I'm gonna drop some knowledge from my younger days as one of these guys, and why I hated doing it. The goal is, make the sale or make it so they never talk to the company again. It was considered a "badge of honor" to have someone call in and complain about how rude you were. The boss WANTED that to happen, but told the people on the phone you were fired, while apologizing, and , yup, offering the same products/services at a discount to make up for it as a last chance to close the sale. The sad thing is, if you look at the sales data on it all, it works to a degree that is just dumb. So yes, this is how door to door works and it works very well. I lasted 2 weeks doing this type of thing. I just didn't have that mean in me to handle it.
This is the thing, I've wanted to start a cleaning service like this for a while but I don't want to sell door to door as it's a shitty thing to do. The only other alternative is flyers I guess.
Having been a door-to-door salesperson (even worse, for a PG&E program) at 19 years old out of desperation, the way it works is so heinous. They encourage you to be so unbelievably aggressive with it, I didn’t last two full months. When I was out with my “mentor” at that job, I had an old woman literally spit at me and tell me to fuck off, and when I started to walk away, my mentor was like “wyd? Your pitch isn’t over!” Like YES IT IS
Dam why do so many ppls door to door jobs seem so ass😂. My d2d job is the complete opposite of what people are saying their experiences are like lol. I love this job and Intake pride in being good at sales
A door-to-door salesmen that pulls a gun, then asks "see how you were so unprepared? You wouldn't be if you had _product_ ." is a pretty strong concept lol
I’m in sales and one of the first things we learned is to never make yourself the center of attention. Try to get the client to understand that they can benefit from your service, not that they can benefit from you. Guys like him are why people hate salespersons.
Truee. Usually d2d salesmen get a bad name cos of how common people dont take their job seriously. I work through appco and their rules are very strict. What everyone else has claimed about their bad job is the complete of what appco says to do
@@XavierPersuades is appco still commission only i worked for a related company 4 years ago and ik back then all companies in that sphere basically operated on scamming their employees
The fact that companies still force employees to subject themselves to essentially being clowns for hire, to harass regular people who literally will never want them to be there and will never want their product, is beyond me.
Pssst….I have a secret..If no one accepts horrible jobs, the horrible jobs change into better jobs so employers actually have people willing to work. If people are willing to work horrible jobs, why would an employer make a single change?
@@pb9927Lol. Just a millennial who figured out the trap and wants to show people how to take their power back. If it wasn’t so comfy in mommy’s basement you would actually believe in your capabilities and try harder.
@@pb9927I bet you think tipping cashiers is a good thing! You don’t realize tipping only makes worker conditions worse. It purely incentives employers to pay less per hour because you get tips!
@@pb9927 but they're right... about one thing - people will always be willing to work horrible jobs, that's why shitty companies still have people working for them
I hated being a door to door salesman. Some homeowners would tell me no but my boss would tell me to go back and try to convince them even though they already said no. 😑
@OfficerBMTliking your own comment twice is just a whole new level of self meat riding that’s way too inappropriate for TH-cam. You should just do what your mom does and make videos for the hub instead.
which is how you know tay zonday's comment is absolute bullshit nobody is buying from someone who leans away from the mic to breathe and nobody who looks and acts like tay zonday has ever been somewhere actually poor and high-crime
i always thought every door to door salesman was supposed to be super charismatic when I was younger and even up to recently as I’ve never seen one irl but man this guy really broke that illusion.
That's because door-to-door salesmen are the lowest of the low when it comes how charismatic they are. They often can't sell shit. Anyone with any real people skills in selling bullshit is a professional lobbyist. Who in the right mind buys some random thing, just because it presented to you in a 5 minute pitch, for something you didn't even think about 10 minutes ago, and had no research on it?
my dad did door to door sales in the UK, my takeaway from the experiences he's told me about is that middle class neighbourhoods were the most likely to close a deal with but the lower class neighbourhoods were the most friendly and most likely to offer you to come in for a cuppa or a beer
I was a door-to-door salesman for ONE day. When I got home from my first shift I broke up in tears and ended up quitting before my second ever shift. I am not built for the public humiliation and mental strain of delivering some guilt-tripping act for hours and hours on end. I raised money for charity and was instructed to make people feel guilty for not providing for the people in Ukraine, when in reality about 70% of what they’d donate goes to me and my boss’s salary. I do not want an entire neighborhood in my own hometown to associate my face with “that annoying” salesman”.
I feel you, working on the streets for Red Cross trying to get anyone to pay us monthly was hell too. It's literally manipulating people, I felt so disgusting
It's your brain telling you it's wrong because it is. Most people who are successful in direct sales are manipulative and lack integrity. Now there's exceptions if you're genuinely selling a good product you put effort into and respect boundaries. But that is obviously not the majority.
As a much younger man, I used to collect, door to door, for Cancer Research. And that was from people who had already subscribed and committed to handing over £1 per month (back in the 1980’s, when £1 could buy you a whole pack of cigarettes or a pint of beer). And that was unpleasant enough an experience to put me off humans generally. So I feel for you, my friend. Hope your life is better now? This guy that Charlie is talking about though, his website and Tic Tok seem to be fair game to me. Charlie usually says, “Don’t!” go and tell these people what you think of them on their channels, but this HAS TO BE the exception! The whole basis of his schtick is based on invading people’s personal space and ruining their days. I hope an army of DM’s crush him until he stops and thinks about what he’s doing with his life.
We had a massive issue in my apartment building with door to door salesman, except they were scammers. They knew that the apartment building had one specific electric company. So that utilized that to Target people. They would dress up and pretend they are from the electric company there to give them "a discount if they can get their account number." iSolarr
I'm starting to feel like the best way to drive away door to door salesmen is to pitch _them_ some random product before they can get to theirs, the absolute shock and confusion might stunlock them long enough to beat even a high level salesman, and if it doesn't work first try you'll have a very entertaining 15min boss fight of sales pitches.
I want to believe he's somewhat self aware and keeps posting his failures because he realized people enjoy watching those for some twisted reason. Monetized schadenfreude basically.
Living in America as a foreigner, I always just pretended like I don't understand the salesman, and talk like I'm still learning the language. You can see them giving up very quickly once they realize they're wasting their time, not yours. Or maybe the ones I met were just nice fellas.
Your like my mum, pretending she's to dumb to use fast forward on the remote just so I'll do it. Or every chinese person trying to bring through dodgy food through border security.
@@blakeariusong. Or those ppl tht come in and say they dk how to send emails where i work. And theyre tops 30 smn. And some r elderly with grnadkids who cldve taught them. Or ive taught them before. But u guyses situations r def funny* at least
I KNEW IT 😂😂😂😂😂 I sell door to door and i’m as always wondering how people don’t know english after living here. So i just demonstrate what i do now and speak very simple english. it’s good to know that now i just look like an idiot 😂
My sister was approached by a salesperson, and at some point he supposedly went on for a while about how much she's wasting his time and how he'd make more money without her. Needless to say she never bought a damn thing, nor ever cared for the company again. I don't know how this is supposed to be effective.
Yeah this is usually my approach with any sort of sales person who's too stubborn to take no for an answer. I indulge them and really make it seem like I'm interested, then hit them with the "I have no interest to buy anything from you, sorry" after they've wasted 15 mins on me.
I heard they're sometimes rude on purpose so the people get upset and call the company later that apologizes and says the respective employee has been fired and then offer you a discount on their products.
@@SearchingVagabond-h4q Yeah. Initial prices are always marked up like crazy. Then they'll just apologise and seemingly appeal to you by offering a discount. Some people will bite then because they either did have some vested interest in the product/service or they might feel guilty and make the purchase, etc. What you can do then is to negotiate further with the guy to get even more discounts, then proceed to tell them you'll think about it some more. Same with scammers, the best way to deal with sales people is to waste their time because time = money. They'll know not to call you again after that.
if i owned my own place and i had salespeople knock my door, im going to be kind enough to open it and see what they are selling to see if i would actually want to look into it and see if i want to buy it. i'll look at their websites, ill ask questions, look into the products and go from there. i think what customers our selves tend to not do that we realistically should give some people the time of day for as door to door sales pitchers is, to give them a chance to explain the product because u dont no what they are trying to sell to u and it could actually be a really good product and something u would like to buy or keep returning to. not all companies for sales pitching jobs are bad and will return if you bought the item to give u deals and discounts on their products when uve bought one which is decent because not all of them do and most fake their prices. take whatever wifi connection u have bought and are on. when u buy the wifi thing and have it installed, u tend to get deals and discounts for certain things and extensions which are extremely cheap. i had this deal with sky in which i had 3 months free of protecting 3 devices in my home which if broken or needed replacing as long as it wasnt by our own hands, would be replaced for free or we would be given the money on how much the market price of it currently costs. after that, the next month would be at half the normal price for this extension b4 finally going back its normal price in which u can cancel at any point in time. i currently still have this extension however im needing to cancel it i just dont no how to get around with contacting them and getting it sorted as i was setting it up while i was tryna get to work at the same time. so idk alot of what was said and what the T&C's of it were because the guy on the phone was scottish and the phone i was ringing it on was very quiet and would have consistant issues making it hard to understand. my only issue with it but ill be able to sort it out.
@@SearchingVagabond-h4qYeah, that usually goes “I am so sorry to hear that Salesman was so disrespectful to you. He was fired the other day, so we’d like to offer you our ‘special discount’…” Probably is extremely effective. You’re getting a “discount” about thing they advertised, so people think they’re getting a deal when they’re getting scammed
The worst thing is when door to door salesmen make things difficult, I had a guy try to tell me that he 'wasn't trying to sell me anything' lol. I ended up just shutting the door on his face.
Yeah, I usually just don’t answer the door. I am a woman who works from home, so the whole concept of a man coming to my door and me OPENING it for him is completely out of the question. Plus, there are so many stories of “fake” sales people that come to stake out neighborhoods that I think the concept itself is dangerous. I don’t need anyone noting cars in the drive way, unlocked gates, and taking notes of nice equipment and technology….
@@ryanstevens4477then you gotta say that about all salesmen. Yes, there are certainly snakes but they were plenty of us who take ethics and respect to a higher standard. Our team fed the hungry every month and anyone who were caught lying were instantly canned. Outlier office but still. BS breeds a BS culture/office . Highstandarda breeds the ultimate team that homeowners respect more so than average
My great grandfather was a door to door salesman in the 50s (it was more popular back then). He’d sell things people actually needed, and it was a convenience when he’d come to their door selling furniture instead of them having to go out and get it. He was white selling in a black community which was very segregated, and he’d always bring candy for the children, remember names, and hang out even when he’d have nothing to sell. He was very well liked there and respected. This is definitely not that
i heard that back in the day salesman really knew how to talk, Charisma 100 Speech 100 type of persuasion, they know how to greet their client with a small talk that makes people feel comfortable, like when they say it's a pleasure to meet you, you can mean it when you say "the pleasure's all mine", i guess the art of successful Door to door salesman is just lost art
