Our story started with a simple truth: the truth that today change is the one true constant. The truth that ever-changing technology, human behaviour and expectations have reshaped the way we live with brands, forever.

Brand equity is no longer enough for brands to secure meaningful, long-term relationships with people in this smart, connected, hands-on world. Rather, the real value of this equity is only realised when it results in an action.

Brands can no longer afford to stop at inspiring a thought or feeling in a person. They have to dig deeper. They have to find those magical, coincidental moments where they can inherently inspire an action in a person – an action that shifts human behaviour and pivots a person’s relationship with the brand.

We understand how hard brands work to build equity in a consumer-empowered world, but we also understand how hard consumers have to work to feel like they’ve made the decision that’s right for them.

So we treat this process of transforming brand equity into action with the utmost respect and empathy on both sides. We cherish the equity the brand has created and the opportunity we uncover to create meaningful action.

That’s why we believe in inspiring people to buy well.

We want to inspire people. We want people to make the decision that is right for them, a decision that makes them happy, not one that they later repent. We are NOT here to force or trick people into making a decision. We are here to stay true to the brand and inspire people’s decisions through the power of creativity – more specifically; through our beloved ‘Pivotal Ideas’.

Door-to-door marketing is a canvassing technique that is generally used for sales, marketing, advertising, or campaigning, in which the person or persons walk from the door of one house to the door of another, trying to sell or advertise a product or service to the general public or gather information. People who use this sales approach are often called traveling salesmen, or the archaic name drummer, to “drum up” business. This technique is also sometimes called direct sales. A variant of this involves cold calling first, when another sales representative attempts to gain agreement that a salesperson should visit.

With the realization of telephone “Do Not Call” lists it is becoming increasingly more difficult to connect with consumers and business people. An emerging trend is the deployment of very professional, highly skilled door-to-door canvassers to drive product sales and brand awareness.

Coordinating, training and motivating these teams to produce results are at the very core of Fulcrum’s proven capabilities. Fulcrum has the knowledge and experience required to implement these programs, such as best days and times to canvass, who will sell the most product; male, female, young or mature and what geographics and demographics respond best to door-to-door marketing. Put Fulcrum’s experience to work for you and avoid the costly mistakes of trying to manage these programs in-house.

Hire and Train Door-to-Door Marketing Team

If you’re in charge of hiring people, that typically means that you’ve found success in Door To Door Marketing yourself. You know what it takes to be great, but now you’re stuck with an entirely new problem. How do you find others who will be just as good (if not better) and will stick around and grow into important influencers invested in the long term growth of the company? A great D2D sales company is a great recruiting company. So what does that greatness look like?

First off, you need to realize that you’re not going to hire a superstar every time. If you think you have found one, be careful. It’s not hard for someone to seem golden during one interview and you don’t want to be fooled.

Even if you think the candidate does have a lot of great experience working in the field for other companies, you have to realize that success doesn’t always translate. What worked for them at previous companies probably won’t work as well for you. In fact, their success will probably make them stubborn; after all, what reason do they have to follow your approach when they’ve figured out their own?

It’s also possible that the rep’s previous company might have had much better-developed training and selling systems than you do, and that system was the key reason they killed it. If you’re not developing a competitive system, what does that communicate about your company? The more dialed-in you are about a rep’s success, the more likely you are to attract and keep strong performers.
