Three tactics for door-to-door sales in the rain: use a positive attitude since rain makes prospects more receptive, ask to step inside during heavy downpours, and offer a rainy-day discount to frame it as a special promotion.
This is how to sell door-to-door in the rain. You literally grab an umbrella and you do this. Just this. But actually, here's 3 tips to sell in the rain. Number 1, change your attitude about it. When it's raining, people are kind of mellowed out and they're actually way more open to buying your product. Number 2, try to get inside the house if it's a crazy downpour. Simply say, hey, it's crazy out here. You mind if I just step inside? You want shoes on or off? Look down at the rug, scuff your shoes. And then last but not least, tell them they're getting a rainy day discount. You'll say, hey, because our routes kind of got a little messed up with the rain, we're just doing a massive discount for you for supporting us when we've had these cancellations anyways. And then continue with your pitch. Use these 3 tips, and most of all, just get a freaking umbrella and stop letting rain hold you from hitting your goals.
