Door-to-door salesmen

[mgbcs 10+ year member]

Alright, so I know everyone hates door-to-door sales, but I have to generate some business somehow. This is for a landscaping company, and in this case snow removal. My question is this: what makes you the least angry, and most likely to use the company's services?

Flyers on mailboxes

Flyer with individual estimate on door

Door-to-door knocking

As an added - if anyone has techniques that have been effective for them, what are they?

Knock on door would piss me off the most. Mailbox would be the least harmless I think

I'd leave a flyer on the door. I get them all the time for landscaping. Just paid one 550 for them to resprinkler my backyard.

I used to hate people coming to my door. I would say make a flyer explaining what you're offering and give the range of price and put it in the mailbox. The people that will be interested in your services will keep the flyer or call for more info. The ones that arent can toss it. If you showed up at my door while i was eating dinner of sleeping as i do different hours than many, i would be pissed and not use your company even if i needed it

Maybe do it like a good drug dealer. Wait for that snow to pile up, hit them up once with the plow for free and maybe they'll start paying for your services.

Honestly the people that "hate" when people come to their door are a-holes in my book. I work overnight and when people come to my door trying to sell something I usually just don't answer the door or if I do I just tell them I'm not interested. I understand they're just trying to make a living so I don't see any reason to be mad at them. Unless they keep knocking repeatedly and won't take no for an answer. But simply knocking once and asking if I'm interested is no big deal to me.
