In this episode of The D2D Podcast, Hunter Lee sits down with Ty Dayton, a rising star at Avayda Pest Control and a top-performing manager already on track toward earning the prestigious Golden Door award. In just two summers, Ty has gone from rookie rep to running a $2M office alongside his twin brother, proving that leadership and success in door-to-door sales are possible faster than most imagine.

Ty shares the mindset shifts and leadership lessons that helped him scale his office, recruit and train a team of over 30 reps, and maintain performance when others might have quit. He opens up about the challenges of balancing family expectations, how to win over skeptics, and the importance of going “all in” rather than juggling multiple side hustles.

Whether you’re just starting out or trying to find your stride, Ty’s story proves that success in door-to-door sales is less about natural talent and more about commitment, vision, and the willingness to burn your ships.

You’ll find answers to key questions such as:

• How can rookie reps avoid “bageling” and build momentum every single day?
• What mindset shift helps salespeople go from rep to leader in their first year?
• How can you handle family or outside pressure when pursuing a 100% commission career?
• Why is it dangerous to split focus with side hustles when you’re new to sales?
• How can honesty and walking away from the wrong deal actually help you sell more?
