5Read behind, on track, or ahead against that target. Recompute when the pack still sits open.
The number
How many doors to knock per day is a split, not a slogan
How many doors to knock per day is not a number you copy from a pep talk. It is the weekly visit target on the assigned turf, divided by the days that person works that pack, with every logged visit counting. If Not Home never hits the pin, the daily number is a vanity count and the turf still looks unfinished.
The turf
One pack, one owner. Two lists on the same doors will invent two daily numbers.
The visit
Not Home still saves and still counts as coverage. Do Not Contact and Invalid Address do not.
The pace
On track starts at 90 percent of the weekly target. Ahead starts at 110 percent. Half the target in 7 days is behind.
The misses
Mistakes that inflate the day and starve the turf
The miss is picking a daily number from memory, then skipping Not Home so the contact rate looks high. Coverage dies. The calculator on this site is for the split. This page is the rule you bring to it.
| Mistake | What you think you got | What Friday holds |
|---|---|---|
| A slogan number | A hard day | No tie to the weekly visit target |
| Skipping Not Home | A high contact rate | Turf that still looks open |
| Counting DNC as coverage | A finished pack | Doors you cannot legally work |
| Two owners on one pack | Two tallies | The same household twice |
