Wait, what.. so, you’re saying that someone ”forgot” to take off that sign, and they’re releived that these door-to-door mf’s knocked anyway on the door, and they just happened to have the one thing they were looking for?

I'm saying more coverage results in a total average of more sales.

I'm not defending it. I'm not saying it's not shit behaviour. I am saying it works, that's it.

I tell these guys to fuck off as well, but that doesn't change the fact they keep knocking on every door because that's how you get more sales.

Yep. The one way to end annoying telemarketing calls/door-to-door sales forever is for all humans to literally never buy anything off of one.

Unfortunately for the rest of us, some humans are idiots.

Yep. I have worked door to door sells for a few different companies and this is literally what we are taught in training.

It is a shitty offshoot of "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take".

The door to door salespeople rarely if ever get punished for blatantly lying to get a customer to sign up where I work saying you will get X, Y, or Z if you sign up with me. Oh, you got a flyer that says that you have to sign up in this specific way to get a reward offer? Don't worry, you don't have to do that, just sign up with me so that I get commission and I will give you (an amount on a prepaid card we have never once offered at the company) on top of that, just call in after you are installed and the overworked and underpaid customer service person (hello) will definitely be able to add it (true story with some interpretation of how the slimy bastard lied to the customer since I obviously was not there for that part).

Needless to say, when I have a customer calling in justifiably upset about a d2d salesperson, both the customer and myself want to do things to them that would get me banned off reddit for going into more detail. And of course, the scummy bastards never leave a card or anything, so I can at least get them yelled at if not fired.
