💡 Day 1 (Thu): Shaw knocks, Taijon watches. Day 2 (Fri): Taijon knocks, Shaw watches.

DAY 1 — THURSDAY

9:00

Morning Prep

Meet at your place. Walk through field guide. Show CRM on phone. Practice script 3× out loud — you play homeowner. Set expectations: "Today you watch."

10:00

Block 1 — Shaw Knocks

Highland Creek residential. Target: 20-25 doors. Taijon watches from 10 ft back. After each door, quick debrief: "Here's what I did, here's why." Teach the 3-second read.

12:00

Lunch Break

Debrief over food. Ask what he noticed. Log morning leads in CRM together. Show how to enter address, service, notes.

12:30

Block 2 — Mixed

Shaw knocks first 5, then Taijon knocks 5 with you right there. Jump in if needed. 15-20 more doors. Immediate feedback after each of Taijon's knocks.

2:30

Day 1 Wrap

Total: 35-45 doors. Debrief. Homework: practice script 10× in mirror. Give him 20 door hangers for tomorrow.

DAY 2 — FRIDAY

9:30

Quick Prep

Script from memory test. CRM refresher. Your role: observe from 15-20 ft back. Only intervene if he's drowning.

10:00

Block 1 — Taijon Knocks

25-30 doors. You watch silently, take notes. Every 5 doors, give 1-2 pieces of feedback max. Focus: confidence, flow, objection handling.

12:30

Block 2 — Taijon Solos

25-30 more doors. Drop back to car/across street. This simulates April 1. He logs every lead himself. Only approach if he signals.

3:00

Final Debrief

Review CRM entries. Confirm April 1 plan: streets, times, door hangers. Set goal: 40 doors/day, 3-4 estimates/day. 🎯 Total 2-day target: 70-90 doors, 5-8 estimates.

🚪 Door Knock Opening
Say This
"Hey! I'm [name] with MANTLE — we're a local window cleaning company. We just started servicing [neighbourhood] and I noticed your windows could use a good spring clean. We use a purified water system called ClearCoat that leaves zero streaks and keeps them cleaner 3x longer than regular cleaning. Plus everything's backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee — if you're not happy, you don't pay. We're running a spring special right now — 10% off your first clean. Can I give you a free quote? It takes about 2 minutes."
🔄 Pivot to Gutters
When They Say "Windows Are Fine"
"No worries! I totally get it. Hey — while I'm here, I actually noticed your gutters look like they might need some attention too. Spring's the worst time for clogs with all the debris. We do gutter cleaning as well — same guarantee. Want me to take a quick look and give you a number?"
💰 Handling "How Much?"
Ballpark + Book
"Great question! For a home like yours, exterior windows typically run $200-300 depending on the window count. But the best way is a quick free estimate — I'll walk around, count everything, and text you an exact number within 2 hours. What day works best for you, this week or next?"
🙅 Handling "Not Interested"
Leave Gracefully
"Totally understand! I'll leave this info card for you — we're local and we'll be servicing this area all spring and summer. If you ever need us, just give us a call. Have a great day! 👋" [Leave door hanger. Never push. Protect the brand.]
📅 Booking the Estimate
Close With Options
"What works better for you — a weekday or weekend? I can come by [Tuesday] or [Saturday] to take a quick look and get you an exact price. Takes about 5 minutes." [Always give 2 options. Never ask "when?" open-ended.]
🏠 Upsell at the Door
Only If Visible Need — One Add-On Max
"Oh — I noticed your [gutters/driveway/walkway] could use some attention too. When people bundle 2 services, we knock $50 off the total. Want me to include that in the estimate?" [Never force. Never stack. One upsell, one time.]
⚠️ Red Flags to Watch: Can't make eye contact → coach confidence. Reads script word-for-word → more practice, not training. Deflated after 3 no's → "7 out of 10 say no, that's normal." Pushes too hard → remind: hanger + move on.
