The phrase "by going door to door" implies the sense that
a person is asking for something or selling something, both of which can be related to
the meaning of the word "solicited." Also, the word "business" which is the object of
the verb "solicited" indicates that Michelle is seeking out business, or asking for
business. The only other reason for going door-to-door would be to do a survey, which
does not reflect asking for money or asking for business, but in this case, the person
COULD be soliciting information - in any case, it is asking for
something.
In the second part of the sentence, the clause
"while Brad contacted clients over the phone" also implies that something is being sold
or asked for. First of all, Brad is contacting people and the people are clients.
Clients are those with whom one has a business relationship and if Brad is contacting
them, the meaning implied is that he is "asking for business" or "soliciting
business".
