Quite interesting to hear a positive perception of the job I guess. I had the misfortune of having a group of charity salespeople outside where I work a couple of weeks ago and for five days in a row all I heard and saw was their smarmy intros, poncey hairstyles and fashion, cheesy grins and elaborated elbow bumps with passers by. In one way I admired their resolve to do that on their feet for 9 hours a day, scraping by on commission and still going after getting told to **** off fifty times a day. In a much greater way I thought it was a really sad way to earn a living and they seemed like they'd be insufferable in any sort of social setting

I know that's different to being a door to door salesperson but would imagine it's all a similar gig. Maybe I'm being harsh though because, whatever their methods and motivations, maybe the charity wouldn't survive without employees like that out there securing donations