Because your gandpa was an actual sales person. He probably knew his products very well and knew how to consult on them, increase the value for the same price. That’s how they did it before the internet and some of them were amazing at marketing at sales processes without even knowing it. Treating people with respect, for example goes a very long way.
True, its very rare to meet someone like that deez days as most are desperate to make a sale to sustain themselves from the soaring food and energy prices.
I always wonder why people answer the door to people they don't know. When I'm home I want to be left alone, if I'm not expecting company or a delivery I'm not answering the door. I'm not paranoid or anything, I just wanna be left in peace
Yeah, if youre not expecting company, 99% of the time its people you have no interest in talking to. Once in a blue moon its someone you know just stopping by randomly but most of the time its salesmen or religious fanatics.
Imagine it’s an emergency going on and someone’s like “I didn’t know who it was so I didn’t answer next thing I know everything I owned and loved is burnt to a crisp” 😂😂😂
As a kid we had a salesman come to our door, and I accidentally answered it since I expected my brother to be coming home from a high school event he had. Upon seeing the random guy on my step, I got so anxious and stunned I slammed the door in his face before he could say a single word. I then ran to my mom and cried because the idea of talking to strangers stressed me out so much (and still does).
I didn't think door to door salesmen still existed. In the early 2000's i had a job trying to sell like $2000 vaccums door to door. They'd drop us off in a neighborhood, assign us blocks then give us a meeting spot and time to go back. It was about a mile from my house so after about 6 doors slammed in my face and a bit of humiliation, i left the vaccum on someone's lawn and walked home feeling slightly defeated lol. Shortest job i think I've ever had.
I hooked up with a chick who was going door to door selling kerbee vacuums. I told her to stop by after her route if she wanted a drink or two afterwards lmao
I was bamboozled into being a door to door sales woman when I was a teenager (I desperately needed more money). The owner of the company was an Ahole. To be honest, it is super embarrassing asking people for money / to buy product. People were always (understandably) rude and hateful. This should not be a profession for real 😭
It honestly depends how you sell for real. This job is harder than most which is why most don’t do it and it gets a lot of hate. Selling doesn’t have to be a ahole type of thing. i’ve never had a complaint and people that claim to hate salesman end up giving me fat tips, referring me to family/ friends, and following me on my social medias to keep in touch with how i am. This guy is just confident because he knows that if someone is upset with him, he’ll just get the next house for $300 and blow the last guy off. He is a millionaire doing this so it must work to some degree.
Think about. You're trespassing on someone's property, disturbing them, and then demanding they give you their time and money for a shit product they don't need.
I knew someone who was a childhood friend that ended up like this guy. Worst part is that its not even an act for the sales pitch, even me and our close friend group became just another potential sale for him….as much we tried to get him to separate work from us he wouldn’t so we all eventually just had to stop talking to him
As a person that did door to door for almost 9 years I can defiantly 100% say that people like this DO NOT speak for all of us! We are not all rude like this. Most door to door guys are very polite and do their job very professionally, it just sucks to have this much negative connotations about us because it's really not what door to door marketing is all about. It's not always all about "making the sale that day" or that minute... most of the time people knocking doors are just trying to set appointments, one thing I was taught is that absolutely nobody likes to be SOLD anything, people just like to be informed and make a decision completely on their own.
Amen brother. Glad you’re one of the good ones. You make my job easier. Even if I don’t make the sale I want to leave people better than I found them and restore integrity back to the industry.
I dont want people at my house dude. It's inherently rude to just come up at my house and try to sell shit. I dont judge you because you got to make a living but damn the job IS rude.
I've had one door to door salesman come to my house in my entire life. He was very nice, not pushy at all, and sold me very reasonably priced cleaner concentrate I still use years later that was only $20 It was kinda fun honestly.
LOL, I had the same thing first year I got my house. Dude came up wanting to sell some cleaner. I was new to this, so just bought it so he'd leave. 99% sure his was a scam, but if you got something real, that's cool!
I’ve done very well for myself as a door to door salesman, with very few bad interactions. It’s all about being respectful of people who aren’t interested and not being an ass. We’re not all bad I swear.
Yeah Charlie has no idea how sales work. You don’t use a script because you see people as less than human, you use it to keep yourself on track and in control of the conversation. Besides, people would be surprised at how similar and almost identical most interactions are despite the script
At least he's not getting screamed at! His charm in his script keeps people from getting outright pissed so it makes his life a lot happier@@TezTheAztec
@@TezTheAztecI do see your point alltough I feel like in my experience some bad apples I worked with do use the script they have and can't really see the person they are talking to. So it doesent come off as dynamic and more like a robot reading it to a wall.
NPC script is the worst. I did door to door before. If the product or service sucks, there is no way to sell. The key is to find the one who can be benefited, and make the process as painless as possible.
Nah man. An actual GOOD door to door salesman needs to have a decent ability to improv. Your approach needs to differ depending on the person. This dude and his weird pickup like-esque script is just bad. You can't make the customer feel odd about your interaction the moment they open the door. Sure he may get some sales but he would do a hell of a lot better without the NPC script.
I once had a job as the salesman. Was nervous about it, but the branch manager hyped me up. I hated it, absolutely hated it. The money I earned felt gross and other times it felt like I was working for free...which I was. When my branch manager started suggesting lying to close deals, I dipped.
I’m a salesman - you gotta respect the “No”. Trying to force the sale only hurts you long term. It would be much better to say, “ Would you be interested in me checking in next year to gauge interest?” Most people say yes, which means you have a cell phone and a requested follow-up. Then, next year you call and say, “We spoke last year - it wasn’t a good time then, but you asked me to call and set this up in a year. What do you think?”
A moral salesman sure. But 99% of the time your never going to uphold a lead to the importance it should be. I'd rather make $200 THAT day and have a few more no's thrown in my face than have a 2% chance at following up months later.
@@system331 the thing with sales: situations change year after year. I’ve found that many people who give you a “No” one year are interested in a free quote the next year. The most important thing for me is to always establish a next step (like, reaching out next year). If they agree to a next step (most do), then I reference that when I reach out again: “You asked me to reach out in a year to get you a free quote.” That almost always lands the quote. The question is, are you playing the long game or the short game. I’ve found more success and better relationships playing the long game. As for how I manage all those contacts, I use a prospect management system (Pipedrive), which holds info, tracks prospect progress, and schedules next steps into my calendar.
@@enzime that’s not how I see it. If they agree to a follow-up, then a follow-up they shall have. If they say no, I respect. However, most people like that I honor their answer straight up - much preferred to being pushy. If they say no this year, I think it’s perfectly reasonable for me to say, “I understand and won’t take up much more of your time this year. Would it be alright if I checked in next year just like I did today?” In my opinion, that’s being very courteous. This works for me - if something else works for you, I say go for it. I’m just not a fan of burning bridges (which is what the gentleman in the video is doing). Like I said, if you’re in sales and doing something different works, don’t let me stop you. Enjoy the success!
I was a door-to-door salesman, and I think I can unravel this mystery. It is possible he's a very successful door-to-door salesman My closing rate was about 5%, but that is still above average. I know that sounds low, but Charlie said it, nobody likes door-to-door salesman. The best in the business usually never come close to closing one out of 10 pitches, so you just have to get used to failing more often than not, there is no way around it. As to why he's choosing to display his failures, more than his successes, I think it's just more entertaining. He wouldn't have a successful online presence otherwise, it just brings in more people.
Probably the most sensible comment here. It makes sense, I don’t get why people act like him using similar lines to people is something new to sales. When I sold gym memberships at planet fitness our pitch was given to us verbatim for on the phone or in person. And the only thing that changed was Sir/Ma’am. The interpersonal sales shit is usually at the end near closing and not in the first beginning and middle
Yeah, been in door to door for a year. I've literally sold window washing. Easiest way to make $250-500 in a day. It's like gambiling but the results are guaranteed. Just keep knocking, be funny, and don't get the cops called on you, and you'll get deals. Pretty full proof.
@phoenixb5787 most people here don't understand it. They don't understand sales and have worked for a bad company. This is working for yourself and offering a home service, that's all and it works. I've only knocked 4 homes and sold 2
@@MBSMythicno bro he's not just getting told no and leaving he's insulting them and their intelligence after they say no. This is either a prank or he's a horrible salesman 😂. The fact you can't see that is weird
I use to sell internet/tv as a door to door and legit tried to help customers who wanted the service. We had a script but a lot of time I built rapport and cared for the people I talked to. Mainly because I knew they probably got a lot of other salesman trying to shove stuff into their faces and I understood the frustration. I’m glad Im in a better job now but I can’t say door to door didn’t teach me confidence and how to talk to complete strangers. You learn there are still a lot of good people in the world.
Had door to door electric company pretending to work for the electric company saying it would be cheaper. Turns out it costed 3x that amount and some third party that sells electric to that company. Told him he can't be on the private property unless he got permission from the landlord. Walked him 200m to the office. No one was there of course. He continued anyway. He didn't care if I told him the truth and to find a better job. They will have different people by next year anyway.
Don't know why there would need to be a door to door salesman for internet/TV when TV stations have existed for almost 100 years. And today, it's very territorial. Even if another company stopped at my door, it wouldn't be available because the large corporation has a monopoly in the area.
I had a pair come to the house. I was in my garage/wood shop at the time. I told them I wasn’t interested but they tried to persist so I said “you can keep talking but I’m not going to hear it” in a friendly tone and I continued to make my cuts with the chop saw. I glanced over and saw them look at each other and smile. It was probably one of the most unique interactions they’ve had.
This is pretty different, but I helped my sisters sell girl scout cookies a year or two ago and man... its brutal. People just arent ready for the cookie wisdom.
At least girl scouts have to charm to them. It's kids, who doesn't want to support kids who are actually putting in work... This guy is just lame. His pitch is bad , his prices are high. No redeeming qualities
Girl scout cookies generally fly pretty fast--I wouldn't say that's a real-world sales experience, just like selling lemonade at a lemonade stand when you're 8 isn't the same as owning a business. People buy these things to support the kids and feel good about themselves for the rest of the day, not because they wanted to buy overpriced cookies or lemonade.
the few times I went with my sisters to sell girl scout cookies, we sold out so damn fast, everyone wanted them. Girl scout cookies are delicious, and how many people can say no to a little kid?
I am a real estate agent and a huge part of the way i get clients is going door to door, if you arent a dickhead and respect peoples boundaries when they really arent interested, youll do good and most people will be pleasant, theres a lot of benefits to it, you get over your fear of social interactions, you get better at starting conversations, you learn how to read body language, you gain confidence during social interactions, you learn how to handle rejection, and more. It does actually work if you do it right. its not about convincing someone to buy a product or service, its about finding someone who already needs said product/service and handling any objections they might have, for example, if someone tells me they arent interested in buying or selling a home at all, then i move on, but if someone mentions that they'd like to but they're waiting for interest rates to drop, then i handle that objection and keep talking and moving forward. If youre kind and considerate and you know what youre doing, you really won't have a bad time.
I wanna see a DtD salesman knock on the door of a con artist and get roped into buying something for their job that they don’t need. That’d be some real SpongeBob type shit I’d like to see

