A consistent team image and impression at the door are essential. This includes your personal style as well as your mannerisms. Whenever I have success on the door it is when I am knocking with someone who's just like me. If the lead likes us, they like us both. When there are two people with a style they like it's an advantage. They like you as a team. You cannot control if a person wants to talk to you. However, you can control the odds, people make first impressions out the door. And that impression can affect if they want to engage in conversation with you. The fact is that everyone has different styles and personalities. You don't want who you team with to be the opposite. You don't want the homeowner to have a different impression of you, than your teammates. You want your overall presence at the door to be the same. You want your image and the impression you leave to be generally consistent. That way it isn't confusing to the homeowner. They either want to work with both of you or they don't they aren't saying no to you because they liked you but not your teammate. Either way, it's a strong yes or a strong No. They're willing to trust both of you with their business or they aren't.
