Hey everyone, Sam Taggart here, coming at you with some fresh insights from the trenches of door to door sales.
Now, if you’re in the D2D game, you know it’s a rollercoaster of highs and lows, successes and setbacks. But what if I told you that the secret to consistent success isn’t about riding those highs or getting bogged down by the lows, but rather finding your “neutral”?
That’s right, we’re talking about maintaining indifference in sales.
Imagine this: Every door you knock on, every pitch you deliver, you’re not overly attached to the yes, nor are you devastated by the no. You’re in a state of balance, ready to give your best at every opportunity, but also prepared to move on instantly if things don’t pan out. This is the power of staying grounded in sales, the secret sauce that millionaire roofing mogul Zac Johnson and countless other successful sales professionals leverage to their advantage.
Watch my talk with Zac below, or keep reading for a brief overview.

The Journey from Rookie to Roofing Mogul
I sat down with Zach Johnson, the CEO of Moose Roofing, a company that’s been making waves in the roofing industry. Zach’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. From working in suits to diving headfirst into roofing to make some serious dough, Zach’s story is a testament to the power of jumping in with both feet.
Under Zach’s leadership, Moose Roofing skyrocketed from a modest operation to a powerhouse, scaling from $2 million to a staggering $15 million. How? Through relentless door-knocking, innovative recruiting, and a culture of hustle. Zach and his team didn’t just accept the status quo; they challenged it, transforming the brand and revolutionizing their sales approach.

The Neutral Zone
But the real gold nugget in Zach’s story isn’t just his meteoric rise. It’s his philosophy of maintaining a “neutral” mindset. Imagine a gauge, with one end being extreme positivity and another extreme negativity. Zach posits that both extremes can be equally draining and counterproductive. The real magic happens in the middle – the neutral zone.
Being “neutral” doesn’t mean being emotionless or indifferent. It means staying grounded, centered, and focused on the present, regardless of the ups and downs. It’s about appreciating the wins without getting carried away and facing the losses without despair. This mindset allows you to consistently perform, grow, and make rational, informed decisions.

The Power of Presence
Living in the neutral zone fosters a powerful sense of presence. Getting caught up in what could be or has been easy, but true growth and opportunity lie in the “what is.” This mindset shift isn’t just about sales; it’s about life. It’s about making the most of every moment, every interaction, and every opportunity.

I knocked doors since I was 11! Never bought into the whole hourly normal job, and used direct sales to be the vehicle to create MASSIVE success. I Started the Direct Sales division for Solcius as their VP building it up to have 70+ sales reps nation wide. In 2018 I left to pursue a greater mission to unify and uplevel the Door to Door industry and founded the D2D Experts.
