I've been in your position let me off your suggestion that work for me if you don't have gimp on your computer get gimp GMP or gimp it's a graphic design software program in the cool thing with gimp is that you can take the background color from the brochure and you can lay it over the phone numbers and contact information right beneath the background color then you can type in your contact information so that is the only contact information on the brochure you handout and clients that are interested in solar panels I have half a kilowatt myself will call the only phone number on the brochure that is your phone number and when they call that phone number you can schedule a sit-down appointment with them so that instead of a cold call you will have a warm customer. Now instead of knocking on the door which people do get annoyed at what you do is you woke up to the mailbox or you walk up to the door and you simply put the brochure in the mailbox or you slip it through the slot in the mail door now this won't necessarily reduce the foot traffic you're going to have to put down you're going to have to burn some foot rubber but it will reduce the tension level in your sales and it will actually increase in my calculations your turnaround rate by about 50% and it will increase your customer interest by about 20% so try it out once you're in the door with the warm client for a sit-down meeting you can go over the details of the solar panel opportunity and introduce them to your company and that's how you close the deal I wish you the best of luck little bro

Thank you very much for the feedback! I agree with what you said. I'd have a higher chance of a sale with a warm market. So it would make sense to try to convert cold prospects to warm prospects. With that though, sounds like i'll have to make an investment in paper marketing or some kind of social media marketing. I've already started changing my marketing strategy, but i'll continue knocking until I have something that works.
I wish you the best. I have a friend in Albuquerque who sells solar panels and inverters and solar power batteries on Craigslist to subsidize his income. He is a brick-and-mortar operation that he purchases a case of solar panels at a time but it pays off for him he gets quite a lot of sales to Craigslist
