How to prepare for your first door to door sales job
Being a successful D2D sales contractor requires knowledge, skill, and perseverance. While it may seem daunting, this career path is a virtually guaranteed way to home ownership, financial independence, and up-leveling your lifestyle forever.
1. Watch as much video training as you can
Start with my Auto Hail Repair Contractor Masterclass.
Aaronshailrepair.com/learn
You can't find Auto Hail Repair SPECIFIC training anywhere else online. Even if you go get an entry level sales job at a dent repair company, NO ONE has training like this that shows you literally every single conversation you will ever have in this job and exactly what to say.
The biggest reason rookies in D2D fail is not knowing what to say, or having poor training and support. When you get my masterclass, you have the metaphorical keys to the gold mine and will know exactly what to say in every situation. Of course - closing sales will take practice, you can't just watch something one time and then expect to deliver the information flawlessly to people.
In the beginning you will "burn doors" and lose sales by not recalling or knowing information fast enough, so it's important to quickly become an expert at explaining auto hail repair to people.
It's not as bad as it sounds. Since Auto Hail Repair is totally free for customers, sales come more easily compared to every other D2D niche.
Mostly peoples objections are they think "it's too good to be true", or they don't understand how insurance works. So whenever you explain the repair process - its a no brainer for them to sign up with you. But CLOSING A DEAL requires you to say things a certain way, and every conversation you have will be slightly different. Every salesperson develops their own unique way of selling over time based on the conversations they have and how they learn from the rejections. So you need to put in the time to get through those rejections and get comfortable closing deals.
Here are some free training videos that are amazing for learning HOW to say things (which is the most important part of selling):
Jordan Belfort Straight Line Training Videos (Fundamental sales principals)
Here are some more paid resources:
These resources are amazing if you want to sell solar or roofing. But they have zero videos or information about auto hail repair. They also cost thousands of dollars.
2. Listen to podcasts from salespeople who have made MILLIONS in D2D sales
These podcasts are so motivating because people that made millions in D2D sales within a year or two are just like you and me. But what they did to make that kind of money was plan out their year and really buckle down to study and master the craft of selling. They work all day from sunrise to sunset and biohack their nutrition and sleep to be able to sustain that level of work. Some people describe how they went from making one or two sales a day to making 20+ some days. These free podcasts are absolute GOLD and super motivating.
You can learn about D2D sales in other Niches besides auto hail repair - like solar, roofing, pest, alarms, etc... but in my opinion auto hail repair is the best thing to sell because its free, and gives you the highest commissions in the shortest amount of time compared to other products and services.

3. Be relentless when it comes to your mindset and goals
I'm telling you the number one thing that determines if you make it or fail at this career is your mindset. What does that mean exactly?
D2D sales is not a "normal" line of work. People in society are programmed to hate on things they don't understand or different information from what they think is true. If you tell someone you're going to make $10,000 a week they probably won't believe you or scoff at the idea. Once you show them you do - average people will hate on you for it.
My point is people are going to try and HOLD YOU BACK. Your family might discourage you or shame you for going into this line of work. Your friends or significant other might advise you against it because they DON'T UNDERSTAND the opportunity.
Rude people "on the doors" will also play ego power tripping games and insinuate that you are a bad person for being a solicitor. They will try and make you want to QUIT from SOCIAL PRESSURE, they will try and make you FEEL BAD for trying to make yourself wealthy. Fuck those people! I just laugh at them because they are losers!
It takes self work and discipline to execute behaviors in real life, that lead to the vision of the life you have for yourself.
You alone are responsible for your destiny. Ruthlessly sacrifice what you have to. Don't let anyone or anything stop you from living the life you dream of. It's not going to be easy, but the freedom you gain will be worth it.
Make a promise to yourself that even if you fail in the BEGINNING, you will KEEP GOING until you MASTER this line of work. Because these skills and this job is a virtually guaranteed opportunity that will take you from broke to having enough money to really be free.