@@jennzifurwait a second, challenge them? You can't just leave us with that and not tell the whole story, what would he challenge them to? how did he even do it?!
No one likes feeling like they are being sold to. People are sold to all the time, but when we catch on, it feels particularly scummy. That's why when a salesman comes up to you and starts making small talk, and being all charming, it immediately sets off red flags that say "this guy is just trying to butter me up for a sale".
you get sold to everyday. like watching this video. at the end of the day we’re all consumers. you got suckered into watching this video just off of a few worlds in a title and a picture. Moist has a good two for entertaining videos but at the end of the day it’s his income and a product he has to sell to us the viewers to make his money. everyone gets sold to. some are just better than others
My first job interview for "marketing" ended up being door to door. Day 1 was going with someone who had worked showing you the gift of the gab, the "law of averages" in which on 100 doors you will get 3 sales. There were 3 other young people (18) who where really sold on how much you could earn, all I saw was you could have days where you earn nothing.
SAME BRO SAME. Did they also did the gumball analogy for you with "If you have 986 red balls and 4 green ones you need to twist the gumball 100 times to get all the greens" like broooo
Dang I actually just recently left my D2D salesman job and I couldn’t imagine treating people like this. Yeah some people are mad when answering the door but 99% of the time they’re very respectful if you are to them.
"Ms. Palmer down the street..." is a common gimmick that D2D salesmen do to try and trick you into thinking that other people in the neighborhood are buying your product, but 9/10 is just a flat out lie to try and trick you into buying the product or service. They taught me that at my D2D job and other companies teach it too. I always hated using that boilerplate pitch cause I always felt like I was lying to the customer. My boss did not like it when I told him that I didn't like lying to the customer.
I only use that if I actually talked to the person I mentioned. Normally when I got to a new area (since I worked for a company who sold security cameras/alarm systems) I'd find the people with our sign outside talk to them for a bit and ask about their neighbors. If I could I'd get a post from them on an app called "Nextdoor" which basically let's the neighborhood know I'm in the area
I work in a form of door to door. The second someone says no, I’m out. If they have a no soliciting sign, I won’t even bother. Never understood why these people keep going when the person clearly wants you gone
Yeah I understand why people don't like salesmen coming to their homes. But when I was one, man did I hate people who would just be like "we don't want any" without even knowing why I'm there or had those stupid "no salesmen" signs
@@mind-of-neosome people do these jobs themselves, or have friends/contacts who do it for them, many people just contact people as and when they need work doing, so why should they have to be harassed at their door by salesmen? You can’t hate people for wanting nothing to do with people who bother them on their own property lol.
I knocked on so many doors with no soliciting signs. I personally never had a single bad experience from it. I started to wonder why people even had them. The occasional "did you not see the sign?" which was really easy to brush off. "Oh, my apologies I actually hadn't seen it. My names..." I'm a pretty small blonde guy though so I don't look very intimidating to say the least.

