# Read contacts over knocks on one turf

A door to door contact rate by industry is not stated publicly for solar, pest, roofing, fiber, or insurance. Knockdesk is field sales software. Contact rate is contacts divided by knocks on the turf you name. Knockdesk does not publish a national knock dataset, and this page does not fill a percent for any industry.

## How a manager reads contacts over knocks

Pick one turf and stay on it. Contact rate for that turf is the contacts you logged there divided by the knocks you logged there. Do Not Contact pins stay off the knock list and do not count toward coverage, so they are not knocks in that division. The quotient belongs to that turf. It is not a door to door contact rate by industry.

1. Name the turf. Solar, pest, roofing, fiber, and insurance each need their own turf if you run more than one.
2. Count contacts logged on that turf.
3. Count knocks logged on that turf.
4. Divide contacts by knocks. That quotient is the contact rate for that turf.
5. Leave Do Not Contact pins off the knock list. They do not count toward coverage.
6. Leave the industry cell as not stated publicly. Do not write a percent this page did not publish.

## The desk counts your log, not an industry rate

Metric cards on the desk can show knocks, appointments, and recorded talks you logged. Contact rate is still contacts divided by knocks on one turf. A count on a card is not a door to door contact rate by industry. The national number for solar, pest, roofing, fiber, and insurance is not stated publicly.
