The D2D Funnel Calculator

The Half-Quarter-Half-Quarter-Half Rule — used by top-producing Texas solar reps to predict weekly installs from doors worked.

DOORS PROSPECTED PER WEEK (signs of life — lights on, cars in driveway, activity visible)

150

	Doors ProspectedHomes you approach with intent — lights on, cars in the driveway, signs someone is actually home. Not every house on the street. Quality over volume.	150
	Doors Opened (÷2)Half of your prospected doors will open. Someone answers. You get a face. This is your first filter — and the one GridKnock moves most.	75
	Opportunities Created (÷4)A quarter of the people who answer the door will engage enough to become a real conversation. They're curious, they have a bill problem, or the timing is right. This is where your opening matters.	18
	Sit-Downs (÷2)Half of your opportunities will agree to sit down and go through the full presentation — at the kitchen table, on the porch, or at the door with a tablet. This is where the 16-page report closes the gap.	9
	Closes (÷4)A quarter of your sit-downs will sign. They've seen the numbers, they understand the grid risk, and the PPA math made sense. This is your conversion rate — and it compounds fast when your close rate improves.	2
	Installs (÷2)Half of your closes will install. Credit issues, HOA problems, roof conditions, and change of heart account for the falloff. This is your real number — the one that pays.	1

What GridKnock does to your funnel

Top reps using GridKnock report moving their door-open rate from 50% toward 60-65% because they walk up with data. When you show a homeowner their actual 12-month Smart Meter data and a 25-year cost projection before they can say no, more doors stay open. At 150 doors/week, moving your open rate from 50% to 60% means 15 more conversations every week. At your current funnel ratios, that ripples all the way through to more installs and more commission — automatically.

Additional installs/month at 60% open rate: +1.5

Additional installs/year at 60% open rate: +19.5

Additional monthly income: +$1,500

Frequently Asked Questions

Smart Meter Texas is the state-run portal that stores interval meter data for every home on the Texas deregulated grid. Every smart meter records your usage in 15-minute intervals — that's over 35,000 data points per year per customer. GridKnock connects directly to SMT using the homeowner's ESIID or address and pulls that raw data to build the report. No estimates. No averages. Actual usage from their actual meter.

About 60 seconds from the time you run the command to when the PDF lands in Discord. The bot pulls the interval data, runs it through the report engine, generates all 16 pages including the AI door script and objection playbook, and delivers it directly to your channel. On days when Smart Meter Texas is in scheduled maintenance, reports queue automatically and deliver when SMT comes back online.

GridKnock works on any address served by a Texas deregulated utility — CenterPoint (Houston), Oncor (DFW), AEP Texas, and TNMP. That covers the majority of Texas. Cooperative and municipal utility territories like Austin Energy and CPS Energy are not on the deregulated grid and are not supported.

The report covers 12 months of actual billing data, monthly day/night/shoulder usage splits, a 25-year cost escalation projection, ERCOT grid risk profile, summer peak exposure analysis, solar production window, PPA comparison, battery backup calculator, carbon footprint, neighborhood adoption data, REP context, federal incentive summary, a dynamic NEPQ door script built from the customer's data, and a 4-objection AI playbook specific to that homeowner's profile. Pages 1–14 are homeowner-facing. Pages 15–16 are rep-only coaching.

Yes. GridKnock accesses SMT data using credentials you provide — your own registered SMT account. Customer data is used solely to generate the report and is never sold, shared, or stored beyond the session. Reports are delivered directly to your private Discord channel or via encrypted SMS/email to the rep on file.

Monthly plans cancel anytime with no penalty — your access continues through the end of the billing period. Annual plans are non-refundable after the first 7 days but you keep full access through the end of your term. No contracts, no cancellation fees.

The full 16-page report includes two sections. Pages 1–14 are the homeowner report — the energy data, projections, grid risk, PPA comparison, and neighborhood stats. Pages 15–16 are rep-only coaching pages that include your dynamic NEPQ door script with real numbers from that customer's data and a 4-objection AI playbook generated specifically for that homeowner's profile. The homeowner never sees pages 15–16.

When the report generates, GridKnock analyzes the customer's usage profile and flags likely objections based on their data — high bill shock, night-heavy usage, grid reliability concerns, long-term cost exposure, and others. It then sends those flags to GridKnock's AI engine which writes 4 custom objection responses tailored to that specific homeowner. Every playbook is different because every customer's data is different. You get the exact words to say, not generic rebuttals.
