In this episode of The D2D Podcast, Hunter Lee sits down with Jon Howkins — entrepreneur, sales coach, author of F$CK The 9–5, and featured speaker at D2DCon Canada. With over a million dollars earned in his door-to-door career across Canada, the U.S., and even New Zealand, Jon has transformed his sales expertise into powerful lessons for commission earners everywhere.

Jon reveals how his Milestone Mapping System helps reps break impossible goals into achievable steps while reinforcing habits, rewards, and accountability that fuel long-term success. Beyond sales tactics, Jon emphasizes the deeper identity shifts reps must make to unlock growth — from aligning values with daily actions to recommitting to integrity and building habits that actually stick.

New or struggling reps will find Jon’s insights especially valuable. He shares how personal development, mindset management, and accountability aren’t “extras” in sales — they are the foundation of sustainable performance. Listeners will walk away with practical frameworks for self-leadership, habit-building, and creating a sales identity that attracts consistent results.


You’ll find answers to key questions such as:

  • How can milestone mapping help me hit ambitious sales goals without burning out?
  • What daily habits separate top reps from average door-to-door salespeople?
  • How can identity shifts improve retention, consistency, and results in D2D sales?
  • Why is integrity essential for closing deals and building trust in the field?
  • What role does accountability play in keeping reps on track all summer long?
