NEVERleave a stop undispositioned or skip a dead lead without logging a reason
ALWAYSstart the route from live GPS, not a stored home address
ALWAYSknock the neighbors when a property is flagged vacant
Why this matters+
Get boots on the ground at the right doors, in the right order, every single day.
Speed to lead beats everything else in this business — Franke's own $35K
assignment came from a same-day door knock on a fresh NOD. This SOP is how a rep
opens the route, knocks in an optimized order, and captures every disposition so
tomorrow's route learns from today.
When to use this+
Every field day, before leaving the house or the last stop of the previous route.
Also re-run mid-route any time you finish a city batch and want to continue into
the next one (the "continuation case").
Phone with live GPS and either the KOD field app or the route board open.
20-30 pre-filled packets in the car (sub2 + cash + novation packets, business
cards, testimonial door hangers, sticky notes) — the standard field-prep load.
Non-threat mindset: you are here to serve, not to sell.
How to know it worked+
Every stop on today's route shows a disposition by end of day — no blank
stops.
Must-hit (soonest-auction) leads were knocked first, not skipped for
convenience.
Vacant properties were flagged and neighbors were knocked.
The route never asked you to backtrack to an already-knocked address.
Doors math is roughly on pace: Franke's floor is 15 doors/day (20-25/day for
an experienced rep), with an expected ~20-30 conversations per 100 doors
worked over time.
If it goes sideways+
Route won't build / stuck on start. GPS is almost certainly off or
denied — the route requires live GPS as the start, it will not fall back to
a stored address. Enable location services and reopen the route.
A lead keeps showing up even though it seems handled. Check whether it's
a subto play — thin or negative-equity leads with a low interest rate
(≤4%) are intentionally kept and routed because the low assumable rate makes
them worth a door, even though the equity looks bad. If it's genuinely a
dead lead, skip it with a reason instead of just knocking past it, so it
drops off future routes with a documented reason.
You knocked a lead that turned out to already be resolved (BK, tax matter,
owner already handling it). Log the correct disposition (e.g. skip with
reason: already handled / bankruptcy / owner postponing) right away — this
is what pulls it off tomorrow's route and prevents wasted future knocks.
Notes or dispositions didn't save after a knock. Cell service at the
door can be spotty; if you're not sure a note saved, re-enter it once you
have signal rather than assuming it went through.
You're not hitting your doors-per-week target. Standard is roughly 35+
doors/week solo, higher on a team; if you're consistently under, re-check
your city batch size and whether you're spending too long per stop.
