🚪 MANTLE Door Knocker Guide
EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN YOUR POCKET
📋 THE PITCH (memorize this)
*Knock knock* *Step back 3 feet* *Smile*
"Hey! I'm [NAME] with Mantle — we're a local cleaning company here in [NEIGHBOURHOOD]. We're out doing some work on your street this spring."
*Point at something specific on their home:*
"I noticed your [windows have some buildup from winter / gutters look like they could use a clean / driveway has some salt staining]. We use purified water — not tap water — so everything comes out streak-free. Zero spots."
"We're running a spring special right now — 10% off for first-time customers. Can I get you a free quote? Takes 2 minutes."
5 Observation Hooks (use what you actually see)
- "I can see some mineral buildup on your front windows from winter..."
- "Your gutters look like they've got some debris from the fall..."
- "That driveway salt staining cleans up beautifully with pressure washing..."
- "The pollen is starting already — your windows are going to get hit hard..."
- "I noticed your neighbour at [number] just booked with us..."
💡 THE #1 RULE: Always lead with windows. It's the easiest sell because the homeowner can SEE the problem from the door.

🔥 HANDLING OBJECTIONS
❌ "That's too expensive"
"I totally get it. Most people think that at first — but our purified water means your windows stay clean 3 times longer than regular cleaning. So per clean day, you're actually paying less. Plus we have a 100% money-back guarantee, so there's zero risk."
❌ "I already have a guy"
"Nice! Does he use purified water? Most companies use tap water which leaves mineral spots. If you ever want to compare, we'll do your first clean at 10% off. If it's not better, you don't pay."
❌ "I'll do it myself"
"Fair enough! Just a heads up — Toronto tap water leaves white spots when it dries on glass. Even with Windex. Our purified water solves that. But if DIY is your thing, here's a tip: do it on a cloudy day so the water doesn't dry too fast."
❌ "Not a good time / not interested"
"No worries at all! Here's a door hanger with our spring special — if you change your mind, just text the number. Have a great day!" *Leave hanger, move on. Don't push.*
❌ "Is this a scam? / Are you legit?"
"Great question — we're fully insured with $2 million coverage, locally owned, and every job comes with a money-back guarantee. Here — check out our website." *Show them callmantle.ca on your phone.*
✅ CLOSING THE DOOR
If they're interested:
"Perfect! All I need is your address and the best number to text you. We'll have a free estimate to you within 2 hours. No obligation — if the price works, we'll get you on the schedule."
Get: Name, address, phone, which services they want. Log in CRM immediately.
If they say "let me think about it":
"Absolutely! Here's a door hanger — the spring special is 10% off, and it ends April 30. When you're ready, just text that number. We're here all spring."
If nobody's home:
Leave a door hanger on the handle. Move on. Don't skip — hangers convert at 1-2%.

⚠️ RULES
- No knocking before 10 AM or after 7 PM
- Skip "No Soliciting" signs — always
- Step back after knocking — don't crowd the door
- Be respectful. If someone says no, say thank you and leave
- No lying about pricing. Say "I'll get you an exact quote" not fake numbers
- Log EVERY door in the CRM — even no-answers
- Wear clean, presentable clothes. No competitor logos.
- Bring: phone (charged), door hangers, pen, water
💪 REMEMBER: Every "no" gets you closer to a "yes." The average knocker hears 30+ no's for every job booked. That's normal. The money is in the volume.
