Door-to-door isn't dead — it's capped. Gates it can't get through, languages it doesn't speak, routes it won't drive, reps who quit by August. Here's what the doors physically can't reach, and the phone team that can.
This isn't about rep effort. These homeowners are unreachable by canvassing as a matter of physics, language, and windshield time.
Still works where it works
Covers what doors can't
The operators doing this best don't pick a side — they knock where knocking works and let a phone team own everything behind the gates, past the county line, and en español. The phone half is the one that never quits mid-season.

They cover different ground. D2D works where density, access, and rep quality line up. It physically can't enter gated communities, mostly skips Spanish-speaking households, and won't drive rural routes — a phone team reaches all three and books the appointments onto your calendar. Many operators run both.
Yes — campaigns can run with native bilingual setters, opening the Spanish-speaking households most door teams never have a real conversation with.
That's the most common setup. Your campaign is live within 14 days — doors keep the dense open neighborhoods, your agents own the gated, rural, and Spanish-speaking territory.
An average of $2,500 per dedicated agent per month — agent, dialer, CRM, and daily management included — with 5+ qualified appointments a week as the managed floor. A door program's recruiting, base pay, mileage, churn, and management time rarely come in under that per productive rep. Full math on the pricing comparison page →
