What's Working Now

Sam Taggart is the CEO of D2D Experts and Founder of D2DCON, Sam is a man molded by door-to-door sales. Never having had a “real job,” he has spent his career selling anything and everything under the sun—from painting address curbs and magazine subscriptions to home security systems and solar panels. Having sold over 400 personal alarm accounts, finishing #1 at Vivint in 2014, and former VP of Solcius, he felt called to create something greater. It's his purpose to unify, uplevel, and bring honor and integrity to the door-to-door industry. Sam has consulted with hundreds of companies, built multiple seven-figure businesses, and created the most effective sales training program, D2D-U, which has helped thousands of sales reps transform into regular six and seven-figure earners. He is the author of “ABC$ of Closing” and “The Self-Xperience.” Sam’s influence has rippled throughout the industry, and he has personally mentored hundreds of CEOs through his private mastermind, The Circle. His major strengths are Sales, Leadership, and Recruiting, helping disrupt companies fast.
