Is FieldStacker a good CRM for satellite and cable TV door-to-door sales?
Yes for the street and the money — which is most of a TV rep's day. The fresh-lead knock map, just-sold homeowner leads, custom dispositions, drawn territories, GPS-verified team knocks, route building, leaderboard and 1099 financials all work for a DISH or DIRECTV retailer, a cable vendor crew or a solo 1099 rep today. What it does not do is talk to your provider: serviceability lookups, credit qualification, TPV and order entry stay in the DISH, DIRECTV, Xfinity or Spectrum system your dealer already gave you. FieldStacker runs the neighborhood; the provider portal runs the order.
Does FieldStacker check address serviceability or submit orders to DISH, DIRECTV, Xfinity or Spectrum?
No. There is no serviceability or footprint lookup, no credit check, no third-party verification call, no installer calendar and no order submission. Those live inside the provider or dealer system you are already required to use, and no independent CRM gets an API into them. FieldStacker holds everything around the order: which doors you knocked, what they said, when the contract expires, who on the crew worked the block, what you are owed, and what got charged back.
Can it track TV commissions, bundle spiffs and the chargeback window?
Yes, and this trade needs it more than most. Log the sale, record your per-unit commission and any internet or mobile bundle bump, then log the chargeback when an account cancels inside the dealer's clawback window — commonly somewhere in the 90-to-180-day range, but your agreement is the only number that counts. Chargebacks net against your total instead of quietly disappearing, mileage is captured automatically at the IRS rate for those long rural runs, and a quarterly 1099 tax set-aside builds as you go.
Does it help with the "call me when my contract is up" doors?
That is the single highest-value habit in TV sales and it is exactly what dispositions and go-backs are for. Tag the door with your own stage — in contract until March, streams only, renter needs landlord approval, no line of sight — and set the callback for the month the agreement or the promo rate rolls off. The door comes due on its own and you knock it warm, referencing the last conversation, instead of cold-knocking your own best lead a year later.
How is this different from SalesRabbit or SPOTIO for a TV dealer?
Those are capable canvassing platforms, but they are seat-based, sold to teams, usually on an annual commitment, and they stop at the map — your per-unit commission, bundle spiffs, chargebacks, mileage and 1099 taxes go back to a spreadsheet. FieldStacker is flat month-to-month from $30/mo with a 14-day free trial and no credit card, no seat minimums and no annual contract, and the rep's money lives in the same app as the knocks. Built for the 1099 rep first, then the crew. Check their sites for current pricing.
Does it work on a rural satellite route with no cell signal?
Yes — this is where satellite still wins and where most apps fall over. FieldStacker works offline: knock, disposition, take notes and log the sale with no bars, and everything syncs when you come back into coverage. Build the route before you leave town, work the dead zone, and let the phone catch up on the drive home. Combined with automatic mileage capture, the long rural day finally records itself.
