# Door to door sales laws for the visit you log Knockdesk is field sales software for teams that sell in person. Door to door sales laws on this hub are the permit, the consent rule, the cooling-off window, and the state pages a manager opens before the crew hits a new city. This page is general information, not legal advice. The table is the map of those topics, not a ruling. ## Door to door salesman laws stall when the visit is a chat Door to door salesman laws do not help a Friday if the permit, the pin, and the recording live in three places. Door to door solicitation laws are city work. Door to door sales regulations are the national pages plus the state pages below. Knockdesk keeps the visit on the address so the manager can see what was logged. **The permit.** A city license is not a national card. The solicitor page points at state pages instead of inventing one permit. **The recording.** In-person consent can differ from a phone rule. The consent page holds that table. **The cancel.** The cooling-off page covers the three-day window. The legality page answers whether the knock itself is legal. ## Start with the topic, then open the state These national pages own the head terms.