I was a door to door salesman for a summer. If you have a real product that stands on its own, anyone can do it, it just comes down to consistently knocking on doors. You have to be able to handle rejection like it's nothing though, which is easier said than done. I had people react to me in extreme ways simply for knocking on their doors. Had the cops called a few times too.
If you're gonna go promote this kind of service (window cleaning, pressure washing, etc.) you're better off leaving leaflets. That way you don't have to go through this awkward rigamarole and you leave them with your contact information which they can use at any time if they want your service.
I've seen some videos from a guy that does yard work on abandoned houses for free, which he asks the neighbors about and tells them what he's doing. Much more likely to gain customers with that sort of tactic.
I've worked for guys who did door to door and leaflets, and door to door is far superior. Everyone says they hate door to door sales people, but the numbers don't lie. Some people will never buy from a door to door sales person but a lot of those people would probably never buy from a leaflet as well.
Spoken like someone who has zero idea what they're talking about and has never tried it. How many leaflets that are stuck under your door do you look at before throwing away?
A dude came to my house offering pest services and he actually went with the "have you seen the good looking guys in the blue shirts" approach. I laughed him off the porch.
I once had a job with the Census where I had to go to addresses where either the occupants didn't submit their forms for the decade or it got lost in the mail or the like. The job is pretty much a script they made for anyone to use but you might be surprised how often I've approached a household and, while most were quite nice, even friendlier than I expected for such a task and how it can be taken, some people I kid you not looked at me like I was a G Man. They were hostile and refused to cooperate with me but it was like they were afraid of me or something. Their barking was usually behind a screen door or running back into their house with a look of panicked fear. I just am putting numbers on some paper for a population tracker and they can refuse to answer what they don't feel like. Looking back, I wouldn't be surprised if I'd have gotten assaulted or worse, haha.
What sucks is people like the guy Charlie is talking about make Census taker's jobs infinitely harder. People assume you're a salesman when you're just trying to collect information that helps the government function properly
I left health insurance sales to be a high school custodian. At first felt like a big step down in life and it was scary, I definitely make less money. But God being a salesperson, especially over the phone, was just soul crushing. If anyone else is out there thinking of leaving sales, DO IT! Best decision I've ever made, 1,000% happier.
Can't speak on insurance sales but i worked in cell phone sales for about 3 years and top performers(top 10%) earned roughly 90K after their 10K bonus. The average was about 55-60K though. That being said it was the most mentally draining thing i've ever had to do, you're being micro-managed constantly, are told to offer to the customer 3 times and after the third no you are supposed to go to the back to get a manager involved. Managers refused to help with customer escalations and billing disputes. You're basically told to lie to people, and exaggerate the truth so far that people often forget or are confused as to what is going on. It's great money especially just starting out, but man is it toxic.
Basically it’s person to person as far as your experience with the person knocking. The reason he pushes is to build up the muscle of his brain thinking of solutions for customer objections and trying to overcome them in any way he can. Even though it leads to some wild interactions.. the shit works and it’s really fun once you get good at communicating and building value in your product but remaining realistic if someone pushes you off. I know I’m not afraid to set appointments because I can build good rapport with people and find out if they’re an actual buyer before I even think about coming back. It’s all about effort and organization after you’ve built trust and value for your customer. People buy from people they like though.
So I did something similar for a Credico company, except it was selling internet in Walmarts. The turnover rate for the company was absurd, and basically the only reason anyone stayed was because of emotional manipulation. We were "independent contractors", so we didn't get any benefits or minimum wage despite working over 75 hours a week. Some people (like my roommates) literally just made nothing some weeks. Here's the schedule I worked when living in Tampa: Monday - Saturday -- 7:30 am arrive at office in Tampa for leaders' meeting and interviews -- 10:00 am atmosphere (basically just drilling people on their sales pitches as loud music blared. usually ended with managers hyping people up/announcing the previous day's "high-rollers"). -- 11:00 am driving out to the events, which were always at Walmarts. I'd often times have to drive as far as Lakeland, Palmetto, and even Bradenton, and no one *ever* helped with fuel expenses -- ~7:30-8 pm arrive back at office to set goals with whoever I trained that day, have them meet with the main manager etc. 8:30 pm was the earliest I ever got out of there. It was basically a sales cult, and I'm extremely embarrassed to have moved halfway across the country for it
I did door to door sales once cos I was desperate for work. I shadowed a guy 2 hours and when he wasn’t looking I just left and never did it again. Every single salesman that worked for the company was so cringe. I was like no, not for me…
What did you end up doing instead if you don't mind me asking? I just gave up on door to door sales recently and am looking for something else to get into, but I don't have much experience beyond sales
I spent some time shadowing a few dtd salesmen a little while ago and i remember them saying one of their rules was that 1 no isnt enough, you need to get at least 3 nos before walking away, what was funny was seeing people get progressively more and more aggressive each time they said no, but these guys stuck with it anyway, its a strange thing to witness first hand 😂
my moms go-to’s for salesmen was always “oh my husband is actually a (painter, electrician, etc)”. if it was an actual thing she could potentially need in the future/good price she would inform them she’s a realtor so she knows market price and has someone she’s used for 15+ years, but if they’re looking like retiring soon she’ll shoot them a call. those normally gets the young guys that are looking for a quick buck gone quick.
I’m a salesman and there’s many property’s you need to live by to be a good one. 1: go for the no, 2: only try to fix their pain if you can’t fix their pain tell them and stop selling. Never be pushy and you’ll win loads.
So there's some interesting legal arguments to be made here. You don't need consent to film in public as in public there's no expectation to privacy. Since this is someone's home and property you do need consent to film HOWEVER since it seems they're filming from the street and everything visible in the video is visible from the street, they may be able to get by.
@@Haarschmuckfachgeschafttadpole Ya but YT has a privacy policy and will make you blur out faces if they complain.I’d assume tiktok has something similar.
As a former salesman....if you really are akward, and want me to go away. Just say this if you wanna be nice. "Hey (man/lady/they) I understand, your not doing anything wrong, it's your job but I will not buy anything from you today please don't take it personal. It won't happen have your boss come if he blames you." I kid you not it will leave the salesperson feeling understood, you don't have to feel akward and the boss has to accept it wasn't ever a "opportunity".
I am a door to door storm restoration salesman. It's a needed service in my state where storms happen often and insurance often underpays or denies their insured clients. When I first started I was trained to close on first contact at any cost and I hated how I was treating people and how people treated me. Now that I'm seasoned and successful most of my deals take at least 2 visits to close. I listen to people to see if they could use my services and have productive conversations with them to help them get their most valuable asset fixed. My relationships with my clients are almost friendships. Seeing how this guy interacts with people makes me cringe. I don't know how anyone would take him seriously.
Our house has a "beware of dog" and a "no solicitors" sign on our front gate, but boy, that doesn't stop people sometimes. We got a huge dog and some jackass still walked up to the front step and tried to sell us something, meanwhile my parents had to keep our dog from getting out and mauling him. Even the prospect of big guard animals isn't enough to deter a potential sale!
You rarely get pitched bc of ur sign so most ballsy salesman will knock anyway. Me personally I respect the no soliciting signs even if I genuinely believe we’re both missing out. -solar sales rep
I remember in college when I was desperate to get a job on my resume, I almost joined a company that was in this sort of business. Fortunately, before the second round of interviews I had post-nut clarity and decided to just take my chances on a job in my field of expertise
I almost can't even comprehend the level of psychopathy that comes from this type of interaction. Just imagine having someone try to sell you something, even if it wasn't at your door, and their response to your rejection is, "Are you kidding, check out how hot and attractive I am!"
its not psychopathy. It's taking the subjects mind off of not wanting to pay for the service to buy time and off lead the conversation to a more rapport driven talk instead of a pitch. I's how you convert more people to give you money.
That’s so wrong on so many levels. that’s nothing like what he said 😂 “hello, have you seen me around here at all, the good looking guy in blue?” that’s such an important sentence for so many reasons. 1) it’s a funny joke that 99% of people would chuckle at. and it’s SUPPOSED to be corny. 2) it shows that you’ve been around here recently doing a bunch of neighbors and that shows your success and makes them want to trust you more. It’s a psychological game and you just have to use your brain to figure out the WHY of what he’s saying. Not the surface level “its just douchey and off putting saying stuff like that”
It's amazing seeing all the people trying to defend this guy as if they don't clearly have some sort of bias. No normal person would look at this and think it's good business, normal people think this guy's a douche. You can't watch these videos and actually be delusional enough to think he looks good in these. The videos make him look terrible, because he is terrible. If a guy came up to my door calling himself attractive, I'd slam it in his face
@@jakefromallstate6461 you are 100% wrong. More times than not, people would not even chuckle let alone laugh. Imagine opening the door to a stranger and then they say that, a majority of people would instantly be put off or creeped out. Its not corny or funny its flat out weird and the fact you think its funny to harass people like that says a lot about you. "It's a psychological game" , you realized how messed up that sounds right? like come on be better
@@threeaura2994 are you a salesman? probably not. you’re probably just giving your 2 cents on something you know little to nothing about like most people on here. it’s okay tho. you don’t realize that you’re getting psychologically taken advantage of while being on this app watching videos. it’s a bunch of useless information here on this app, especially this video. and you watched it and probably enjoyed it and are getting verbal in the comments because it affected you mentally. these videos are also products that creators have to package in a certain way so that you stay watching and they make money. this is also a psychological game you’re just not using your brain. one person makes a 10 minute video about someone ELSE’S life and the other person is knocking doors making money. they’re both weird. im a huge fan of moist critical too. his videos are great. been watching him for years now. but i’m also aware that everything is a product for sale. you are the consumer here. he just packaged it in a nice way so you make him more money
When my grannie was still alive she got scammed by people like this who convinced her she needed something done to the roof, they took the money moved some stuff around and fucked off basically. Was a nightmare for my parents
@@ASMRGRATITUDE I guess the strat is to get clout either negative or positive then try and sell something for real. I don't think Charlie gets tricked on these types of videos. Charlie is just making content and trying to teach a lesson.
i tried doing sales for a few months. offering signups for an electricity company in a department store. problem was im a nice person, and have a level of respect for others, so i would let people go all the time with no's, and when i could tell the particular plan we were offering wouldnt work i would let them know. i wasnt the one to push people when they said no, or push/manipulate them into signing up when i know it would be a worse plan. sadly these kind of jobs are designed to be very difficult if you dont use slimy, manipulative tactics and do a lot of uncomfortable pushing and it got to a point where i was making like 7 bucks an hour, so i gave it up and now just do retail where i can actually be cheerful to people and try my best to help them rather than feel like im secretly trying to hurt them. plus i get 15 an hour, with a promotion already in the works...
I wasted my whole summer in 2022 doing door to door for a solar company. That was easily my least favorite job I’ve ever had. I really wanted to make it work because the commissions were INSANE. A colleague made 19k in a single week in commission by closing 3 sales. But I just couldn’t. I couldn’t stand a job where I felt like i was bothering people around the times most get home from work and are trying to eat dinner. I’m also not really a confrontational person outside of joking around with friends, so I would essentially give up on the sales pitch the moment they told me they weren’t interested. People would get mad at me saying I was the 7th solar guy in the past month to knock on their door. I’d be sworn at, flipped off, even threatened once I couldn’t do it. Icing on the cake was I never closed a sale and since the company was only commission I didn’t make a dime the whole summer. It wasn’t for me as much as I was hoping it could be
My experience was kinda the same, only I quit the day after "training". I put that in quotation marks because I was told that I was going to be paid for the training, then later found out I wasn't and not only that, I was also told we were going to be local, and ended up having to go to a whole different city across the state and come back. The next day came, went back to the office, handed my uniform back to them and told them that while I appreciated the fact that they decided to bring me on board in the first place, I did not appreciate my time being wasted and then left.
@@anthonypena336 yeah man, they told me I’d have a week or two of training in the office but then they sent me by myself to knock on doors on my second day. I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. I only stayed with the company for as long as I did because the money potential was just ridiculous
heads up, the guy who made 19k was probably 'in on it' and didn't make that much at all. his job would be acting as a role model so you spend longer working a shit commission only gig thinking it'll pay off someday if only you got good at it. when i did it i figured out who were insiders. if you work at it long enough you can become a soulless insider lying to mostly young naive people often in vulnerable situations too.
My roommate had a door-to-door salesman walk up to him as he pulled in our driveway. He was selling pest control service and he worked off of a massive tablet and his phone at the same time. He also had some deformity that caused him to have no hands, just 2 fingers at the end of both of his short arms. 100+ degree weather. Needless to say we were impressed so we paid.
I’m gonna throw my own experience since i can chip in for once. I worked for ADT. The vibe the employees had showed high self insecurity. One guy called a nice lady who told us “no thank you” politely, a “fucking bitch” and I’ve heard on multiple occasions “i hope his/her house gets robbed hahahaha”. (Not in front of their faces of course, they are pussies) The meetings we had was them trying to teach us how to scam without saying scam. They would refer to people as stupid and ADT are the saviors that they need to protect them BLAH BLAH. Every training day was my worst social nightmare. I think that it caused me so much stress that i became a extrovert shortly after due to me seeing the worst of cringe for hours. One day we had someone like the old guy that said shoo, but he had way less patience. Multiple times my trainer was yelled at by the guy to leave him alone and he wouldn’t. My trainer would keep saying childish remarks like “but why?” “You don’t even know what I’m selling” “you gonna let me talk?!” I have no clue how these individuals exist. I was genuinely scared i was going to get beat up or shot because of their behavior (we mostly patrolled iffy neighborhoods)
u became an extrovert because of that stress 😂😂😂😂😂....what you experienced is basically my worst nightmare and i still feel traumatized from the one time i tried to so it (showing my dad's house which was up for rent to people)
I’ve been doing Door to door for 4 years, one of the hardest jobs I’ve ever had but the money is very lucrative and is a great way to get through college debt free
As a door to door salesman this guy has what they call ‘commission breath’. He clearly only wants the sale for himself but it door to door only works if you actually care about the customer. Dropping the price does nothing because he builds no value for his service and it’s unethical. Also this dude is way too pushy and clearly only wants to make a sale and doesn’t give a shit about helping people.
As someone thats done door to door its all about how many houses you hit and not wasting too much time on the people who clearly arent interested. If someone is interested or doesn't know how to ckose the door it becomes psychological pressure until they give in. Or fo something weasely and hope they dont cancel in the deadline to do so
I used to be a salesman and I quit after few months doing. I hated it! One thing to note about sales people is that there is always a script you have to follow and people can usually see past the bull#$% rather quickly. I remember doing sales pitches for Spectrum internet at Kroger and I would have to walk up to people directly and practically forced people to listen to some scripted, ungenuine pitch that not even I believed in. Secondly, If they are not in the mindset of buying something, then they are less likely to be closed on. Overall, I really don't envy anyone who does this for a living.
Ngl it is rude to shoo someone away or refuse something without knowing what it is, sales guy acted cocky too but most ppl need to get over their social anxiety about answering a door and talking to a stranger
If you've ever had a shitty sales job you know that even the creepy weirdos who are really good at it strike out all the time. 'Conversion rates' in these kind of jobs are almost always low. He probably doesn't really get a 50% conversion rate, but if he did, then it would be very high for the industry. If he didn't show himself getting rejected a lot, then it just wouldn't seem plausible for anyone doing similar jobs. Also, dealing with constant rejection is a key part of the job, and teaching people to be resilient when getting cursed out and shouted at isn't actually horrible guidance. Door-to-door sales is usually a horribly degrading and miserable job that nobody takes for any reason except financial desperation, and is an industry dependent on the exploitation of both its workers and its customers. It should probably be banned. But for someone trapped in that industry, these clips probably look much more like 'success' than they do to an outsider.
Doing door to door sales is the easiest most lucrative job I've ever had. The key to succeeding is the number of doors you knock and being nice to everyone who listens to your pitch regardless of whether they buy or don't
If you want sales , be honest , don't completely be upfront and always be humble and nice and if they say no , than you say its ok i understand, have a good day . Plain and simple.
I did door to door sales as well for a time in my earlier career. I think I managed to stick it out for 8 months, but its a very difficult job. They bank on the aggressive approach quite a bit. But not only that, the training involved in these kinds of jobs require them to be very persistent. Even in a manipulative degree. In the end, I have sympathy for door to door salesmen, even if they are a little unhinged. They face a lot of pressure to make multiple sales a day. They will even get written up if they don't. I get it, trust has been broken with salesmen and telemarketers these days. Plus nobody wants to be solicited on their doorstep anymore. I remember many rough days because its true, they are treated like dogs a lot. Its not a job for everybody. I had to brace myself emotionally with every knock that id be an outlet for their anger. The reality is it was my job to knock. If i didnt knock I would be out of a job. Glad I found something else. I even found a path into my dream career. I dont claim to know this fella, but I relate a lot with what I saw in this video. Just trying to be a fellow human and understand his situation.
I have no sympathy (at least not while they’re at my door) for someone who chooses to make money at the expense of others. A good job is one where both the customer and employee benefit, salesmen almost always seek to limit the information that the buyer has or manipulate them in some way that ends up making the exchange not beneficial for them. Obviously just my opinion, but I just hate this kind of work, and I think if it didn’t exist the world would be a much better place
@@BrocNerd Yeah, I mean I agree with you. At least with the fact it would be better if the profession died out. It's just better for everyone, including the ones working the job. But I just think we should still always try and have humility for others, even if we have disdain for what they do. I get it, I dont like people on my doorstep either trying to sell me. And im a guy who had been on the other side of the door. But I just make an effort to treat them like a human. Not every salesman is out to get you, even if it seems they are trying to. Probably because they are being pressured to. When I was a door to door salesman, I had no other job prospects. It was my only option, and the only offer I had on the table. For 8 months I couldn't get another job to hire me. Had a woman waiting for me at home every day to bring home the bacon to and what not. You can write about how much you hate them online all you want, but life is a lot more complicated then typing your comment into youtube.
@@BrocNerd I worked for charity fundraising, and you'd assume that it's the biggest rip off of "customers" (not really customers because they're not buying anything). But in fact (at least in Australia), people who donate can get a receipt, which they would be able to claim 100% tax return from the government. That means as long as you can live comfortably without the donating amount for maximum 1 year, you're really not losing anything. And that's all in the while you're actively making the world a better place. I get people may say you can invest that money, or maybe you really need that money right now - and I understand. But for the act of helping out others and probably make yourself feel better, you're losing very little. I tried informing everyone of this, because I believe it would be beneficial for all. In the end, it did very little in changing people's opinions.
Dude this is hilarious. I so badly want to believe it is satire all along 😂 But there definitely is an epidemic in these "shorts" and "reels" on social media of people posting their own worst moments thinking the court of public opinion will rule in their favour... then they just leave the video up when it takes off for the wrong reason and take the payout all the same 😂 Can't hate it I guess Bot alert!!
I do a telemarketing job. I can’t bring myself to pressure people and be pushy. I just straight up ask them if they’d be interested in the service or at least hearing about it and I get more traction that way I feel like, for me at least.
As a successful door to door sales person, Oliver’s techniques do work. Only 5% of people who open will actually buy, so it’s necessary to get really comfortable with no’s. Not everyone can handle rejection. 95 no’s and 5 sales is a ratio good ratio.
I used to be a door to door Kirby vacuum salesmen. One main thing people always hated was personal things brought up. I never did the stupid demonstration. I set it up and let the customer try it. If I was quick, nice, honest, said the fewest words, AND TOOK NO FOR AN ANSWER. It just worked out the best for both parties. I quit after abot two months.
Lol I got "hired" for Kirby once. Me, and everyone else in the class, quit during the orientation. By far the most scummy, unprofessional company i've ever seen in my life.
@@projectpunk706dude same they hired 6 ppl and within a week 4 of us left. They lied to us and said we didn’t have to do any knocking unless we were team leaders and promised us 10 appts for 650 but told us it was 15. Then I left for relocation purposes
I'm gonna drop some knowledge from my younger days as one of these guys, and why I hated doing it. The goal is, make the sale or make it so they never talk to the company again. It was considered a "badge of honor" to have someone call in and complain about how rude you were. The boss WANTED that to happen, but told the people on the phone you were fired, while apologizing, and , yup, offering the same products/services at a discount to make up for it as a last chance to close the sale. The sad thing is, if you look at the sales data on it all, it works to a degree that is just dumb. So yes, this is how door to door works and it works very well. I lasted 2 weeks doing this type of thing. I just didn't have that mean in me to handle it.

