Solar canvassing workflow on BetterKnocks
How a solar door-to-door crew runs a week on BetterKnocks: turf assignment, knock logging, sit-downs, and manager standup.
This playbook follows a common solar D2D pattern: setters knock neighborhoods, book sit-downs, closers run appointments. Names are illustrative; the workflow matches how Elite solar teams configure the product.
Monday: turf and list
- Manager draws three zones in a suburb and assigns one to each setter crew.
- Last season's CSV is imported; duplicates on address are merged.
- Pin types distinguish not home, sit-down scheduled, and hard no.
Tuesday through Friday: field
- Setters open today's route on mobile and knock in order.
- Sit-down disposition creates a lead stage change and drops a pin.
- Appointments land on the shared calendar for closers.
- Manager checks team performance at lunch: knocks and sit-down rate by zone.
Evening standup
Territory map shows which streets were actually walked. Reps who cherry-picked easy blocks are obvious from pin density. Closers only drive to leads with a logged sit-down, not a text thread.
Results teams track
- Knocks per setter per day
- Sit-down conversion by zone
- Closes tied to the original knock rep via lead history
- API export to the closer CRM if HQ requires it
