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.
