How Much Can You Make in Door to Door Sales?

What’s up guys, it’s Sam Taggart. I’m gonna talk to you about how much money there really is in door-to-door sales. Now, a lot of people obviously see door-to-door sales as like the low man on the totem pole, when it comes to sales jobs, and they’re looking at like medical supply sales or software sales or whatever else you could sell is like way more professional, way more technical, and way cooler. But, the reality is I know door to door sales guys that would run circles around other sales industries as far as an income level. And they are really the gritty hungry people in the world. Now, a lot of people do this job because they couldn’t get another job, or out of necessity. And it’s just a quick, like anyone is hiring. The reality is you should shift your mindset to be, no I’ve entered into one of the best vehicles for some of the highest potential earning out there.

And what I mean by that is door-to-door sales professionals can make million, plus. I mean, I’m sitting in a million dollar home right now. I drive the truck of my choice. I travel the world and I’ve done it all through knocking on doors. The reality is, because we’re the hungry, we’re the ones that are willing to go door after door, new prospect, after new prospect, get our face kicked in, but also create the business. A lot of sales jobs are just the scavenger waiting for the scraps to be fed. I looked at a car salesman and I go, well, what if no one shows up to your lock? A lot of times, you’re just depending on how well the store, the trap flow goes, where door-to-door, there’s a million doors out here you could go knock. You just gotta get off your butt and go do it.So, they are the highest paid professionals I’ve seen and some of the lowest paid professionals. Let’s talk real numbers now. So the reality is you start out as a rep. So, if I’m like brand new to this industry, it’s like, great. You’re gonna have to work your way up. And that’s just part of the journey. So, accept that rep, you know, if you’re selling like pest, or solar, or roofs, or something like that. A lot of times you just do it for a summer, maybe it’s cause the lighting or you’re in school or whatever most guys can make 20, $30,000 just in three, four months. Now some of you guys are like, this must be a scam. I’m like, there’s no way I can make that much money. It’s like, yeah, think twice, I’m gonna go do a summer internship. I’m gonna go work at fricking Kohl’s or Home Depot or I’m gonna actually go make some real money and give it a shot.

So, if you’re just getting started and you’ve never done this like door-to-door our sales guys, even their very first year on average, 20 grand in a summer, that’s like killer. And some guys like, I’ll tell you my story. I mean, I made probably, I made 20 grand my very first two months. Then I left. I finished the season and then, you know, I came back the second season and made like 80 grand in four months. And then I made 250 grand in four months and you know, 250 grand is a 23 year old cat. Like, that’s a lot of money. And a lot of times, a lot of people don’t understand like professionals like guys that have a bachelor’s degree, don’t make $250,000. It’s hard to go make that kind of money. And then you get like, reps. I know reps making a million dollars just as a sales professional. They’re selling all year, no team, no leader, no business owner. They just have a badge, and a shirt, and a clipboard, and an iPad, or whatever. They’re going and hitting the pavement, bringing in seven figures.

How Much Does a Door to Door Sales Management Position Make?

Now what happens if you move up into management role? So, how most of these companies are structured is you actually get paid to recruit. It’s not some MLM. We have to buy product in order to keep it beyond the team. Like, you’re not doing that. What I mean is they incentivize you to go build teams and lead these teams and create more sales volume for yourself. So managers typical make a percentage or an override over the teams below them. Meaning if I had 20 guys under me at any even moment, I might make a small percentage over all of their sales. Therefore I’m still selling, making my half million bucks or 20 grand or 50 grand, whatever you’re making. But, then I’m also making money on every single one of these guys.

Then, a regional manager is making money on multiple teams. There’s a lot of companies that will give you a clear path on how to be a sales rep, then how to manage and then how to be a regional manager. And then there’s an owner, which is like VP owner roles, where you could start your own. You could, you know, really be like a business owner and do this as your source of revenue. It’s a very powerful, predictable revenue stream. What I mean by that is, you know, a lot of us we’ll throw $10,000 at a Facebook ad and then we’re gonna like SEO five grand a month. And then we’re gonna whatever. And I’m like, okay, without even doing any of that and hoping that my ads rank or my, my listing is up there and people click on it and then that somehow converts into a lead. And it’s all in this hopes of like a six month or a two year process to build that out. I could not even have a website like zero website, go knock a door, no business card, no shirt, no badge, no nothing. Go knock a door and create money. Just like that. Boom.

No other industry, like very rare places, can you literally spend zero dollars. What you’re spending is your energy and effort. You can create money. So, you do that on a multiplication scale. Meaning I have teams that do that for me, I’m doing it. Uh, and you get more sophisticated at it and you learn how to do it, right? It’s extremely profitable. So door-to-door. I mean, I know many millionaires, many people have gone on this started other businesses invested into real estate, created this lifestyle for themselves, knocking on doors, like take some pride to be a door knocker. Like a lot of people they’re like, uh, door knocking, like that’s beneath me. I look at them and I go, no, you’re just too pussy to do it. And so, the reality is it’s like so many people out there don’t realize that it takes grind. It takes butt it sweat tears. It’s like hard. Yeah. It’s not for the faint hearted, but at the end of the day, like we get paid to be a professional, what we do and it’s professional money.
