What does it really take to hit a Golden Door in alarms—not once, but three times? In this episode, we sit down with Sebastian Bower, an elite D2D veteran who’s sold over 1,600 accounts since 2018 without ever jumping industries. He’s proof that staying the course, sharpening your edge, and refusing to fold under pressure is the true path to elite performance.

Sebastian’s not selling solar, insurance, or grass. He’s still in alarms—and still dominating. In fact, his biggest leap came when he stripped things down, went solo, and made it personal. He stopped working hard enough and started working to prove what he was capable of.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ Why most reps underestimate how far they can push—and how to test your limits
✅ How going solo and taking full ownership changed Sebastian’s game
✅ Why mastery (not bouncing around) is the key to long-term income and credibility
✅ How to turn “one hard month” into a permanent level-up
✅ What reps overlook when they chase shiny objects—and why consistency still wins

🔍 Spoiler alert: It’s not about being the smartest, flashiest, or loudest rep—it’s about being the one who stays in the fight, long after others tapped out. The episode unpacks exactly how.

Let’s talk about what it really takes to hit 1,000+ serviced accounts in one year. In this episode, we sit down with Wendy Jones, a 2024 Golden Door Award winner in pest control who sold 1,041 accounts in just 10 months—all while staying in one market and knocking every day. Her story is a masterclass in commitment, sacrifice, and mental discipline.

Wendy didn’t come out the gates swinging. In fact, she didn’t close her first deal until day three. But she made a decision early on—to finish the summer no matter what. That mindset didn’t just carry her through one tough summer—it became the engine for an entire year of production. She shares what it really felt like to miss family events, turn down international trips, and keep going even when sick. And the best part? She tells you how you can do it too.

💥 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

✔️ The mindset shift Wendy made to go from rookie to Golden Door

✔️ What she tells every first-year rep about setting goals (and actually hitting them)

✔️ How she pushed through fear, fatigue, and rejection—day after day

✔️ Why consistency beats intensity—and what that looks like on the doors

In this episode of The D2D Podcast, Sam Taggart sits down with Riley Traveller, CEO of Boundless, to unpack what it really takes to build and scale a winning door-to-door company—especially when things get messy.

Riley has been in the game since the early SolarCity days. He opens up about the silent killer of scaling too fast, how abandoning their identity as creators nearly sank his business, and what turning things around really looked like: shutting down marketing spend, cutting overhead, and going back to the basics—door to door.

You’ll hear how Boundless went from bleeding $200k/month and $8M in debt to rebuilding profitably in under a year. Riley shares powerful insights for owners chasing growth, and why the illusion of control fades the bigger you scale. His biggest lesson? Influence beats control, but it also demands alignment, intention, and leadership at every level.

This one’s a masterclass in staying scrappy, sharpening your edge, and leading with real grit when the numbers don’t look good.

You’ll find answers to key questions such as:
🔹 What’s the cost of scaling too fast without a strong foundation?
🔹 How do you rebuild a setter-closer model when margins collapse?
🔹 Why do great business models still fail without culture alignment?
🔹 What does Elon Musk’s Twitter playbook teach D2D leaders?
🔹 How can business owners pivot without losing momentum?

In this episode, we sit down with Rubin Sarafinchan, a 2024 Golden Door Award winner who racked up over 300 closed deals in just eight months selling paintless dent repair (PDR)—all while building and leading a team of elite reps across storm-hit cities.

Rubin didn’t start with a sales script. He started with grit. From vacuum sales to leadership in insurance, and now dominating in hail damage repair, Rubin’s journey is a masterclass in discipline, accountability, and owning your calendar.

💥 Top 3 Reasons You Can’t Miss This Episode:

✅ Rubin breaks down why "110% effort is the standard—not the goal" and how sleep, food, and structure play into sales stamina.

✅ Hear why he says, “Burn the bridges. If you’re going to do this, do it.” He made more in 8 months than in years of 9-to-5.

✅ Learn Rubin’s 3-in-1 objection-busting rule: Connect with either their kids, pets, or cars. He doesn’t pitch—he builds trust.

💭 This episode doesn’t give you fluff. It gives you the mentality and habits to actually go earn that Golden Door. No “might.” No “almost.” Just proven leadership and field-tested systems you can steal today.

What makes a top-performing rep truly unstoppable? Carlos Morales reveals how ‘simplify and execute’ became his secret weapon—taking him from a failed first month to 29 deals in 30 days.

Carlos Morales is the co-founder of Pacific United Power and Real Sales Dynamics, the largest YouTube and TikTok channel in solar sales. Known for his no-fluff, all-results training style, Carlos has closed over 1,000 deals and led high-performance sales blitzes across multiple states, generating hundreds of installs in just days. In this episode, Carlos unpacks his unexpected journey from child protective services investigator to solar industry leader—and how being coachable, consistent, and humble helped him master the art of door-to-door.

In this conversation, Sam and Carlos discuss:

• Carlos’s unexpected journey from child protective services investigator to one of the top solar sales leaders in the U.S.—and how he turned adversity into a superpower.
• The power of simplification in sales training and why most reps fail because they overcomplicate what should be instinctive.
• How Real Sales Dynamics became the largest solar sales channel.
• Why blitzes have become the future of solar sales, and how Carlos builds high-performing teams that generate over 100 installs in 10 days.
  The two traits that matter more than experience—and why ego is the enemy of performance.
  Why the top 1% in door-to-door sales are not only great closers, but genuinely enjoyable people to be around—and how that energy translates into results.
