Pest control
Canvassers who say 300 doors, and the map that agrees
Summer sales teams live or die on door count. Give reps a route and give yourself the receipts.
What goes wrong
The gap between what was reported and what happened
- Reported door counts and closed deals do not line up, and you cannot tell which number is wrong.
- New reps get dropped in a neighbourhood with no boundaries and overlap each other.
- Leads get written on paper and never make it into the CRM.

On a route
How pest control teams run it
- 01
Carve the territory
Split a neighbourhood into zones and hand one to each rep so nobody works the same street twice.
- 02
Capture the door
A photo, a GPS fix and a status: delivered, bad address, or no soliciting. It takes one tap.
- 03
Keep the lead attached
Interest level and contact details are recorded against the exact address, not a notebook.
