# A canvassing script you can say, then log every door

A canvassing script is what to say when canvassing assigned turf, from who you are to the close, with every door logged including Not Home. Knockdesk is field sales software. This canvassing script example is also a canvassing script template. Copy the lines. Paste them into Coach. The product does not import a file from this page.

## A canvassing script example mapped to Coach

Coach scores opening, rapport, discovery, presentation, objections, and close. Say the compliance line before those six. The table is the same canvassing script as the PDF, with the reason each line exists on the visit.

| Coach step | Say this | Why this line |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Opening | I am canvassing this block for [offer]. I will keep this short and I will log whatever you decide. | You already named the company. Opening is the job of this knock, not a speech. |
| Rapport | I have already hit a few doors on this turf. How long have you been in the house? | One honest question. You are on turf you hold, not a hidden list. |
| Discovery | What are you using now? Is this a bad time, or do you have two minutes? | If it is a bad time, log a window. Do not skip the door. |
| Presentation | Here is the offer in one minute. Here is the price. I will not invent a special. | One minute. A real price. No invented discount. |
| Objections | If you are not interested I will log that and leave. If you want a card I will leave one and write a follow-up on this address. | A closed door is still a visit. The next loop should not guess. |
| Close | If yes, I write it on this pin today. If no, the next person on this loop should not knock you again. | Yes writes the deal on this address. No still logs. |

## A canvassing script template you can shorten

Keep the compliance line and the log. Change the offer. What to say when canvassing a Not Home door is still a log, not a pitch you save for later. These rows are the same template with the extra talk cut.

| Door | Say this | Do not drop |
| --- | --- | --- |
| They opened | I am canvassing this block for [offer]. I will keep this short and I will log whatever you decide. | Who you are, then the offer name. |
| Not Home | Log Not Home on this pin before you walk to the next one. | The visit. Coverage still counts. |
| Two minutes | What are you using now? Here is the offer in one minute. Here is the price. | A real price. No invented special. |
| They already know the company | I have already hit a few doors on this turf. How long have you been in the house? | Still name who you are before rapport. |
| They want a card only | I will leave a card and write a follow-up on this address. | The follow-up on the pin, not in a pocket. |

## Name who you are, then the recording

Say this first: Hi, I am [name] with [company]. I am walking this turf today. If I record this visit I will say so first. If they say no to the file, skip the recording and still log the visit. A canvassing script that hides the company is not this page.

**Who you are.** Name and company, on this turf today. Do not start from a hidden list.

**The recording.** If you record, say so before the file starts. They can refuse the file.

**The visit still logs.** A no to recording is not a skip of the door. The outcome still goes on the pin.

## The script dies when it is not on the visit

A printed canvassing script in a pocket does not score the talk. A photo in a chat does not stop the next person from knocking the same pin. Friday then coaches a version nobody said.

**Two scripts.** The porch uses last week's lines. Coach still holds the old draft. The score is noise.

**The door that vanished.** A clean close that never hit the address looks like an open door on the next loop.

**Not Home with no pin.** If empty houses never log, the turf looks unfinished and gets recut.
