Should I knock on Doors? | Marketing with Captain Matt

 

Hey guys Captain Matt here, I want to talk to you more about some marketing techniques and things. So specifically in this video I want to talk to you about door-to-door sales, cold calling on the door. Now, I remember back when I was a kid that this was a very common thing, and even more common in my parents' age when they were growing up. So it used to be a guy would come knock on the door and try to sell you something, they get a vacuum, even boy scout candy, girl scout cookies, I don't even do that stuff anymore and I noticed that there are some companies now that are really driving home this door-to-door sales, knock on the door in the service business specifically and I know that it makes this big uproar on facebook groups and in the neighborhood apps, but I mean if it wasn't working they wouldn't be doing it, right? So I mean I know for me, I got one of the pest control companies simply because they knocked on my door. So I've never bought the books though when they come “I'm a college kid i'm selling books or magazines” never done that for, and then I think solar does it, and the tree guys “Hey we're in the area”. So it got me thinking, maybe it's something that I should try with some of our lighting, specifically the soffit lighting, which kind of suits everybody in every budget because it's just a one-time install. What do you think about door-to-door salesmen? If it wasn't working would they be doing it? Fox Pest Control, they do it, if you are in this area you know they're gonna knock on your door at some point, probably once a year. I was actually talking to them, so they are from Utah originally and the owners were Mormon, and so they said they were really used to knocking on doors and talking about religion. So, when they went to do pest control they were now knocking on doors talking about pest control, I'd imagine it's a lot easier of a discussion cold calling or cold knocking, whatever the proper terminology is on that one. Anyways really thinking about it but in today's age of ring cameras and whatever type of other cameras there are and everyone's just so on edge, especially right now with covid and mask wearing, it's like you see somebody coming towards your door and it's high alert, and posting on the group, it's doing screenshots of the guy posting them “who is this guy? He says he's with this guy”. Anyways I know a lot of it goes into that ridiculous territory when it comes to social media and people talking about who's on who's at their house, who's on their door. So anyways let me know what you think about it, and that's a little marketing with Captain Matt, talk to you guys later, bye.

The difference lighting can make to your interior. Increase your interior space with outdoor lighting?! How? Why? Captain Matt here with a little lighting tip to show you in the daytime the difference lighting can make. So a lot of times we talk about bringing the outdoors in so you have you know outdoor living inside. What's also really important, and if you talk to your interior designer you know continuing your interior to the outside makes a huge difference. One of the biggest things here to consider is that say you have your sitting room, or your kitchen, or your living room and you're sitting there when it's nighttime especially in the winter time. Once we have more darkness than we do light when you look out the window it ends, it's just a black window at that point there's nothing beyond that because there's no light. So adding strategic lighting out there to bring your eyes to something actually expands even your inside it makes your mind think that tha

Talking about the pricing process of getting Gemstones. How Much Does Gemstone Lighting Cost? Hey it's Captain Matt with Barefoot Lighting here one last time, in today's video I get to the ever so important question of “what is this going to cost me?”. Well in order to answer that question we're going to need to know a few things, mainly the measurements of your home, what kind of siding you have, what kind of soffits you have, and where you would like the Gemstone lights to be installed. We offer different options and levels based on your desires and budget, your biggest decision is going to be whether you do the front of your home, the back of your home, the sides of your home, or the entire thing. I like to help my clients by breaking it down like; this the front of your home is for the neighbors, and the back of the home is for your family, now that is a pretty simplistic breakdown but generally it's true. Now if you love decorating for Christmas or other holidays,

How I focus on happiness. Staying happy and learning what that means. Captain Matt talking about Wake Up Warrior it's a part of my routines and how I do operate my business. Another stack is called the happy stack, very similar to a gratitude stack or an irritated stack but on the happier end, a happy stack really makes you focus on some good things. Do you ever wake up in the morning and you just feel alive or great and happy? Maybe you've got a new plant,  little things like that excite you, or you got a new shirt in the mail, or something's getting delivered today and you're just happy. Maybe it's not a gratitude towards something, maybe it's just happiness. Well we way too often don't focus on that and we only focus on the bad things, and the anger. Well the happy stack allows you to kind of get out of your system, and learn a life lesson from it on how to focus on that happiness, and use it you know to live your your day better with a smile all around.
