The Power of Door-to-Door Marketing
Door-to-door marketing can be a game-changer for your business. This method creates direct, personal interactions with potential customers, making it easier to build rapport and close sales on the spot.
The Winning Sales Script
Here's the script and strategy you need to start converting door-to-door interactions into revenue:
Initial Approach
When you walk up to a potential customer, start with a friendly introduction:
- "Hi, we're working for some neighbors up the street. When was the last time you had your gutters cleaned?"
This question prompts the customer to think about their needs and opens the door for a free quote.
Offering the Quote
Once you've engaged the customer, offer a free quote:
- "Are you open to getting a quote while we're here? It’ll only take a couple of minutes."
Most people will agree, especially if they've been considering the service.
Closing the Deal
After inspecting the property, present your quote clearly and confidently:
- "For your house, you're looking at $140 per level, so that's $280 total for gutter cleaning."
Always state the price first, then list all the services included. This method helps the customer focus on the value rather than just the cost.
Real-Life Examples
Let's break down two successful examples from TikTok:
-
Customer Already Outside:
- Approach the customer casually.
- Build rapport by mentioning work in the neighborhood.
- Offer a free quote on the spot.
- Present the price and services confidently.
- Secure a commitment by asking if they’d like to schedule the service.
-
Customer at the Door:
- Knock and introduce yourself, mentioning neighborhood work.
- Notice something specific (e.g., dirty siding) to pique their interest.
- Offer a quick, free quote.
