Cold Calling Apartment Managers for Rekey Jobs - Hilarious Flops with Kwikset Locks

Tried cold outreach to 20 apartment complexes this week, offering rekey services at $85 per door with my Kwikset Kwikset system, but half the managers laughed like I was selling snake oil. One guy in the office straight up said 'we got a master key already, buzz off' after I mentioned the 24-hour turnaround. NGL, feels like door-to-door sales back in the day, but with more hang-ups. Anyone got a script that actually lands locksmith gigs without sounding like a scammer?

man i feel that, cold calls are 90% rejection no matter the trade.

lead with a quick value prop like 'save 30% on rekeys vs full installs' and name drop a big client if you have one.

fuck these gatekeepers, they all think we're trying to rip em off till the lock breaks at 3am.

same here, been hanging up on more calls than i make lately.
