# Siding sales software for the deposit and the install

You need siding sales software when the rep sells curb appeal or a storm replacement and pay depends on the install. Knockdesk is field sales software for the visit. It does not show material visualizers or weather maps, and it does not promise storm-damage results.

## How siding crews sell

Siding door to door sales walks the elevation, takes a color choice the rep makes with the homeowner, and collects a deposit. A siding sales app has to keep the HOA neighborhood on a turf the crew can finish.

**Curb appeal.** A planned upgrade. The visit logs the choice, not a rendered wall.

**Storm replacement.** The crew may be there after weather. The desk does not claim damage or a covered repair.

**Color.** The rep and the homeowner pick it. Knockdesk does not visualize the product.

## Problems managers run into

A siding canvassing app fails when the deposit is in and the install week has no owner on the turf.

**HOA hold.** The neighborhood cannot be knocked the way the next block can. The turf has to show that.

**Deposit, no install.** Money moved and the start never became a follow-up.

**Weather story.** A forecast in a group chat is not a visit log, and Knockdesk has no weather map.

**Two colors, one pin.** The choice changed and the original visit does not say so.

## How Knockdesk is set up for this crew

Name outcomes for quoted, deposit, HOA pending, install set, and install paid. Outcome stages are configured by a manager, not applied as a preset. Draw the territory, cut turf, one vendor on the pack, and import addresses by CSV or Excel. Full desk is on the pricing page. A free trial is not open.

| Piece | What the manager does |
| --- | --- |
| Outcomes | Add those labels. Follow-up holds the install week. |
| Territory and turf | Cut HOA blocks as their own turf so a hold does not hide inside a giant pack. |
| Vendor | One siding vendor. Confirmation uses that saved rate. |
| Color | Write the choice in the visit note. There is no visualizer. |
| Full desk | Full desk is on the pricing page. |

## Coach the elevation conversation

Consent before the file. Skip Recording still logs the outcome. Paste into Coach. Scoring remains opening, rapport, discovery, presentation, objections, and close. Nothing is imported.

1. Ask what they dislike about the current wall, without promising a storm payout.
2. Walk the elevations. Color choice stays a conversation, not a software render.
3. State the deposit and the install week, and put both on the deal.
4. Recap that install pay waits on your confirmation rule.

## A Team battle for install week

Team battle fits two crews racing installs that were confirmed, not deposits that might fall off. An admin or sales manager posts the prize and makes it live. Onboarding does not block knocks. Eligibility can still require it.

**Teams.** Two crews, confirmed installs, one week.

**Not weather.** The battle counts logged installs. It does not read a radar.

**Formats.** Also Sprint, Marathon, Head to head, Custom Team Challenge, Territory War, Survivor, Achievement race, and Bracket. Territory War is admin-only.

## Commissions, vendors, and install pay

Confirm when the install is the payable event. A falloff after the deposit is a void if that pay should reverse. Rate order is vendor, then organization default, then empty.

| Job | What Knockdesk does |
| --- | --- |
| Vendor rate | The rate at confirmation is the vendor rate saved for that moment. |
| Organization default | Only if that vendor has no rate. If both are missing, the amount stays empty. |
| No invented rate | Nothing is filled in from memory. |
| Void | A reversal is the existing amount times negative one. |
| Dispute | The ledger stays until confirm or void. |

## Compliance in an HOA neighborhood

This is general information, not legal advice. The walkthrough shows how the visit is logged.

**HOA.** Approval is the company's step. Mark the turf so the crew does not treat a hold as open pins.

**Storm work.** Do not log a promise that insurance will pay. Knockdesk has no claims desk.

**Recording.** Ask at the door. A no still saves the outcome without a file.

**Do Not Contact.** Those pins stay off the list and do not count toward coverage.