Having been a door-to-door salesperson (even worse, for a PG&E program) at 19 years old out of desperation, the way it works is so heinous. They encourage you to be so unbelievably aggressive with it, I didn’t last two full months. When I was out with my “mentor” at that job, I had an old woman literally spit at me and tell me to fuck off, and when I started to walk away, my mentor was like “wyd? Your pitch isn’t over!” Like YES IT IS

Oh I’m SO glad it wasn’t just me I thought I was tripping.
I was a door-to-door salesman for ONE day. When I got home from my first shift I broke up in tears and ended up quitting before my second ever shift. I am not built for the public humiliation and mental strain of delivering some guilt-tripping act for hours and hours on end. I raised money for charity and was instructed to make people feel guilty for not providing for the people in Ukraine, when in reality about 70% of what they’d donate goes to me and my boss’s salary. I do not want an entire neighborhood in my own hometown to associate my face with “that annoying” salesman”.
Good job! You did your thing hope you have a better job now
I feel you, working on the streets for Red Cross trying to get anyone to pay us monthly was hell too. It's literally manipulating people, I felt so disgusting
It's your brain telling you it's wrong because it is. Most people who are successful in direct sales are manipulative and lack integrity.
Now there's exceptions if you're genuinely selling a good product you put effort into and respect boundaries. But that is obviously not the majority.
As a much younger man, I used to collect, door to door, for Cancer Research. And that was from people who had already subscribed and committed to handing over £1 per month (back in the 1980’s, when £1 could buy you a whole pack of cigarettes or a pint of beer). And that was unpleasant enough an experience to put me off humans generally. So I feel for you, my friend. Hope your life is better now?
This guy that Charlie is talking about though, his website and Tic Tok seem to be fair game to me. Charlie usually says, “Don’t!” go and tell these people what you think of them on their channels, but this HAS TO BE the exception! The whole basis of his schtick is based on invading people’s personal space and ruining their days. I hope an army of DM’s crush him until he stops and thinks about what he’s doing with his life.
We had a massive issue in my apartment building with door to door salesman, except they were scammers. They knew that the apartment building had one specific electric company. So that utilized that to Target people. They would dress up and pretend they are from the electric company there to give them "a discount if they can get their account number." iSolarr
I'm starting to feel like the best way to drive away door to door salesmen is to pitch _them_ some random product before they can get to theirs, the absolute shock and confusion might stunlock them long enough to beat even a high level salesman, and if it doesn't work first try you'll have a very entertaining 15min boss fight of sales pitches.

@@SussyRobloxLord RE: "L + Ratio Im so much extremely better" What does that mean?
My sister was approached by a salesperson, and at some point he supposedly went on for a while about how much she's wasting his time and how he'd make more money without her. Needless to say she never bought a damn thing, nor ever cared for the company again. I don't know how this is supposed to be effective.
Yeah this is usually my approach with any sort of sales person who's too stubborn to take no for an answer. I indulge them and really make it seem like I'm interested, then hit them with the "I have no interest to buy anything from you, sorry" after they've wasted 15 mins on me.
I heard they're sometimes rude on purpose so the people get upset and call the company later that apologizes and says the respective employee has been fired and then offer you a discount on their products.
@@SearchingVagabond-h4q Yeah. Initial prices are always marked up like crazy. Then they'll just apologise and seemingly appeal to you by offering a discount. Some people will bite then because they either did have some vested interest in the product/service or they might feel guilty and make the purchase, etc. What you can do then is to negotiate further with the guy to get even more discounts, then proceed to tell them you'll think about it some more.
Same with scammers, the best way to deal with sales people is to waste their time because time = money. They'll know not to call you again after that.
if i owned my own place and i had salespeople knock my door, im going to be kind enough to open it and see what they are selling to see if i would actually want to look into it and see if i want to buy it. i'll look at their websites, ill ask questions, look into the products and go from there. i think what customers our selves tend to not do that we realistically should give some people the time of day for as door to door sales pitchers is, to give them a chance to explain the product because u dont no what they are trying to sell to u and it could actually be a really good product and something u would like to buy or keep returning to. not all companies for sales pitching jobs are bad and will return if you bought the item to give u deals and discounts on their products when uve bought one which is decent because not all of them do and most fake their prices.
take whatever wifi connection u have bought and are on. when u buy the wifi thing and have it installed, u tend to get deals and discounts for certain things and extensions which are extremely cheap. i had this deal with sky in which i had 3 months free of protecting 3 devices in my home which if broken or needed replacing as long as it wasnt by our own hands, would be replaced for free or we would be given the money on how much the market price of it currently costs. after that, the next month would be at half the normal price for this extension b4 finally going back its normal price in which u can cancel at any point in time. i currently still have this extension however im needing to cancel it i just dont no how to get around with contacting them and getting it sorted as i was setting it up while i was tryna get to work at the same time. so idk alot of what was said and what the T&C's of it were because the guy on the phone was scottish and the phone i was ringing it on was very quiet and would have consistant issues making it hard to understand. my only issue with it but ill be able to sort it out.
@@SearchingVagabond-h4qYeah, that usually goes “I am so sorry to hear that Salesman was so disrespectful to you. He was fired the other day, so we’d like to offer you our ‘special discount’…”
Probably is extremely effective. You’re getting a “discount” about thing they advertised, so people think they’re getting a deal when they’re getting scammed
The worst thing is when door to door salesmen make things difficult, I had a guy try to tell me that he 'wasn't trying to sell me anything' lol. I ended up just shutting the door on his face.
dosent sound very difficult, saved himself and you time lol
He wasntrying to buy
Yeah, I usually just don’t answer the door. I am a woman who works from home, so the whole concept of a man coming to my door and me OPENING it for him is completely out of the question.
Plus, there are so many stories of “fake” sales people that come to stake out neighborhoods that I think the concept itself is dangerous. I don’t need anyone noting cars in the drive way, unlocked gates, and taking notes of nice equipment and technology….

Highstandarda breeds the ultimate team that homeowners respect more so than average

Same. I was a door to door lawn care salesman and my entire time there, I made only 3 sales lol it sucks
My great grandfather was a door to door salesman in the 50s (it was more popular back then). He’d sell things people actually needed, and it was a convenience when he’d come to their door selling furniture instead of them having to go out and get it. He was white selling in a black community which was very segregated, and he’d always bring candy for the children, remember names, and hang out even when he’d have nothing to sell. He was very well liked there and respected. This is definitely not that
i heard that back in the day salesman really knew how to talk, Charisma 100 Speech 100 type of persuasion, they know how to greet their client with a small talk that makes people feel comfortable, like when they say it's a pleasure to meet you, you can mean it when you say "the pleasure's all mine", i guess the art of successful Door to door salesman is just lost art
That's a really sweet story, your great gramps sounded like an awesome guy
@@tiagobelo4965I agree.
Because your gandpa was an actual sales person. He probably knew his products very well and knew how to consult on them, increase the value for the same price. That’s how they did it before the internet and some of them were amazing at marketing at sales processes without even knowing it. Treating people with respect, for example goes a very long way.
True, its very rare to meet someone like that deez days as most are desperate to make a sale to sustain themselves from the soaring food and energy prices.
I always wonder why people answer the door to people they don't know. When I'm home I want to be left alone, if I'm not expecting company or a delivery I'm not answering the door. I'm not paranoid or anything, I just wanna be left in peace
My biggest fear is that someone might need help. I've had people knock on my door to let me know they ran over my mailbox or hit my fence. Etc.
Yeah, if youre not expecting company, 99% of the time its people you have no interest in talking to. Once in a blue moon its someone you know just stopping by randomly but most of the time its salesmen or religious fanatics.
In this day and age the only people who knock are sales people or people with bad intentions.
Imagine it’s an emergency going on and someone’s like “I didn’t know who it was so I didn’t answer next thing I know everything I owned and loved is burnt to a crisp” 😂😂😂
Dude fucking same, I dont even go if Im not expecting anything
As a kid we had a salesman come to our door, and I accidentally answered it since I expected my brother to be coming home from a high school event he had. Upon seeing the random guy on my step, I got so anxious and stunned I slammed the door in his face before he could say a single word. I then ran to my mom and cried because the idea of talking to strangers stressed me out so much (and still does).

