The first week for a door-to-door rep
How a new canvasser learns turf, the script, knock logging, a short route, and their own counts in the first week.
- Field ops
- D2D CRM
- Knock logging
A new rep fails when the zone, the words, and the disposition buttons are all new on Monday morning. Split the week. The manager's sequence is how to run a door-to-door sales team.
Five days
- Walk a zone that is already drawn. Territory mapping shows the boundary and the pins. The rep learns the edge of the turf before they choose doors.
- Learn the door-to-door sales script. Five beats, said out loud, before they knock alone.
- Shadow a rep and log the knock themselves. The new hire taps the disposition. Watching is not practice.
- Run a short route alone. Today's route on the phone, a few streets, then back. The app is the mobile field workflow.
- Read their own counts with the manager. Use how to measure door-to-door sales: knocks, contacts, appointments, closes, and which conversion they mean.
Callbacks from that first route go through how to follow up after a door knock. The workspace those steps use is the door-to-door operations workspace.
