hey what's up guys it's Sam Taggart with
Dedede experts in DD decon and I'm gonna
go for the 10 tips for anybody getting
into door-to-door and the first one is
realized door-to-door is awesome it is
one of the best vehicles you could ever
get into and has changed hundreds and
thousands of people's lives and they
wouldn't be where they're at today
without door to door I mean this goes
back two generations ago and people such
as Sara Blakely Paul DiGiorgio and Mark
Cuban and all these guys that have
really gone on to do some successful
things all started here indoor lower
sales because you learned the grit and
the grind and the sales skills it takes
to really be successful in life the
second tip is really simple it's become
a hunter versus a scavenger now a lot of
society jobs they're actually very
scavenger esque what I mean by that is
the hunters are out there you know going
out creating things creating business
creating opportunities and the
scavengers are kind of there to pick it
up they're kind of there to put it in
places they're kind of they're picking
up the scraps door-to-door gives you the
prime opportunity to become a hunter the
third tip it simply accept the challenge
of door-to-door like you have to be able
to say this is gonna be hard this is
gonna not this is gonna test me in all
elements physically mentally emotionally
you're gonna have to travel maybe you're
gonna have to deal with rejection
there's so many things you deal with in
this job except is it a challenge say I
like doing hard things I want to be
uncomfortable the fourth tip is welcome
rejection if you welcome rejection as if
it's going to happen there's a quote by
Bernie Brown that in order to create you
got to be vulnerable in order to go be
vulnerable you got to be willing to fail
you've got to be willing to accept this
rejection number five this is a sport
not a job now a lot of people obviously
do this to make money but the reality is
you're gonna just make enough to survive
and door to door just like any other job
because that's what your training your
brain to do but if you want to compete
and actually thrive and make more money
than you probably ever made in your life
you got to treat it like a sport go out
to compete every day
stop looking at the paychecks because if
you're competing and throwing in numbers
you're gonna have healthy paychecks
number six you have to have an hourly
mindset versus just a commission mindset
the common problem that people get into
when they get into a commission based
job or toward a door is they tend to
live paycheck to paycheck which means
deal to deal they buy things like oh
that's just like one sale I'll buy that
they will sell a lot and then they won't
work for a week and then they'll be
broke again they'll sell a lot they
won't work for a week they'll be broke
again and they go through this
salesmanship rollercoaster is what we
call it so the reality is if you can
treat this even though you're paid by
the Commission if you can treat it like
an hourly job meaning no matter what I
work these desired hours no matter what
whether I sold zero that day or I sold
fifty that day it doesn't matter I stick
to the schedule even though I'm paid
based on the deal so if you have the
mindset if I work the hours no matter
what it promised would be a lot more
successful than those that go on the
salesmanship rollercoaster number seven
excuses don't make you money now I hear
every excuse in the book it's hot it's
cold I'm hungry I need to a bad area out
on the car I don't have this deal
cancelled whatever I hear every excuse
I've heard it all it doesn't make you
any money therefore if you don't take
extreme ownership you're always going to
be broke in this job take ownership of
your results because the reality as long
as you have a product to be delivered
you could go make money now I've seen
people sell in every type of
neighborhood and every type of product
and every type of situation and those
that have the hunter mentality say screw
the excuses I'm gonna figure it out but
so many people just want to make some
excuse of why they're failing and why
they can't make money in this job but
the reality is I could give you a
hundred examples right now of people
making money in your industry in your
market in this job so stop making
excuses
number eight have a five-year vision a
five-year plan and what I mean by this
is so many people do this job as a
temporary thing I'm gonna do this job
through college and then get a real a
job I'm gonna do this for like a couple
until I'm trying to figure out in my
life don't do that you're you're gonna
piss poor results you're gonna you're
gonna get a subpar outcome plan is if
you're gonna do this for at least five
years and you're like jeez Sam that
might be a long time like I know that's
like I don't to commit that long maybe
you don't commit that long but I promise
the decisions you'll be making today
will be different if you're knowing
you're gonna do this for five years
versus just temporary you're gonna treat
it like a profession you're gonna grow
as a leader take it a lot more serious
find a way to contribute and add value
to the company you're in treat as if
this is a career not just a temporary
thing because I take pride in knocking
doors and I'm proud to say I'm a
professional
door knocker number nine integrity so
many people think you have to be sleazy
to sell a lot of accounts I've been a
top individual and I feel like I've done
it very honorably now you don't have to
follow maybe your managers teaching your
saying something that you're like wow I
don't really agree with that first seek
to say like why the heck do you say that
instead can't be like if you don't align
don't say it there's a lot of ways to
sell a deal you don't have to do it
exactly the way that everybody else does
it you can find ways to actually be a
very effective salesperson and do it
with integrity integrity also means when
you say you're gonna do something do it
that means if I'm like my goal this year
is to do a hundred I'm going to do a
hundred I commit to doing this do it if
you're like hey I commit to this company
for six months I sign a contract I'm
going out with you do it don't be the
guy that just because of like his weak
mindset doesn't live up to his word if
you say you're gonna do something do it
and lastly number ten enjoy the journey
this job doesn't just have insta-results
so many people because of our millennial
mindset in our instant phone you can
google it instead of encyclopedia so
many people because you have a microwave
and fast food and all this stuff we
think we can zap things and just be good
the reality is is this is no new like
this is a new this is a muscle this is
like something like a profession
violinist athlete anything else they
didn't just overnight be amazing at this
some people practice their craft and
that's why they're so good at this
is because they put in the 10,000 hour
rule they found that they have to go
through the grind and you can't
accelerate that there's no substitute
for journey practice longevity training
