Every morning, my business partner and I play a game we call “Good News, Bad News.”
We decide whether to start with the good or the bad, 9/10 times , the answer is, “No good news.”
Some mornings it’s brutal. Some mornings it’s hilarious. Either way, we are prepared to take it on the chin and get abused all day long.
It’s easily one of my top five favorite games.
This is a 1/10 type of day
On my mission, we were riding the train from Baltimore to Owings Mills which is a 30-40 minute train ride.
We started chatting with this man who said he was traveling up to see his adult son whom was in the hospital.
He had been doing this every day for months. He asked if we would give his son a blessing - so we got off the train at his stop and walked to the hospital.
The son was unresponsive from an accident he had been in. I watched as the father gently moved his son around to a position that looked comfortable. He applied chapstick to his chapped lips. He comforted him as much as he could before he had to catch the train back to Baltimore.
The son couldn’t show his gratitude. I’m not even sure if he knew we were there. His dad continued to show up every single day.
It is the most selfless act I have ever witnessed. The father has sacrificed his life to tend to his son every single day after work and every weekend. For a son who may not even realize he is there.
I reflected on that a lot moment over Easter weekend and the sacrifice Our Savior has made for us, even those that don’t believe or realize He is there.
Every year I have several dozen people tell me that door to door sales died in the 90's!
Every year it generates us more and more revenue.
This year we are forecasting that we will add $800,000 in recurring revenue from door to door sales alone.
It's legit. It's ethical. It's grown our business from $0-$2 million in sales in 4 years.
If you want to see exactly how we do it, join our sales conference over the next few weeks and learn!
And people are still unsure if my company is legit. Yes, we’re still hiring sells reps. Yes, you can literally make 20k, 50k, or well over 100k in just a few months. Also, we do a great job at pest control. We’re not just a marketing company like a lot of these guys.
I know of a group of guys who go door to door to sell pest control each summer.
The group of 12 of them will bring home about $900k in 4 months. $50k a pop for the rookies and $250k for the main guy.
These gents will make more money than 99% of people working on AI projects.
This is the year of content for King Pest Solutions.
Not sure exactly what direction we will go. Just need to be more online.

‼️ Giveaway Alert ‼️
I did a voice recording of a real door to door sale last week where I switched over one of our competitors accounts. (I switched over 8 of their customers in 5 days).
Cold knock. 5 minutes later they were giving me their info to create an account.

@TedBrogan5 @ByMadeleineA@ApexOnco To me there are a number of odd things about their reporting. Makes feel like I should still be hopeful about future data, use cases, or the the NCI study. There were so many positives from the trial you’d think $glyc still has some hope uprolesalen.
I recently talked to a 25-year-old entrepreneur…
who turned a $10,000 dollars investment.
Into a pest control business doing $1.2M Dollars/year.
(all in under 3 years)
Here’s how he did it:
In the summers of 2020 & 2021.
Wanting to make extra money. (like any other university student)
Casey took up door-to-door sales, selling pest control.
With uncapped commissions.
After learning the business, fast forward.
In March 2022, he and his cousin opened a bank account.
(with $5,000 each)
With an initial investment of $10,000.
They bought:
• The equipment
• Chemicals
• and flyers to get the business started.
A few days later, they hired a friend as their first technician.
With him & his cousin knocking over 100+ doors/day each.
The friend had one job: fulfill the orders that were coming in.
Doing everything from:
• Door knocking
• Spraying jobs
• Answering emails/phone calls
• and everything else.
They were living the life of small business!
Reinvesting all the profits into the business…
they bought their first Nissan NV200 van.
Not taking a dime for themselves until June.
They finally started paying themselves $3,000/month.
Saving every dollar they could:
• Building their own website
• Doing their own accounting
• Handling inventory and operations
• and a thousand other things.
At the end of the first 9 months in 2022.
They did $178,000 dollars in revenue, with 54% net margins.
Taking home $45,000 plus $18k in salaries each.
With 90% or more of their sales coming from door to door each year.
They doubled down.
Their door knocking strategy includes:
• 6-10 door knockers this year.
• Offering discounts for neighbors
With the pitch: “Hey we’re taking care of a couple of your neighbors. Usually, our services are $199, but because we’re in the area it drops to $99 just for today”
Closing every 1 in 10 doors they knock.
They’re on track to do over $1.2M dollars in revenue this year.
With 40-45% margins.
(After their first successful acquisition)
As of today, they have $600,000 in recurring revenue…
with their sales team adding ~$4k in new sales every single day.
They plan to acquire several small pest companies in the Denver area…
with the exciting cash flow of the business.
All of this, with just a simple $10,000 investment.
So what are you waiting for?
You don’t need $1M Dollars to start a business.
Find a need. Solve it. And charge for it.
