Takeaways:

  • Market Shift: The home service boom (2020–2023) has ended; call volume dropped 30–40% and stabilized at lower levels.
  • Brand over Rankings: Strong, memorable branding now outweighs digital rankings for lead quality and cost-effectiveness.
  • Digital Challenges Ahead: Marketing will become harder and costlier due to saturation and AI platforms diverting traffic.
  • Canvassing Opportunity: Door-to-door reaches the 94% of households not actively seeking services, creating untapped growth potential.
  • Fast, Low-Cost Leads: Canvassing generates immediate leads and revenue, funding long-term branding efforts.
  • Misconceptions Debunked: Door-to-door works across industries and doesn’t harm reputation if done right.
  • Setter-Closer Model: Businesses can control lead flow by training canvassers (setters) to book and sales reps (closers) to convert.
  • Three-Pillar Institute Approach:
  1. Marketing & Branding (direct mail, video, brand warming)
  2. Recruiting & Team Building (hiring, profiling, retention)
  3. Sales Training (50%+ close rates, higher tickets)
  • Proactive Growth: Eliminates seasonality and dependency on external leads by creating a steady, controlled pipeline.
  • “5-Mile Famous”: Focus on hyper-local recognition through frequent, consistent touchpoints to dominate a local market.
