Lead Generation by Door Knocking

Hello everyone,

So...I have a mentor that is adamant about door knocking pre-foreclosures to generate leads. In my personal opinion, I feel it's dangerous; as you are dealing with sensitive homeowners. Her theory is "wouldn't you let someone cuss you out then potentially get $10K - $30K when you close the deal?" Uhhhh...no....because it's not that simple.

BP, how do you feel about door knocking pre-foreclosure homeowners?

Hi @Andy Cross,

They way I see it, you can "waste" your time knocking doors, talking to real people, getting real experience and real feedback on your value proposition OR you can waste your time pretending you're working putting together marketing materials without any experience and feedback, spend money, and hope that someone calls you so that you can get face-to-face with them to get real experience and feedback on your value proposition.

Door knocking isn't that huge a commitment. The only think hard about it is changing your mindset - people are surprisingly easy to talk to... don't over think it! Just try it for a day... get some experience.
