Just got a job selling what seems to be a very useful product for local businesses to get more attention from people in the area through targeted advertisement. Cheap set up fees and subscriptions with a big commission as well as double digit percentages of those subscription fees for as long as the customer is connected.
Does anyone have tips for a door to door salesman with small businesses as their main clientele? When to go, what to say, how to present yourself, etc?

So you sell stuff to people, you get a percentage and the rest goes to people who work above you?

Yeah? I wouldn't do it normally, but this commission structure isn't something I've seen before. Basically, for every sale I make, for as long as that business is still a customer, I make $20 a month.

Fuck the door-to-door bit.

No, that's standard as far as subscription services go. He's getting a percentage of the business' monthly fee. It doesn't go to someone in the company above him. And in sales, it's very common that your manager gets a piece of whatever you sell. As long as the focus is on the actual product and not recruitment, this seems legit.

OP, Tuesday is historically the slowest day for businesses in America, good time to hit hard. I'd try and cold call first to set up appointments. It's a good feeler. Hit the ones that are receptive first, then start your second level sales on ones that said no by showing up in person.
