The D2D Podcast: The Ultimate Door-to-Door Sales Training Show for Reps, Managers, and Business Owners

519: “I Only Judge Myself on Inputs” – The Mindset Behind a Golden Door | Dallin Peterson

Sam Taggart Episode 519

First year. First summer. Golden Door.


In this Golden Door Podcast episode, Hunter sits down with first-time Golden Door winner Dallin Peterson to break down exactly how he went from brand-new pest control rep to elite producer in a single season.


Dallin shares:


How he went from slow first month to pacing for a Golden Door


The mantra that kept him locked in: “I only judge myself based off inputs”


His non-negotiable habits (no late starts, no early nights, no long breaks)


The morning and night routines that kept him mentally sharp all year


How he handled slumps, doubt, and the temptation to lower the goal


If you’re a rep or manager coming into 2026 saying, “This is my Golden Door year,” this episode gives you a simple, repeatable blueprint: work the inputs, protect your routine, and stop giving yourself an out.
