Door knocking, HELP!

[Melissa Webb]

I need some input on good door knocking do's and dont's. Even on how to start out, what do I say, how do I approach them, and how do I get past the sick butterflies in my stomach (and how long does that last?)? :oops: . I am looking at door knocking for foreclosures and approaching people who are having problems with code enforcement (if this info helps).

I don't think I'm special, but I sure don't mind knocking on doors.
I'll admit I thought I was going to throw up on the 1st person who answered the door....Thank god no one answered the door for like the first 2 weeks.................thats how long it took me to realize knocking on doors in the middle of the day was dumb!

Once I started going M-F 3pm-6pm.......and 8pm in the long summer days is when I started getting face to face with homeowners.

I've got some amazing deals from door knocking!!
most of my multi short sale deals were from door knocking and then contracting not only that property but all their other rentals that were going into foreclosure as well.....

I know some advise against it, but I would have to agree, knocking and follow up mailers or vice versa is/are good ideas
