Single-speaker YouTube monologue comparing door-to-door selling and cold calling. Speaker recommends beginners start door-to-door to develop quick interpersonal reflexes, then transition to cold calling for scalability and comfort; cites personal experience selling debt-relief to SMBs and comments on career longevity and environmental/physical considerations (e.g., extreme heat). Tone: conversational and blunt, with casual profanity.
Door to door or cold calling? Which one is best? Here's what I'm gonna suggest to you. If you're young in sales, I would start off door to door. That's what I did. Okay. I think it's really, really good because when you knock on a door, there's a lot going through that prospect's line quickly. You are a complete stranger and you have to learn how to get really quick witted. So when you get into other sales situations further in your career, maybe you've got inbound leads or outbound leads, things like that, everything slows down if you can master it on the doors. Now I will tell you my second career, I sold debt relief services cold calling to SMB and mid level. So that quickness where they say something, you know exactly where to take them. Loop back around and ask another question, like reframe that like real quick. That will pay dividends to you when you get into like more high end stuff that you're selling. So whether you want to do door to door or cold calling, I wouldn't say it matters. Like I excel them both. We have clients and like all those that crush. It really depends on if you want to keep knocking after you get to a certain age. Because you probably don't want to be like 35, 40, 45, 50 knocking on doors when you can literally just pick up the fuck phone master sales, master cold calling and just crush it at your house or crush at the office. You don't have to be out in 105 degree weather in the summer. So I would say that.
