Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsOne hell of a salesman! A few minutes ago my doorbell rang. Me: "What can I do for you?"
Twenty Something Guy: Hi! Im doing demonstrations for Kirby vacuums today. I know you dont want to buy one. Theyre really expensive. I get $25.00 for every demo so can I come in and clean a carpet or hard floor?
Me: We just had all of our flooring cleaned so youd be wasting you time.
TSG: Well, can I get your name so I can say you got a demo?
Me: No!
TSG: Okay! Have a blessed day.

I sold Look magazine for several years. It was a hoot and as you said good dough!
