How can I be successful selling door to door?

Some think that selling is a bed of roses, well it may be, but even a bed of roses has some thorns. Some believe that if they simply show up for work they will make 20,000 dollars during the summer. That is simply not true. In order to have a successful summer you need to show up to work, and then go to work. You need to knock on as many doors as possible, giving as many presentations as possible, getting as many "yes-es" as possible. You have to practice your presentation. Nobody enjoys role-playing but those who consistently role-play often make the most money. To be successful leave your cell phone on silent. Don't reply to every text message, or answer every phone call. When you are on the doors time is money. If you walk slowly between doors, it is impossible to create urgency at the door step, if you are not urgent your potential customer will not be urgent. There are days when even the best salesman will get nothing but "no" all day long. The defining attribute of the best sales representatives is that they just keep on knocking, keep on smiling, keep on presenting, and keep on asking.
