Cold door knocking. What do you do?
What do you say / do when walking door to door  to prospect for new business ?

I've been "posing" as an investor looking to buy an office/warehouse in the area and gauge people's response. This isnt necessarily untrue as I have a pocket full of real investors to show properties too.

What are some other tips / tricks you do to get more leads?

Find the owners of buildings you have buyers for and call the owners.  Door knocking on properties is pretty unprofessional in my opinion.  Also, it\u2019s not efficient.  If you\u2019re talking office warehouse, you\u2019re going to get what, maybe 1 decision maker per hour if you\u2019re lucky?  Then let\u2019s say you have a 1% chance of a follow up meeting.  You\u2019re spending hours and hours getting 2-3 people a week even willing to talk, let alone consider selling.  Or you could call 100 owners a day and weed out prospects very quickly.", "replies": [{"id": "eic45d9", "text": "Where do you get the info to get through to owners ?
