Short answer: fiber door-to-door reps are usually paid commission per deal, so what you make is the number of deals you close times what each deal pays. At Pink Team, every deal pays $150 to $350. It’s straight commission, you’re a 1099 contractor, and there’s no cap.
How fiber D2D pay works
There’s no hourly wage in most fiber D2D jobs. You get paid when a homeowner you signed up becomes a customer. The amount per deal depends on the company, the provider and the plan the customer picks, which is why you’ll see a range instead of one number.
Because it’s per deal, two reps at the same company can make very different money. The ones who close more deals make more, and nobody caps it.
The math
Here’s what different deal counts work out to at $150 to $350 per deal, for a day and a 5-day week. These are examples of the math, not a promise or an average. What you actually make depends on how many deals you close.
| Deals a day | Day | Week |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $150–$350 | $750–$1,750 |
| 2 | $300–$700 | $1,500–$3,500 |
| 3 | $450–$1,050 | $2,250–$5,250 |
| 4 | $600–$1,400 | $3,000–$7,000 |
What decides how many deals you close
- Hours on doors. More doors means more conversations. On a Pink Team blitz day you’re on doors for about 9 hours.
- Fresh territory. Neighborhoods where fiber just went live and nobody has knocked yet close better than streets that have been worked over.
- Your pitch. Reps who know the product and can handle “I’m under contract” and “I’m happy with what I have” close more. That’s what training and ride-alongs are for.
- Showing up every day. D2D pay is a numbers game. Consistent days beat a few big ones.
Costs that come out of what you make
Ads rarely mention these, but they matter when you compare jobs:
- Taxes. As a 1099 contractor, nothing is withheld from your pay. You need to set money aside. See 1099 door-to-door sales: what to know.
- Blitz housing. At Pink Team, housing on blitzes is fronted so you don’t need money saved up to go. The cost comes out of your commissions.
- Your phone, and your car and gas if you work locally.
How to read pay claims in D2D ads
You’ll see ads promising $10,000 a week. Some top reps do have huge weeks, but that number tells you about the best rep, not about you. Before you sign on anywhere, ask:
- What does each deal pay?
- How many deals does a typical rep close in their first month?
- What gets taken out of my pay (housing, travel, equipment)?
- When and how often do I get paid?
- What happens if a customer cancels?
Then do the math yourself with the table above.
How it compares to other D2D jobs
Fiber deals pay less per sale than something like solar, but they usually close faster and you can do more of them. See fiber vs. solar vs. pest control for the full comparison.
