What's worth selling, besides solar and roofing?

I'm in roofing right now and it's great, but for when I age out of this opportunity (climbing roofs)...

What else is currently worth selling? Right now I do 20-30k/mo when the weather is nice, so I'm only interested in products where I can anticipate at least 120k/yr.

Thanks!

Piercings, Dyed hair D2D. Don’t want to sacrifice self identity for success

I door knock for my own company in which I do patio repair and brick paver restoration. But I have a lip piercing, a septum, an eyebrow piercing, earrings, a second pair of earrings on my lobe, a triple spiked helix on my right ear and two cartilage piercings on my left ear as well as red hair.

Do you guys reckon this affects homeowner conversion rates when I show up at their door?

I don’t have designated uniform either, just working clothes for when I do the construction. I’m unsure if my preferred outward expression is good as a form of breaking preoccupation and seperate a me from every other door knocker at their door, or if it’s killing trust. Idk. Looking for advice! Thanks

I need yall advice

Okay so I’m very new to sales I just got my first job for a company call bright side windows , so they offer a $600 base pay and 12% commission rate , I also got another offer from a roofing company and they offer $750 paid training for a month then after that commission only but they have a 40% commission rate , so now I’m just thinking if I should risk it or accept the window job which is safer , but then again I have a side job that’s pays me $600 every week , which i can use for my bills just Incase , cause my bills ain’t high i have roommates, so what do you guys think should i risk for the higher commission or stay with the safer guys

How to get good with no training

I just started working d2d roofing sales and am on my 2nd month, I get a base+commissions but the only thing is there has been no training. My manager told me to watch Adam Benson my first day and to knock 100 doors a day and i will get it but has provided no other training. I’ve asked a few of my coworkers to shadow them for the day but most don’t want to bother helping me out or are too busy with their own appointments. I’ve gotten help here and there from team members but not enough to soak in enough to be any good. Any tips or should I go with a better company who will provide a more structured training.

Early 2000s door-to-door vacuum sales in Northern Ontario

I was in my early 20s around the early 2000s in Northern Ontario doing vacuum sales (TriStar Products). It was one of my first jobs and I didn’t really know much about it at the time, and I didn’t end up staying in that kind of work for very long. It was a door-to-door/demo-style sales job. We were based out of Sudbury, Ontario, and would go around the Sudbury area and North Bay, Ontario trying to sell.

It felt like a very fast-moving, high-energy setup—lots of driving, knocking on doors, and learning as you went. We also had a phone team calling people from the phone book, and we’d mail out “scratch card” style mailers where people could win a prize and then call in for a vacuum demo. Looking back, it all feels pretty surreal. I can’t believe I did that kind of job, I couldn’t imagine doing something like that today.

I’ve long moved on from that kind of work, but I randomly thought about it, and the people who worked with me recently and wondered if companies like that still even do door-to-door vacuum sales today, or if that whole style of selling has disappeared.

Curious if anyone else had similar jobs back then or knows if that kind of thing still exists.

Should I keep my job

So iv been doing door to door for about 3 months with a pretty morally good company we sell window cleaning with good benefits 5 star reviews and nice owners who teach you to sell by presenting our product instead of manipulation like alot of the other door to door company’s I’m making fine money with all of it being paid upfront I don’t have many complaints but the ones I do scare me like how none of our sells reps have solicitor licenses and our bosses know you need one but ignore it(very common for door to door company’s but still weird) I’m just not sure if I’m doing the right thing iv been getting anxious about wether what I’m doing is wrong even though I’m just seeing if our product is a good fit for them

Looking for the best free D2D alarm sales scripts, PDFs, and training resources

Hey everyone,
I’ve been doing door to door alarm sales for about a month now and I’m trying to improve as fast as I can. I’m mostly learning on my own, so I’m looking for any free resources that helped you.
Does anyone have any:
D2D alarm sales script PDFs
Objection handling guides
Training manuals
Pitch examples
Closing techniques
Role play material
Anything specific to Alarm.com, Telus, Vivint, ADT, or security system takeovers
I’m broke, so please don’t even try to sell me your course. 😂 I genuinely can’t afford it right now, so it probably isn’t worth your time. I’m just looking for free resources and trying to get better.
If you’ve got PDFs, Google Drive links, old training docs, or anything else you’d be willing to share, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Which job is better for commissions?

I am getting job offers from both Home Genius and Vivax Pros. Both seem like great offers, but one has a base pay of 17 an hour. Another has a base pay of 19 an hour. Which job are customers more willing to do sales with?

Google reviews make or break local shops now. What actually moves a customer to leave one?

For local home-service businesses, review counts and ratings increasingly determine who gets the call before a human is ever involved. The hard part isn't knowing reviews matter; it's that most happy customers.

What actually prompts a satisfied customer to write a review seems to vary a lot: the timing of the ask, who asks, whether there's a simple link, or a moment of genuine surprise in the service itself.

So the question is: what actually moves customers to leave a review, and what's a waste of breath? Does asking on-site beat a follow-up text, or vice versa?

How do you handle the unfair one-star without making it worse? And for the techs, does a personal ask from the person who did the work outperform anything the office sends later?
