Any one have a relative who was a door to door salesman?

Bonus points if they sold vaacums by throwing dirt on the customer's floor to clean it up

When I was in college, I had a summer job selling educational books door to door. I hated every second of it.

No but related it’s probably my favorite story of my mom.

Before I was born she was babysitting the kid up the street. The door to door salesman shows up. “Sorry, I’m just the babysitter”. So he leaves. By the time he gets to her house, she’s done babysitting and answers the door. They exchange a hearty laugh at the coincidence, but she’s not buying. By now, she knows what way he’s going down the street, so she’s tears ass out the door and quickly explains to the neighbor. All so she could answer the door at a 3rd house.

Ya never know your folks had a sense of humour. Now that she’s gone, I never wanna know that story isn’t true.

My gf's brother was a door to door vacuum cleaner salesmen for a bit before I met them.

Had a sales position at a company where I had to call companies that used box trucks and try to set meetings to convince them to rent some from us.

Paid really well it but I absolutely hated it.

At least in that role we identified leads by sighting their trucks so we knew they used the product we were selling. Making complete cold calls to strangers hoping they want to buy something sounds like a nightmare profession.
