Door knocking -Soliciting

[BC WetCoast]

A friend told me that the local Davey office had a couple of guys going door to door because things were slow.

Jeff is that particularly honest?

You are a contributor at Pekkaworld and you know that the Pekka head bans anyone who even likes me (that is why you used the word lurking below). As you know Arboristsite has a far more democratic approach to dissenting opinions. Darin is not paranoid about someone disagreeing with him.

A google alert brought the thread to my attention that included posts from you. To remind you .. you said "Mr. Hartley must be Outraged!!!!!! (right mister? I know you are lurking)" and then "So then, He is protected by mean's of tax-payer's. I wonder how he sleep's at nite?"

Well Jeff, Google was lurking and I am outraged that someone thinks I am responsible just because I didn't comment on someone else's bad pruning work. What gives ... did you get the idea from Pekka that I did the work?

Didn't you find it strange that he got the name of the person that did the work and then never named them yet blamed me for doing nothing after the damage had been done?

Is it a Pekkaworld official that he is protecting?

Did you know one of the big names at Pekkaworld was not working to the standards but no name and shame?

I think you should listen to you doctor and stay on the med's
! You are sure troubled- Door knocking? Hack? Lopper? Dude, you need a vacation! Take a pill and go!

I've noticed lots of sad ass nothings post how they are too good to knock on a door of an owner of an obvious tree hazard or tree in decline... keep feeding your egos, that's all you'll have in the end too.
Like some "books" that have written about it being unprofessional to door knock... I have read many printed mistakes. Reminds me of preachers that molest little boys. Some places have laws against door knocking... some places have a lower crime rate. Not all knockers are hacks. I have knocked doors before... not much, but none the less, I could work circles around many of you nay sayers, and am better educated than many also.. and I have several certs.. arborist being one of them.
Not everyone is smart enough or clean enough to talk to people honestly.

You're rambling there, boob. What's your point?

 

[tree md]

Just a for instance: You have a crane on site and are taking a tree off of a house in a storm damaged area... There is a tree on the house next door, one across the street and another one two doors down... Are you not going to knock on those doors and advise the people that now is the most economical time to get the trees off of their houses as I have a crane on site???

Come on, get real folks...

it is what it is there "small wood".
Does your name mean similar to penis envy?
Maybe you should read more on the subject matter before posting and becoming perceived similar to jeff.
Maybe you, like jeff, could use some help to get your head and/or the silver spoon out of your ass long enough to learn how to wipe it.

I'm just SHOCKED that you would speak to me in this manner. In particular, your lack of capitalization of proper names ((J)jeff and (S)small wood) indicates that you're a dope fiend. Stop it! Stop knocking on doors. You'll ruin our whole industry and we'll all be out of work.
Get a haircut and have a nice day,

You don't deserve caps in your name with comments like that. I'm glad to inform you that, I don't do dope... I don't even drink alcohol.
I've learned that the ones that make these accusations are normally the dope heads and drunkards, and the ones that say they don't have to knock doors... wish they could.
As I previously mentioned, if you are the seriously stupid, a crack head, pill head, meth head, heroin addict, coke head, drunkard, and/or any other kind of scum bag, you should just hide behind your signs, listings, and phone calls... and pray the potential client does not hang up or throw you off of their property after they see and/or speak with you.

I know door knocking has to be the most effective way to get customers, however, I seem to stay blank whenever I approach a customer. Especially not know the kind of reaction I will get. My question to you is, what do you say when knocking on a strangers door to offer your tree services? Like a script. I would like to read what every says. I know I have to be happy and polite. Thanks guys

Now days door knocking has no good impact on customer.Customer needs are different and brands are in demand.Door knocking is time consuming and costly beside this a lot of ways we have such as social networking site and the best way in my opinion is every door direct mail system.

It's funny but about 2 month after I started this thread, I had an arborist from Kansas call me for a sales position in our company. He found us in google or so. He said he will work full commission as a salesman door knocking with no hourly rate. First day he started was a Saturday and sold about $1,300 of work in 2 properties in the day. Jobs were not bidded poorly either. I was very impressed at how quickly he sold work, I didn't believe that was possible until then. He kept us busy through the whole summer by door knocking and also bidding our current customers. To bad he had to leave early last year for a family emergency. Long story short, door knocking can be very effective for someone that has the confidence to knock on a door when they see an opportunity. And of course be knowledable about the field.
