Hey Everyone! Happy Sunday! I hope you are all doing great!
For today I want to talk about my experience so far doing door to door sales, for the Student Works Painting Franchise that I'm running this summer.
Now I know I missed my last post so this week I'm making two to catch up!
For today I want to talk about my experience so far doing door to door sales, for the Student Works Painting Franchise that I'm running this summer.
So far I've been out a total of 3 times for 7 hours total. I have only had 1 person mention anything about a pandemic out of about 200 people that I talked to.
When I first started I was wearing this mask that I got off amazon that had this clear window in it. It sucked.
Because its an actual barrier and isn't breathable the mask fogs up right away! Especially in the cold. So no one was able to see my face or smile which was the whole point of using this mask. Next, because I was talking so much the condensation from my breath started to drip down my mask and into the cloth part. Not a big deal unless your outside in below 0 temperatures. So right away it started to freeze and get super cold right on my face. Also, it is significantly harder for people to hear you while you are talking with a mask. When I came across an older person I was pretty much fucked and just gave them a flyer and moved on.
So about 1/2 an hour into my first session I dropped the mask and started to use this clear face shield that I got off of amazon. I thought because it is away from my face I wouldn't have the earlier issues... I was completely wrong. Because the whole shield was plastic the fog travelled all the way up the shield. So when I was pitching people and then trying to objection handle I lost sight of the person in front of me. Would have been pretty funny to watch from the homeowners perspective as I started to disappear from sight...
The other shitty thing about the plastic face shield is that the condensation starts to bead up and then I was dripping water off my mask. I can't imagine what this looked like to a homeowner.
After that, I dropped the face shield and mask completely. I made sure I was standing back at least 15 feet! This worked significantly better. I was much more comfortable doing this I and think it must have been reflected in my pitch. Overall I was able to generate 7 leads from marketing so far which pretty good for late December marketing!
Overall for anyone doing door to door from SW, just make sure that you are standing very far away from the door and you should be absolutely fine.
That’s all for this week everyone!
As always please feel free to interact with me more/or provide feedback!

This was a really thoughtful and engaging post. I liked how the author explained the topic in such a clear and relatable way. Reading content like this helps students stay motivated and continue learning beyond the classroom. As someone managing multiple academic responsibilities, I often explore useful educational resources online. Many learners also search for Electrical Engineering Assignment Help through New Assignment Help UK when working on complex engineering concepts, calculations, and project-based assignments.
Running door to door during that period took real patience, especially dealing with fogged shields, freezing weather, and trying to communicate clearly from a distance. The part about adjusting your approach instead of forcing uncomfortable gear made the experience feel genuine and practical. Small details in daily work often matter more than people realize. It reminds me of fleet operators who invest in a solid lock for battery USA solution because simple preventive steps save time, money, and stress before bigger problems happen on the road.
Mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng شيخ روحاني thì thấy nhắc nên cũng tò mò mở ra xem thử cho biết. Mình không tìm hiểu sâu rauhane chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để quan sát bố cục s3udy cách sắp xếp các mục và trình bày nội dung tổng thể. Cảm giác là các phần được trình bày khá gọn, các mục rõ ràng nên đọc lướt cũng không bị rối Berlinintim, với mình như vậy là đủ để nắm tin cơ bản rồi. q8yat
This is a really honest and interesting read about door-to-door sales during the pandemic. The struggles with masks and face shields sound so frustrating! Good on you for adapting and still getting leads.
When long classes get boring, reading real-life stories like this becomes one of my favourite things to do when bored in class. Of course, if I get too distracted, I know I’ll need reliable PHP Assignment Help UK to catch up!
I believe lederjacke damen is one of the smartest fashion investments anyone can make because it lasts for years and still looks stylish. The material ages beautifully, and over time it becomes even more comfortable. It’s a piece that truly blends fashion, function, and long-term usability.
