This is your opportunity to highlight any relevant experience you have in canvassing or direct sales. Discuss specific roles where you engaged with customers directly, the strategies you used to connect with them, and any successful outcomes you achieved in generating leads or sales.

In this scenario, it's important to showcase your excellent communication skills and understanding of customer objections. Try to empathize with the homeowner's concerns and provide them with value-based information about Andersen products that could pique their interest. A positive and respectful demeanor can also go a long way in breaking down barriers.
