I hated on knocking big time but have brought in 13mill with it alone
Hit up small businesses locally owned non-franchised mom-and-pop type stuff. Do it face-to-face. I guarantee you that 90% of them never heard of a SIMPLE IRA. They're out there funding at traditional or Roth IRA with no idea they could get over 13,000 into an account just by matching a small amount to employees who actually give a damn.
Intriguing , where do you guys live that you are door knocking and getting this type of ROI , and what are you saying at the doors
I try to meet 3-5 "green" prospects a week. Sometimes I get through 500 doors and sometimes it's much less. Sometimes I meet the perfect prospect and we sit on their porch and talk for an hour. Some days I don't meet anyone even close to a prospect. It's mentally hard as hell so don't judge your success until you've done it for 4 weeks. Then look back and decide if it works for you or not. Go hard for 4 weeks though, wear a suit, and ask direct questions.
I started with AMP, do some fish bowling.
Door knocking brings in 7-10 million a year over first couple years for me but it's damn hard. Never tried cold calling over the phone. Interested in where you get numbers and what you say?
I just started researching and I'm looking into scripts etc... but I'll be hitting the suburbs next week. Going to go hard for the last weeks of fall and see how it pans out. Do you all have a ratio (i.e. Always knock on 100 doors a day etc...?)
Yes, :)

@Edward Jones 1 I would love to connect and learn your technique… I am out in Salt Lake and have no qualms about knocking on doors :-)
When you EDJ guys talk about door knocking, do you mean small businesses or are you hitting up people at home? It's hard to believe that works.
At home. We've been doing it that way for almost 100 years. It works... unless of course you're in downtown New York or down town LA... then maybe not.
Get out to the suburbs. I'm in Atlanta but knock in a suburb.. introduce yourself, tell them what you do, and get to know them. 99% will tell you to go away but the 1% will have a 401k rollover or a bunch of money in savings, which is what I focus on when knocking.
@Ameriprise OP : come to EDJ and I'll teach you all the tricks :)
I’ve always cold called...but then got busy and stopped for like 7 years...now doing it again and although I don’t get to talk to as many people as before the responses have been great because no one does it anymore.
