Paying by the appointment is a good way to do it. They should be considered independent contractors and no worries about minimum wage.
Hire a Canvassor?
I do seamless gutters and was wondering if I should be hiring people to canvass for me instead of door knocking.
How much should I pay per lead or appointment?
I would say my average job is $800-$1200 with a 45% profit margin.
But I think I am going to make them stay in area's with bigger homes. So my per lead costs is worth it.
I was thinking $25 per appointment? I like the idea of a appointment. I would close 1 in 3 which would mean each is costing me $75.00. Does that seem right?
Will I find somebody to work for this. I know at $25 an appointment I could make $150.00 a day easy.
I really would like to stay away from hourly if at all possible.
Thanks,

Because when you make a offer and they except it, you will have a fixed lead cost. Someone knocking doors is often unsupervised. Do you really want to have a employee that does not guarantee to produce.If you think you could make $150 a day easy.... why not tell them where to go and pay them $10 an hour? that's only $80 a day, you save money lol
even $10 an hour is high for a canvasser, $9 would be more the going rate, at least here in cali where wages tend to be higher. now you're down to $72 a day.
I don't know how much per day workman's comp would be on the kid, but it couldn't be enough to make it cost you more than that $150/day you think you could rake in doing it yourself
Knocking on doors takes alot of motivation. Only a rare person can stay enthusiastic after rejection. $125 day or more will buy consistency
Your results will be much better if you have him knock n the door and speak with the homeownerI am thinking about hiring a canvasser but not to knock on doors.
I want him to pass out flyers to every house that looks like it needs a roof.
I also want him to carry a clip board and write down the address of every house that gets a flyer, and then I’ll have someone enter the data into our Marketing software to build my mailing list.
Give me your feedback on this approach.
I agree. Sometimes you work an area where you never get bothered about a permit, and sometimes you just have that person who looks for you and like to call the cops.
The one really good thing about having a permit is that you get a background check on the canvasser at the same time.