I didn't think door to door salesmen still existed. In the early 2000's i had a job trying to sell like $2000 vaccums door to door. They'd drop us off in a neighborhood, assign us blocks then give us a meeting spot and time to go back. It was about a mile from my house so after about 6 doors slammed in my face and a bit of humiliation, i left the vaccum on someone's lawn and walked home feeling slightly defeated lol.

I was bamboozled into being a door to door sales woman when I was a teenager (I desperately needed more money). The owner of the company was an Ahole. To be honest, it is super embarrassing asking people for money / to buy product. People were always (understandably) rude and hateful. This should not be a profession for real 😭
It honestly depends how you sell for real. This job is harder than most which is why most don’t do it and it gets a lot of hate. Selling doesn’t have to be a ahole type of thing. i’ve never had a complaint and people that claim to hate salesman end up giving me fat tips, referring me to family/ friends, and following me on my social medias to keep in touch with how i am. This guy is just confident because he knows that if someone is upset with him, he’ll just get the next house for $300 and blow the last guy off. He is a millionaire doing this so it must work to some degree.
MOST salesman suck and are forced to be stuck up and pushy. it’s so sad

As a person that did door to door for almost 9 years I can defiantly 100% say that people like this DO NOT speak for all of us! We are not all rude like this. Most door to door guys are very polite and do their job very professionally, it just sucks to have this much negative connotations about us because it's really not what door to door marketing is all about. It's not always all about "making the sale that day" or that minute... most of the time people knocking doors are just trying to set appointments, one thing I was taught is that absolutely nobody likes to be SOLD anything, people just like to be informed and make a decision completely on their own.
Ik this is off topic but ur very pretty. Just sayin…
Finally, someone who gets it lol
Amen brother. Glad you’re one of the good ones. You make my job easier.
Even if I don’t make the sale I want to leave people better than I found them and restore integrity back to the industry.
9 years too long bro glad you came to your senses, but in all honesty good shit dude your mentally stronger than most to do that job for 9 years.
I dont want people at my house dude. It's inherently rude to just come up at my house and try to sell shit. I dont judge you because you got to make a living but damn the job IS rude.
I've had one door to door salesman come to my house in my entire life. He was very nice, not pushy at all, and sold me very reasonably priced cleaner concentrate I still use years later that was only $20
It was kinda fun honestly.
LOL, I had the same thing first year I got my house. Dude came up wanting to sell some cleaner. I was new to this, so just bought it so he'd leave. 99% sure his was a scam, but if you got something real, that's cool!
I’ve done very well for myself as a door to door salesman, with very few bad interactions. It’s all about being respectful of people who aren’t interested and not being an ass. We’re not all bad I swear.
Yeah Charlie has no idea how sales work. You don’t use a script because you see people as less than human, you use it to keep yourself on track and in control of the conversation.
Besides, people would be surprised at how similar and almost identical most interactions are despite the script
@MicheleKalina704as any profession
At least he's not getting screamed at! His charm in his script keeps people from getting outright pissed so it makes his life a lot happier@@TezTheAztec
You are right! If someone is respectful and actually sees the other person as a human then I got no problem with that.
@@TezTheAztecI do see your point alltough I feel like in my experience some bad apples I worked with do use the script they have and can't really see the person they are talking to. So it doesent come off as dynamic and more like a robot reading it to a wall.
As a previous door to door salesman, I get why you have this NPC script so that maybe it can stick to a customer eventually 😭
Yeah, its all a numbers game.
A good salesman goes off script for a bit and gets sales but doing just sales sucks.
NPC script is the worst. I did door to door before. If the product or service sucks, there is no way to sell. The key is to find the one who can be benefited, and make the process as painless as possible.
Not a good approach.. Everyone has a script but it should sound natural and organic
Nah man. An actual GOOD door to door salesman needs to have a decent ability to improv. Your approach needs to differ depending on the person. This dude and his weird pickup like-esque script is just bad. You can't make the customer feel odd about your interaction the moment they open the door. Sure he may get some sales but he would do a hell of a lot better without the NPC script.
I once had a job as the salesman. Was nervous about it, but the branch manager hyped me up. I hated it, absolutely hated it. The money I earned felt gross and other times it felt like I was working for free...which I was. When my branch manager started suggesting lying to close deals, I dipped.
I’m a salesman - you gotta respect the “No”. Trying to force the sale only hurts you long term. It would be much better to say, “ Would you be interested in me checking in next year to gauge interest?” Most people say yes, which means you have a cell phone and a requested follow-up. Then, next year you call and say, “We spoke last year - it wasn’t a good time then, but you asked me to call and set this up in a year. What do you think?”
A moral salesman sure. But 99% of the time your never going to uphold a lead to the importance it should be. I'd rather make $200 THAT day and have a few more no's thrown in my face than have a 2% chance at following up months later.
You keep a list of people to contact that you know that don’t want to talk to you? Do you hear how weird that sounds?
@@system331 the thing with sales: situations change year after year. I’ve found that many people who give you a “No” one year are interested in a free quote the next year. The most important thing for me is to always establish a next step (like, reaching out next year). If they agree to a next step (most do), then I reference that when I reach out again: “You asked me to reach out in a year to get you a free quote.” That almost always lands the quote. The question is, are you playing the long game or the short game. I’ve found more success and better relationships playing the long game.
As for how I manage all those contacts, I use a prospect management system (Pipedrive), which holds info, tracks prospect progress, and schedules next steps into my calendar.
You know they just want rid of you.. so you come back to be a pain in the ass again next year ??? 😂
@@enzime that’s not how I see it. If they agree to a follow-up, then a follow-up they shall have. If they say no, I respect. However, most people like that I honor their answer straight up - much preferred to being pushy. If they say no this year, I think it’s perfectly reasonable for me to say, “I understand and won’t take up much more of your time this year. Would it be alright if I checked in next year just like I did today?” In my opinion, that’s being very courteous. This works for me - if something else works for you, I say go for it. I’m just not a fan of burning bridges (which is what the gentleman in the video is doing).
Like I said, if you’re in sales and doing something different works, don’t let me stop you. Enjoy the success!
I was a door-to-door salesman, and I think I can unravel this mystery. It is possible he's a very successful door-to-door salesman My closing rate was about 5%, but that is still above average. I know that sounds low, but Charlie said it, nobody likes door-to-door salesman. The best in the business usually never come close to closing one out of 10 pitches, so you just have to get used to failing more often than not, there is no way around it. As to why he's choosing to display his failures, more than his successes, I think it's just more entertaining. He wouldn't have a successful online presence otherwise, it just brings in more people.
Probably the most sensible comment here. It makes sense, I don’t get why people act like him using similar lines to people is something new to sales. When I sold gym memberships at planet fitness our pitch was given to us verbatim for on the phone or in person. And the only thing that changed was Sir/Ma’am. The interpersonal sales shit is usually at the end near closing and not in the first beginning and middle
Yeah, been in door to door for a year. I've literally sold window washing. Easiest way to make $250-500 in a day. It's like gambiling but the results are guaranteed. Just keep knocking, be funny, and don't get the cops called on you, and you'll get deals. Pretty full proof.

Had door to door electric company pretending to work for the electric company saying it would be cheaper. Turns out it costed 3x that amount and some third party that sells electric to that company. Told him he can't be on the private property unless he got permission from the landlord. Walked him 200m to the office. No one was there of course. He continued anyway. He didn't care if I told him the truth and to find a better job. They will have different people by next year anyway.
Don't know why there would need to be a door to door salesman for internet/TV when TV stations have existed for almost 100 years. And today, it's very territorial. Even if another company stopped at my door, it wouldn't be available because the large corporation has a monopoly in the area.
I had a pair come to the house. I was in my garage/wood shop at the time. I told them I wasn’t interested but they tried to persist so I said “you can keep talking but I’m not going to hear it” in a friendly tone and I continued to make my cuts with the chop saw.
I glanced over and saw them look at each other and smile.
It was probably one of the most unique interactions they’ve had.

This guy is just lame. His pitch is bad , his prices are high. No redeeming qualities
Girl scout cookies generally fly pretty fast--I wouldn't say that's a real-world sales experience, just like selling lemonade at a lemonade stand when you're 8 isn't the same as owning a business. People buy these things to support the kids and feel good about themselves for the rest of the day, not because they wanted to buy overpriced cookies or lemonade.

I am a real estate agent and a huge part of the way i get clients is going door to door, if you arent a dickhead and respect peoples boundaries when they really arent interested, youll do good and most people will be pleasant, theres a lot of benefits to it, you get over your fear of social interactions, you get better at starting conversations, you learn how to read body language, you gain confidence during social interactions, you learn how to handle rejection, and more. It does actually work if you do it right. its not about convincing someone to buy a product or service, its about finding someone who already needs said product/service and handling any objections they might have, for example, if someone tells me they arent interested in buying or selling a home at all, then i move on, but if someone mentions that they'd like to but they're waiting for interest rates to drop, then i handle that objection and keep talking and moving forward. If youre kind and considerate and you know what youre doing, you really won't have a bad time.

No one likes feeling like they are being sold to. People are sold to all the time, but when we catch on, it feels particularly scummy. That's why when a salesman comes up to you and starts making small talk, and being all charming, it immediately sets off red flags that say "this guy is just trying to butter me up for a sale".
Yeah but when it works on 5-10 people a day out of hundreds. It's worth it.

My first job interview for "marketing" ended up being door to door. Day 1 was going with someone who had worked showing you the gift of the gab, the "law of averages" in which on 100 doors you will get 3 sales. There were 3 other young people (18) who where really sold on how much you could earn, all I saw was you could have days where you earn nothing.
well for every 100 people who decide not to work in d2d...

Do Solar, you make 5-10 k avg on every deal
Dang I actually just recently left my D2D salesman job and I couldn’t imagine treating people like this. Yeah some people are mad when answering the door but 99% of the time they’re very respectful if you are to them.
"Ms. Palmer down the street..." is a common gimmick that D2D salesmen do to try and trick you into thinking that other people in the neighborhood are buying your product, but 9/10 is just a flat out lie to try and trick you into buying the product or service. They taught me that at my D2D job and other companies teach it too. I always hated using that boilerplate pitch cause I always felt like I was lying to the customer. My boss did not like it when I told him that I didn't like lying to the customer.
I only use that if I actually talked to the person I mentioned. Normally when I got to a new area (since I worked for a company who sold security cameras/alarm systems) I'd find the people with our sign outside talk to them for a bit and ask about their neighbors. If I could I'd get a post from them on an app called "Nextdoor" which basically let's the neighborhood know I'm in the area
“If it’s worth doing tomorrow, it’s worth doing today 😡😡🤬” Absolutely vile
I work in a form of door to door. The second someone says no, I’m out. If they have a no soliciting sign, I won’t even bother. Never understood why these people keep going when the person clearly wants you gone
Yeah I understand why people don't like salesmen coming to their homes. But when I was one, man did I hate people who would just be like "we don't want any" without even knowing why I'm there or had those stupid "no salesmen" signs
@@mind-of-neosome people do these jobs themselves, or have friends/contacts who do it for them, many people just contact people as and when they need work doing, so why should they have to be harassed at their door by salesmen?

