Default Have you ever done door-to-door sales?

There are a lot of companies that reel you into it and it seems like a lot of people have crossed paths with them. I did it for 3 months and actually enjoyed it but wasn't good enough at sales to male it financially worthwhile. It was commission only. I was signing people up to donate to charity.

This is actually a rabbit hole because these outsourced sales companies are actually quite culty in that they are pro toxic positivity, they get you to spend all your time with them, they suggest cutting off negative people from your life even if they're important family members, etc

Oh god no, I would actually hate to be in sales, any type of sales really but door to door or any form of cold calling would be soul destroying I think

Coming round doors looking to do gardens, gutters, painting etc I think is fine.

The only ones we ever get (although it's been a couple of years now since we even got one of these) is people from utility companies asking you to swap which tbf I always do if they have a better deal to give me

I've done door to door sales in my mid twenties and enjoyed it. I'm quite personable and did reasonably well. Also met a short term boyfriend through it from Southport. Fizzled out.

Sounds a bit intrusive ...
