Short bio

Tim Mulcahy is a career door-to-door builder who co-founded Ontario Energy Savings (later Just Energy), a North American retailer that grew from startup to public company—proof that a D2D engine can scale to enterprise.

He now leads ONIT / Ontario Wholesale Energy (CEO; licenses and filings corroborated with the Ontario Energy Board) and in 2024–25 launched a U.S. expansion via American Wholesale Energy, per industry press.

Tim’s frameworks live in Sales Superstar—his complete, free training (originally recorded 2007–2008), plus Volumes I & II (Amazon). The curriculum codifies fundamentals like Creating Need (“No need… no sale”), Third-Party Credibility, presentation structure, and daily management rhythms.

Steal the Playbook

1) “No Need, No Sale” — Create Demand Before You Pitch

Why: If the prospect doesn’t feel a felt problem, your close is dead on arrival.

How to run it:

  • Open with diagnostic questions to surface a gap (bill volatility, security blind spots, comfort/automation).
  • Mirror and quantify the pain (dollars, time, hassle).
  • Introduce the future state (what “done” looks like), then bridge with your offer.
  • Only then present—keep it to 3 crisp value points tied to the gap.

Tim’s lesson Creating Need anchors this sequence. Pair with a one-page script and run 20 reps in role-play before live doors.

2) Close Like a Pro: Trial → Final (with “If/Then” Framing)

Why: Micro-commitments reduce pressure and surface last-second friction.

  • Script skeleton: “If we can lock the [problem] and you’re happy with [terms], are you comfortable getting this [date/time]?” → handle → finalize.
  • Source: Presentation/close methods across Sales Superstar; see also YouTube Becoming a Sales Superstar for delivery tone.

3) The Canvassing Rules (Field-Ready)

Why: Door discipline beats door volume.

  • Tactics: Walkable loops; time-boxed sets; “odd/even sweep”; log follow-ups same-day; finish with 2 wins + 1 fix for learning transfer.
  • Check out “15 Golden Rules of Canvassing” (Sales Superstar free tools booklet). Use as a team poster and checklist.
