Summary: This post introduces D2D University, Sam Taggart's comprehensive online training platform designed to significantly shorten the learning curve for door-to-door sales professionals. Featuring over 1,000 videos from more than 50 industry experts, it offers structured training on sales techniques, leadership, and recruiting for reps, managers, and owners across various D2D industries, aiming to boost results and reduce failure rates.

The world of door-to-door (D2D) sales is demanding. It requires resilience, skill, and a deep understanding of human connection. Many reps enter the field with enthusiasm, only to face the harsh realities of rejection, inconsistent results, and the steep learning curve that often leads to burnout. Trying to “figure it out” alone is possible, but as industry expert Sam Taggart often says, you pay the price in time – time filled with trial, error, and potentially lost income.

What if there was a way to shortcut that learning curve? What if you could access years of hard-won experience and proven strategies from the industry’s best, all in one place? That’s the exact problem Sam Taggart, founder of D2D Experts, set out to solve. He didn’t want others to waste precious time stumbling through the same challenges he faced grinding his way to the top. His solution? D2D University.

What is D2D University? More Than Just Training

D2D University isn’t just another online course; it’s a comprehensive, dynamic online training platform meticulously designed for the unique challenges and opportunities within the door-to-door sales industry. It’s built on the principle that success can be replicated faster and more effectively with the right guidance.

Instead of isolated tips, D2D University offers a start-to-finish sales process designed to transform motivated individuals into top performers. It distills years – even decades – of collective experience into actionable lessons you can implement immediately.

A Curriculum Built by the Best: What You’ll Master

The true power of D2D University lies in its depth and breadth, curated not just by Sam Taggart, but by over 50 industry experts. This collaboration brings diverse perspectives and specialized knowledge across sales, recruiting, leadership, and personal development. With over 1,000 training videos and 40+ hours of content (and growing monthly!), the platform covers every critical aspect:

For Sales Reps (Beginner to Pro):

Mindset & Expectations: Master the crucial mental game needed to handle rejection, stay motivated, and set realistic yet ambitious goals.

Door Approaches & Scripts: Learn proven techniques to make a powerful first impression, navigate gatekeepers, and gain entry using compelling, industry-specific scripts (Pest, Solar, Roofing, Alarms, Satellite, and more).

Objection Handling: Turn “no” into “yes” by understanding the root of objections and employing effective rebuttals without being pushy.

Presenting & Closing: Deliver persuasive presentations that resonate with homeowners and master various closing techniques to seal the deal confidently.

Getting Referrals: Learn how to leverage satisfied customers to create a steady stream of warm leads.

Area Management: Strategically work your territory for maximum efficiency and coverage.

And much more!
