Needham Canvassing Training Manual

CHB70

Has anyone purchased this information, if so was it worth the $350.00

Mr. Mike

$350.00 is not much if this will help you, what are you trying to learn?

I have never went door to door and was wondering if this manual would help instruct me on how to go about knocking doors and get results.

CHB70

350.00 is a deal if it has any useful info at all.

Mr. Mike

Yes $350.00 is great for anything that will motivate you to get out and sale, Let me ask you if you would like some pointers in this thread?

I am ready to start doing this myself and have did some research with Phil Rea on this matter. Being a one call close master as I am this door knocking will be very handy.

Any information on this particular subject would be greatly appreciated.

There was a write up about Needham and his canvassing techniques in the Construction Marketing Blog, put out by Publisher1 from this site.

http://constructionmarketingideas.blogspot.com/2008/11/canvassing-in-columbus-how-to-knock-on.html

For $ 350.00, it seems like a worthwhile investment, if put into practice.

Are you from around the Round Lake/Lake Villa area?

If so, what towns are you considering. That would be a big No-No in North Barrington I would presume.

Ed,

Yea I read the article today and was just checking to see if anyone has actually purchased the manual and could comment about the information they received.
I would be working the Lake County area to start.

Ed the Roofer

That is about the least expensive canvassing program for sale that I have seen when investigating them for myself.

How many canvassers are you looking at sending out to hit the streets?

Or, maybe a better question wqould be, How many crews do you have that you need to keep busy?

Ed

I have 3 roofing crews I would love to keep busy.
2 siding crews
1 gutter crew
I would like to start small and see how it works 3-5 canvassers. All my business comes from the yellow pages and word of mouth.
I still get the reco's but the economy cut my yellow page business 30-35% and would like to put my advertising dollars to work in other areas this year.

Mr. Mike

Phil Rea has a film crew walking with him on knocking doors, its very good and costs around $200.00 to $300.00. I highly recommend you watch that.

i have the program, heck i'll sell it for $250.00 LOL!
i am not a big fan. his whole thing is to get you to have one of his guys come out to you and trian ya.

Ed the Roofer

Thats what Mike Feazel from RSI did, to get training to set up a canvassing program for their members, but it didn't work out the way they thought it would.

I've got a few sources that bought into that program.

But, if you sell one job, would the $ 350.00 be worth it then?

Thats what they would say if you spoke with them probably.

No, run with it.

Just do a little reading about some techniques discussed.

You may have a different slant of the subject.

Sorry. I didn't mean to sound like I was attempting to stifle your enthusiasm about the topic.

Ed

Here is a tip for you that I have posted in the past, in the Site Help and Suggestions Forum.



"If you've ever tried to search for something here where the search term is only 3 characters, you'll find you can't search anything.

Workaround:

Go to google.com


type the search terms you are looking for as usual and then type


site:contractortalk.com


Google will then search ONLY our beloved forum and spew forth the results."



Once again, thank Greg for this useful aide.[/quote]

TIP:

This also works for looking for a particular topic, for instance. "Canvassing", as an alternative to using the Search Function on this forum.


site:contractortalk.com canvassing

And.....

Here are the Google Results for Canvassing on ContractorTalk

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...com+canvassing
