I start the day meeting clubs/organizations at 7am-9am. I then focus on 3 or 4 solid streets each day and hitting every door between 9am - 1:30pm. Then I begin again at 3:30pm and go back through the same neighborhoods hitting all the doors that I received no answer during the first part of the day until the sun goes down (7-7:30). The rest of the night is devoted to planning the next day, thank you cards, etc. That's two hours of club/organization time, eight to eight & a half of pure, uninterrupted cold knocking time, and another hour or two after that of administrative/misc work. I do this 6 days per week with Sundays off but still doing a little "work related" stuff. Fortunately, I'm single with no kids. My hat’s off to those who are in this line of work with a family!<?: prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /> <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Prospecting SBO's is not my forte and, in my opinion, gets in the way of where I truly excel...neighborhoods. Today was good. Two people going into my top 10 with one asking me to get back with him in about 30 days. I said I'd stop by in a few weeks to say hi and give him a call a few weeks after that to let him know what I find for him. He seemed pleased to hear me say that.

The weather also didn't help. It was storming and pouring for a good 2 hours today in SW Missouri. Long live the 500 day war! I'm fighting to the death!
