So now that F2F contact is basically off the table what's going on with DM?

You should see after eating bean burritos... I blow competition out of the water.

Life Hawk, sometimes your jokes stink!

Dave, just wanted you to know that when I see people now days I ask them to to sit with their back to me, and then I do the same to them. I call it "butt to butt" sales.

Does it make you feel more "connected"?

Chase thats interesting. I'm assuming since a lot of agents have pulled back on DM the ones mailing have less competition and response rates higher. Many area's going to lockdown's so nobody will be able to get around legally.

Life Hawk, sometimes your jokes stink!

Even the silent ones.

Even the silent ones.

ESPECIALLY the silent ones!!! Silent but deadly.

These are so that even the hard of hearing can enjoy my presentation.

I remember in Jr. High and High School, whenever I'd have a silent but deadly, I'd look at the guy in the next aisle with a disgusted look on my face and go, "EWWWWWW, that stinks!!! Did you crap yer pants?" I've always been a sh*t stirrer.

We have Agents crushing it in the field with DM leads.

Who is we?

Hopefully it'll be that soon.

In my mind any doors knocked and business written January through April was the gravy. All along I knew that May through September was where I'd get the meat. I don't care what you're selling and I don't care if you knock all year long: May through September is the Major League of Door Knock season. I've made peace with the fact that May is likely gone. But if I lose June too? I'll be very, very sad.

I know a lot of folks don't get it, but for guys like us - you and me and shonceman and Lifehawk and rouse - cold door knocking isn't just a superior method of prospecting, but it's a helluva fun too. Fun, great exercise, just walking and talking ... it is going to be a sad summer if we can't get back to normal. It certainly is not social distancing lol

My doorknocking prime time is right now. I’m in a hotter climate, so mid-March through May is hands down my best season. Early autumn (Sept-Oct) is also good. Summers are pretty hot and humid. I still doorknock then, but wear out more quickly, and need more breaks.

Watching the weather forecast this morning, seeing fantastic weather for the next week, I felt myself dying inside!