I knocked on so many doors with no soliciting signs. I personally never had a single bad experience from it. I started to wonder why people even had them. The occasional "did you not see the sign?" which was really easy to brush off. "Oh, my apologies I actually hadn't seen it. My names..."
I'm a pretty small blonde guy though so I don't look very intimidating to say the least.

I was a door to door salesman for a summer. If you have a real product that stands on its own, anyone can do it, it just comes down to consistently knocking on doors. You have to be able to handle rejection like it's nothing though, which is easier said than done. I had people react to me in extreme ways simply for knocking on their doors. Had the cops called a few times too.
If you're gonna go promote this kind of service (window cleaning, pressure washing, etc.) you're better off leaving leaflets. That way you don't have to go through this awkward rigamarole and you leave them with your contact information which they can use at any time if they want your service.
or, hear me out, have a booth that actually offers something WITH the leaflets, like maybe a free candy or a pen or something
I've seen some videos from a guy that does yard work on abandoned houses for free, which he asks the neighbors about and tells them what he's doing. Much more likely to gain customers with that sort of tactic.
I've worked for guys who did door to door and leaflets, and door to door is far superior. Everyone says they hate door to door sales people, but the numbers don't lie.
Some people will never buy from a door to door sales person but a lot of those people would probably never buy from a leaflet as well.
Spoken like someone who has zero idea what they're talking about and has never tried it. How many leaflets that are stuck under your door do you look at before throwing away?
@@cop5144I’m surprised he even suggested it. I barely look at any of them.

Door to door salesmen are a very real contender to 'most annoying 'job' around'.
I honestly forgot door to door salesmen existed.
Didn't ask Im so much better 😂😂😂😂
A dude came to my house offering pest services and he actually went with the "have you seen the good looking guys in the blue shirts" approach. I laughed him off the porch.
How'd you laugh them off..

I once had a job with the Census where I had to go to addresses where either the occupants didn't submit their forms for the decade or it got lost in the mail or the like. The job is pretty much a script they made for anyone to use but you might be surprised how often I've approached a household and, while most were quite nice, even friendlier than I expected for such a task and how it can be taken, some people I kid you not looked at me like I was a G Man. They were hostile and refused to cooperate with me but it was like they were afraid of me or something. Their barking was usually behind a screen door or running back into their house with a look of panicked fear. I just am putting numbers on some paper for a population tracker and they can refuse to answer what they don't feel like.
Looking back, I wouldn't be surprised if I'd have gotten assaulted or worse, haha.
Despite the census being immensely important to running things properly, it's not made easy for anyone for that upkeep.
What sucks is people like the guy Charlie is talking about make Census taker's jobs infinitely harder. People assume you're a salesman when you're just trying to collect information that helps the government function properly
I left health insurance sales to be a high school custodian. At first felt like a big step down in life and it was scary, I definitely make less money. But God being a salesperson, especially over the phone, was just soul crushing. If anyone else is out there thinking of leaving sales, DO IT! Best decision I've ever made, 1,000% happier.
left a job that makes u 100k a year to a job that makes you 30k. smart
@@mimical5407 definitely not nearly 100k a year pal 😂
@mimical5407 you new to numbers?
@@mimical5407Man you're part of the reason greed is so rampant these days.
Can't speak on insurance sales but i worked in cell phone sales for about 3 years and top performers(top 10%) earned roughly 90K after their 10K bonus. The average was about 55-60K though. That being said it was the most mentally draining thing i've ever had to do, you're being micro-managed constantly, are told to offer to the customer 3 times and after the third no you are supposed to go to the back to get a manager involved. Managers refused to help with customer escalations and billing disputes. You're basically told to lie to people, and exaggerate the truth so far that people often forget or are confused as to what is going on. It's great money especially just starting out, but man is it toxic.
Basically it’s person to person as far as your experience with the person knocking. The reason he pushes is to build up the muscle of his brain thinking of solutions for customer objections and trying to overcome them in any way he can. Even though it leads to some wild interactions.. the shit works and it’s really fun once you get good at communicating and building value in your product but remaining realistic if someone pushes you off. I know I’m not afraid to set appointments because I can build good rapport with people and find out if they’re an actual buyer before I even think about coming back. It’s all about effort and organization after you’ve built trust and value for your customer. People buy from people they like though.
So I did something similar for a Credico company, except it was selling internet in Walmarts. The turnover rate for the company was absurd, and basically the only reason anyone stayed was because of emotional manipulation. We were "independent contractors", so we didn't get any benefits or minimum wage despite working over 75 hours a week. Some people (like my roommates) literally just made nothing some weeks.
Here's the schedule I worked when living in Tampa: Monday - Saturday -- 7:30 am arrive at office in Tampa for leaders' meeting and interviews -- 10:00 am atmosphere (basically just drilling people on their sales pitches as loud music blared. usually ended with managers hyping people up/announcing the previous day's "high-rollers"). -- 11:00 am driving out to the events, which were always at Walmarts. I'd often times have to drive as far as Lakeland, Palmetto, and even Bradenton, and no one *ever* helped with fuel expenses -- ~7:30-8 pm arrive back at office to set goals with whoever I trained that day, have them meet with the main manager etc. 8:30 pm was the earliest I ever got out of there.
It was basically a sales cult, and I'm extremely embarrassed to have moved halfway across the country for it
Don't be. Be embarrassed for the people that stayed. Learn and move on my friend.
hey king, keep your head up, just be glad you left that nightmare
think about it charlie, if you know what not to do in every sale, you’ll become the perfect salesman
I did door to door sales once cos I was desperate for work. I shadowed a guy 2 hours and when he wasn’t looking I just left and never did it again. Every single salesman that worked for the company was so cringe. I was like no, not for me…
What did you end up doing instead if you don't mind me asking? I just gave up on door to door sales recently and am looking for something else to get into, but I don't have much experience beyond sales

I spent some time shadowing a few dtd salesmen a little while ago and i remember them saying one of their rules was that 1 no isnt enough, you need to get at least 3 nos before walking away, what was funny was seeing people get progressively more and more aggressive each time they said no, but these guys stuck with it anyway, its a strange thing to witness first hand 😂
How about a door in their face. That’s my usual strategy cuz you ain’t getting more than 1 no from me.
ok psycho? maybe dont show off your twisted hobbies on a public space?
@@eagleblaze02 maybe the door gives 2 points?
my moms go-to’s for salesmen was always “oh my husband is actually a (painter, electrician, etc)”. if it was an actual thing she could potentially need in the future/good price she would inform them she’s a realtor so she knows market price and has someone she’s used for 15+ years, but if they’re looking like retiring soon she’ll shoot them a call. those normally gets the young guys that are looking for a quick buck gone quick.
I’m a salesman and there’s many property’s you need to live by to be a good one. 1: go for the no, 2: only try to fix their pain if you can’t fix their pain tell them and stop selling. Never be pushy and you’ll win loads.
I'd be REALLY interested to know if he got consent to put these people's faces and homes in his videos.
So there's some interesting legal arguments to be made here.
You don't need consent to film in public as in public there's no expectation to privacy. Since this is someone's home and property you do need consent to film HOWEVER since it seems they're filming from the street and everything visible in the video is visible from the street, they may be able to get by.
@@Haarschmuckfachgeschafttadpole Ya but YT has a privacy policy and will make you blur out faces if they complain.I’d assume tiktok has something similar.

As a former salesman....if you really are akward, and want me to go away. Just say this if you wanna be nice. "Hey (man/lady/they) I understand, your not doing anything wrong, it's your job but I will not buy anything from you today please don't take it personal. It won't happen have your boss come if he blames you." I kid you not it will leave the salesperson feeling understood, you don't have to feel akward and the boss has to accept it wasn't ever a "opportunity".
I am a door to door storm restoration salesman. It's a needed service in my state where storms happen often and insurance often underpays or denies their insured clients. When I first started I was trained to close on first contact at any cost and I hated how I was treating people and how people treated me. Now that I'm seasoned and successful most of my deals take at least 2 visits to close. I listen to people to see if they could use my services and have productive conversations with them to help them get their most valuable asset fixed. My relationships with my clients are almost friendships. Seeing how this guy interacts with people makes me cringe. I don't know how anyone would take him seriously.
i’m starting d2d sales next week for a huge internet company, can you give me any advice?
Our house has a "beware of dog" and a "no solicitors" sign on our front gate, but boy, that doesn't stop people sometimes. We got a huge dog and some jackass still walked up to the front step and tried to sell us something, meanwhile my parents had to keep our dog from getting out and mauling him. Even the prospect of big guard animals isn't enough to deter a potential sale!
You rarely get pitched bc of ur sign so most ballsy salesman will knock anyway. Me personally I respect the no soliciting signs even if I genuinely believe we’re both missing out.

