Door to Door sales people

Depending on circumstances
Options are 1. I dont live here just looking after it for the real owners.
2. Or on the same lines just a tennant and so cant sign up for anything as dont own the property.
3 If it's a charity use an different version of number 1 and tell them would do but dont live in this area and if ask give them a false postcode and addy. never had to get to **** off or anything like they all go as no point in trying to sell anything to anyone who either doesnt live at the house or doesn't own it..


DONT SWEAR

Dangerous
 
now...this is a serious note. Please dont be tempted on your own doorstep to tell a door sales guy to 'f' off or simillar. You dont know what that guy is like . . . ive been tempted on a few occasions to resort to some pretty bad and shocking things to get my own back and im not talking about setting fire to poo on the doorstep and ringing the bell.

Comprende?

One of the guys I used to canvass with always carried a tube of Superglue to 'fix' the locks of people who gave him attitude.

I must say, it gets very tempting after constantly telling the fool you aren't interested.

The trouble here is that "the fool" makes very good money of course for getting his own way in the end.

Although you are not one of them some people do actually 'submit' in the end.

I think you would be very shocked at the sort of earnings myself and others can earn out of this.

I don't doubt you earn nice money mate, I dunno why else you'd do it :D I can understand why people push for a sale, naturally. It just doesn't make it any less irritating when you aren't interested :)

I don't know if you think I'm the type of bloke to open the door and just have a fit at you. I'm really not mate. It's just when I quite obviously express no interest what so ever and they still push, it gets on my ****.

So what would your ideal door to door salesman/woman sell?

What if they were selling beer and had free samples. :)

A nice looking lady giving out free stuff might make me a little more interested in listening :)

I seem to recall you can get a pack from your local police station with those stick-on/peel-off stickers you can put on your door, basically says something along the lines of 'We do not buy from Door to door salesman and are not interested in religious discussions. Any caller or person not known will undergo a lengthy identification process'.

If you still get a caller, ask for their ID and company name, then say you want to go and verify who they are with their company. Disappear off for 15 minutes and make a cuppa, then go back and say the company has no record of them.

i like that, i usualy say no thanks
 
Probably mentioned haven’t read all the replies sorry, but got to your local police station and they should have some stickers mentioning no door to door sales amongst a few more door callers, I will try and get a pic. Tbh it’s probably the best way to deter them.

i dont answer the door! simple as, they werent invited.

im sure ive mentioned this before on this forum but on the last local elections they were going door to door but me on the boyfriend were on our way out. we were in the car on the driveway, engine on and she walked over to the car and just opened the door!!!!! i was gobsmacked! she babbled on untill we told her we were only 17 (we're 20) so she was wasting her breath! i could have said some things to her then. she had some nerve!
 
I've tried a few times to sell them something of my own :D to be fair, i actually managed to flog a apainting i did to a door to door salesman.

Mine generally aren't much trouble, a simple "not interested at the minute cheers" surfices. My friends house on the other hand..... :eek:

He was about to go out when a door to door salesman walked up the path and as he opened the side-door to his back garden in order to leave the house the guy asked him if he wanted to buy some windows etc, jay said no and that he wasn't inviting anyone into the house for a salespitch and the guy does no more than walk through the doorway and physically pushed jay backwards into the garden. Luckily i was waiting in the car at the time and having seen this guy go through the doorway i was out the car across the street and into the garden myself to help him out. Now i'm quite big myself and 6'5" to match it but this guy had me slightly worried, i can't imagine what it'd be like for elderly people or a smaller weaker person. He disappeared when there was two of us, but i'm not convinced myself that he was actually a salesman and was just wanting to rob the place.
