To add to the feedback of others, this was confusing to me as well. I saw repeated use of "call" and "calling," and understood that to mean using the phone, which was inconsistent with "feet on the ground."

Doesn't matter what you think it means - if it confuses everyone, just change it.

To be fair, it's actually quite correct, as in "to call on someone at their doorstep". That usage is a bit archaic, but the terminology is pretty standard in sales. I'd suggest rather than change it to something nonstandard, just clarify what packages may include with a bit more copy.

I second this.

It may seem archaic here, but it is standard terminology in sales to refer to a physical stop-in as a 'call'.