I remember in college when I was desperate to get a job on my resume, I almost joined a company that was in this sort of business. Fortunately, before the second round of interviews I had post-nut clarity and decided to just take my chances on a job in my field of expertise
I almost can't even comprehend the level of psychopathy that comes from this type of interaction. Just imagine having someone try to sell you something, even if it wasn't at your door, and their response to your rejection is, "Are you kidding, check out how hot and attractive I am!"
its not psychopathy. It's taking the subjects mind off of not wanting to pay for the service to buy time and off lead the conversation to a more rapport driven talk instead of a pitch. I's how you convert more people to give you money.
That’s so wrong on so many levels. that’s nothing like what he said 😂
“hello, have you seen me around here at all, the good looking guy in blue?”
that’s such an important sentence for so many reasons.
1) it’s a funny joke that 99% of people would chuckle at. and it’s SUPPOSED to be corny.
2) it shows that you’ve been around here recently doing a bunch of neighbors and that shows your success and makes them want to trust you more.
It’s a psychological game and you just have to use your brain to figure out the WHY of what he’s saying. Not the surface level “its just douchey and off putting saying stuff like that”
It's amazing seeing all the people trying to defend this guy as if they don't clearly have some sort of bias. No normal person would look at this and think it's good business, normal people think this guy's a douche. You can't watch these videos and actually be delusional enough to think he looks good in these. The videos make him look terrible, because he is terrible. If a guy came up to my door calling himself attractive, I'd slam it in his face
@@jakefromallstate6461 you are 100% wrong. More times than not, people would not even chuckle let alone laugh. Imagine opening the door to a stranger and then they say that, a majority of people would instantly be put off or creeped out. Its not corny or funny its flat out weird and the fact you think its funny to harass people like that says a lot about you. "It's a psychological game" , you realized how messed up that sounds right? like come on be better
@@threeaura2994 are you a salesman? probably not. you’re probably just giving your 2 cents on something you know little to nothing about like most people on here. it’s okay tho. you don’t realize that you’re getting psychologically taken advantage of while being on this app watching videos. it’s a bunch of useless information here on this app, especially this video. and you watched it and probably enjoyed it and are getting verbal in the comments because it affected you mentally. these videos are also products that creators have to package in a certain way so that you stay watching and they make money. this is also a psychological game you’re just not using your brain. one person makes a 10 minute video about someone ELSE’S life and the other person is knocking doors making money. they’re both weird. im a huge fan of moist critical too. his videos are great. been watching him for years now. but i’m also aware that everything is a product for sale. you are the consumer here. he just packaged it in a nice way so you make him more money
The salesmen most really think that they're the main character 💀💀💀
They really think their big shots, huh?
They are though
At least the guy shows it how it is. Most door sales fail.

i tried doing sales for a few months. offering signups for an electricity company in a department store.
problem was im a nice person, and have a level of respect for others, so i would let people go all the time with no's, and when i could tell the particular plan we were offering wouldnt work i would let them know.
i wasnt the one to push people when they said no, or push/manipulate them into signing up when i know it would be a worse plan.
sadly these kind of jobs are designed to be very difficult if you dont use slimy, manipulative tactics and do a lot of uncomfortable pushing and it got to a point where i was making like 7 bucks an hour, so i gave it up and now just do retail where i can actually be cheerful to people and try my best to help them rather than feel like im secretly trying to hurt them. plus i get 15 an hour, with a promotion already in the works...
I wasted my whole summer in 2022 doing door to door for a solar company. That was easily my least favorite job I’ve ever had.
I really wanted to make it work because the commissions were INSANE. A colleague made 19k in a single week in commission by closing 3 sales. But I just couldn’t. I couldn’t stand a job where I felt like i was bothering people around the times most get home from work and are trying to eat dinner. I’m also not really a confrontational person outside of joking around with friends, so I would essentially give up on the sales pitch the moment they told me they weren’t interested.
People would get mad at me saying I was the 7th solar guy in the past month to knock on their door. I’d be sworn at, flipped off, even threatened once I couldn’t do it.
Icing on the cake was I never closed a sale and since the company was only commission I didn’t make a dime the whole summer. It wasn’t for me as much as I was hoping it could be
My experience was kinda the same, only I quit the day after "training". I put that in quotation marks because I was told that I was going to be paid for the training, then later found out I wasn't and not only that, I was also told we were going to be local, and ended up having to go to a whole different city across the state and come back. The next day came, went back to the office, handed my uniform back to them and told them that while I appreciated the fact that they decided to bring me on board in the first place, I did not appreciate my time being wasted and then left.
@@anthonypena336 yeah man, they told me I’d have a week or two of training in the office but then they sent me by myself to knock on doors on my second day. I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. I only stayed with the company for as long as I did because the money potential was just ridiculous
heads up, the guy who made 19k was probably 'in on it' and didn't make that much at all. his job would be acting as a role model so you spend longer working a shit commission only gig thinking it'll pay off someday if only you got good at it. when i did it i figured out who were insiders. if you work at it long enough you can become a soulless insider lying to mostly young naive people often in vulnerable situations too.
I’m currently going through the same thing right now. I’m finishing up my second week and it’s brutal
My roommate had a door-to-door salesman walk up to him as he pulled in our driveway. He was selling pest control service and he worked off of a massive tablet and his phone at the same time. He also had some deformity that caused him to have no hands, just 2 fingers at the end of both of his short arms. 100+ degree weather. Needless to say we were impressed so we paid.
I do door to door pest control with my homie who's got Cerebral Palsy and he did great when he wasn't getting called names. Appreciate you bro
I’m gonna throw my own experience since i can chip in for once. I worked for ADT. The vibe the employees had showed high self insecurity. One guy called a nice lady who told us “no thank you” politely, a “fucking bitch” and I’ve heard on multiple occasions “i hope his/her house gets robbed hahahaha”. (Not in front of their faces of course, they are pussies)
The meetings we had was them trying to teach us how to scam without saying scam. They would refer to people as stupid and ADT are the saviors that they need to protect them BLAH BLAH.
Every training day was my worst social nightmare. I think that it caused me so much stress that i became a extrovert shortly after due to me seeing the worst of cringe for hours.
One day we had someone like the old guy that said shoo, but he had way less patience. Multiple times my trainer was yelled at by the guy to leave him alone and he wouldn’t. My trainer would keep saying childish remarks like “but why?” “You don’t even know what I’m selling” “you gonna let me talk?!”
I have no clue how these individuals exist. I was genuinely scared i was going to get beat up or shot because of their behavior (we mostly patrolled iffy neighborhoods)
u became an extrovert because of that stress 😂😂😂😂😂....what you experienced is basically my worst nightmare and i still feel traumatized from the one time i tried to so it (showing my dad's house which was up for rent to people)

As a door to door salesman this guy has what they call ‘commission breath’. He clearly only wants the sale for himself but it door to door only works if you actually care about the customer. Dropping the price does nothing because he builds no value for his service and it’s unethical. Also this dude is way too pushy and clearly only wants to make a sale and doesn’t give a shit about helping people.
As someone thats done door to door its all about how many houses you hit and not wasting too much time on the people who clearly arent interested. If someone is interested or doesn't know how to ckose the door it becomes psychological pressure until they give in. Or fo something weasely and hope they dont cancel in the deadline to do so
I used to be a salesman and I quit after few months doing. I hated it! One thing to note about sales people is that there is always a script you have to follow and people can usually see past the bull#$% rather quickly. I remember doing sales pitches for Spectrum internet at Kroger and I would have to walk up to people directly and practically forced people to listen to some scripted, ungenuine pitch that not even I believed in. Secondly, If they are not in the mindset of buying something, then they are less likely to be closed on. Overall, I really don't envy anyone who does this for a living.
Man it is one of the hardest things you can do. I hated it too. I'm trying to find what I can go into now that I've given up on sales
Kinda curious did you guys had routes or specific areas to advertise only ?
@@nabi-red it was specific areas. we would mostly do sales in either Krogers or Walmarts within 10-15 miles of our office building.
Ngl it is rude to shoo someone away or refuse something without knowing what it is, sales guy acted cocky too but most ppl need to get over their social anxiety about answering a door and talking to a stranger

If you've ever had a shitty sales job you know that even the creepy weirdos who are really good at it strike out all the time. 'Conversion rates' in these kind of jobs are almost always low. He probably doesn't really get a 50% conversion rate, but if he did, then it would be very high for the industry. If he didn't show himself getting rejected a lot, then it just wouldn't seem plausible for anyone doing similar jobs. Also, dealing with constant rejection is a key part of the job, and teaching people to be resilient when getting cursed out and shouted at isn't actually horrible guidance. Door-to-door sales is usually a horribly degrading and miserable job that nobody takes for any reason except financial desperation, and is an industry dependent on the exploitation of both its workers and its customers. It should probably be banned. But for someone trapped in that industry, these clips probably look much more like 'success' than they do to an outsider.
Doing door to door sales is the easiest most lucrative job I've ever had. The key to succeeding is the number of doors you knock and being nice to everyone who listens to your pitch regardless of whether they buy or don't
4:32 Is giving yourself a wedgie part of the steps in the program?
If you want sales , be honest , don't completely be upfront and always be humble and nice and if they say no , than you say its ok i understand, have a good day . Plain and simple.

I did door to door sales as well for a time in my earlier career. I think I managed to stick it out for 8 months, but its a very difficult job. They bank on the aggressive approach quite a bit. But not only that, the training involved in these kinds of jobs require them to be very persistent. Even in a manipulative degree. In the end, I have sympathy for door to door salesmen, even if they are a little unhinged. They face a lot of pressure to make multiple sales a day. They will even get written up if they don't. I get it, trust has been broken with salesmen and telemarketers these days. Plus nobody wants to be solicited on their doorstep anymore. I remember many rough days because its true, they are treated like dogs a lot. Its not a job for everybody. I had to brace myself emotionally with every knock that id be an outlet for their anger. The reality is it was my job to knock. If i didnt knock I would be out of a job. Glad I found something else. I even found a path into my dream career. I dont claim to know this fella, but I relate a lot with what I saw in this video. Just trying to be a fellow human and understand his situation.
I have no sympathy (at least not while they’re at my door) for someone who chooses to make money at the expense of others. A good job is one where both the customer and employee benefit, salesmen almost always seek to limit the information that the buyer has or manipulate them in some way that ends up making the exchange not beneficial for them. Obviously just my opinion, but I just hate this kind of work, and I think if it didn’t exist the world would be a much better place
@@BrocNerd Yeah, I mean I agree with you. At least with the fact it would be better if the profession died out. It's just better for everyone, including the ones working the job. But I just think we should still always try and have humility for others, even if we have disdain for what they do. I get it, I dont like people on my doorstep either trying to sell me. And im a guy who had been on the other side of the door. But I just make an effort to treat them like a human. Not every salesman is out to get you, even if it seems they are trying to. Probably because they are being pressured to. When I was a door to door salesman, I had no other job prospects. It was my only option, and the only offer I had on the table. For 8 months I couldn't get another job to hire me. Had a woman waiting for me at home every day to bring home the bacon to and what not. You can write about how much you hate them online all you want, but life is a lot more complicated then typing your comment into youtube.
@@BrocNerd I worked for charity fundraising, and you'd assume that it's the biggest rip off of "customers" (not really customers because they're not buying anything). But in fact (at least in Australia), people who donate can get a receipt, which they would be able to claim 100% tax return from the government. That means as long as you can live comfortably without the donating amount for maximum 1 year, you're really not losing anything. And that's all in the while you're actively making the world a better place.
I get people may say you can invest that money, or maybe you really need that money right now - and I understand. But for the act of helping out others and probably make yourself feel better, you're losing very little. I tried informing everyone of this, because I believe it would be beneficial for all. In the end, it did very little in changing people's opinions.
Dude this is hilarious. I so badly want to believe it is satire all along 😂 But there definitely is an epidemic in these "shorts" and "reels" on social media of people posting their own worst moments thinking the court of public opinion will rule in their favour... then they just leave the video up when it takes off for the wrong reason and take the payout all the same 😂 Can't hate it I guess

As a successful door to door sales person, Oliver’s techniques do work. Only 5% of people who open will actually buy, so it’s necessary to get really comfortable with no’s. Not everyone can handle rejection. 95 no’s and 5 sales is a ratio good ratio.
