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

462: What Nearly Broke This 8-Figure Door-to-Door Business—And How They Turned It Around | The D2D Podcast


Listen Later

In this episode of The D2D Podcast, Sam Taggart sits down with Riley Traveller, CEO of Boundless, to unpack what it really takes to build and scale a winning door-to-door company—especially when things get messy.

Riley has been in the game since the early SolarCity days. He opens up about the silent killer of scaling too fast, how abandoning their identity as creators nearly sank his business, and what turning things around really looked like: shutting down marketing spend, cutting overhead, and going back to the basics—door to door.

You’ll hear how Boundless went from bleeding $200k/month and $8M in debt to rebuilding profitably in under a year. Riley shares powerful insights for owners chasing growth, and why the illusion of control fades the bigger you scale. His biggest lesson? Influence beats control, but it also demands alignment, intention, and leadership at every level.

This one’s a masterclass in staying scrappy, sharpening your edge, and leading with real grit when the numbers don’t look good.

You’ll find answers to key questions such as:
 
🔹 What’s the cost of scaling too fast without a strong foundation?
 🔹 How do you rebuild a setter-closer model when margins collapse?
 🔹 Why do great business models still fail without culture alignment?
 🔹 What does Elon Musk’s Twitter playbook teach D2D leaders?
 🔹 How can business owners pivot without losing momentum?
