The past few days at work, I was asked to go on a "sales blitz". A manager and I went to tons of businesses to see if they had hotel needs and invite them to our open house. A few times I was treated as a 'solicitor', and even though I kinda was, I still didn't like it. There's no way I could do this for a living. I like to make people happy, and some of the looks I was getting when they found out why I was there - well, let's just say I wasn't making them happy. :)ShadowRun300https://www.blogger.com/profile/12135867148518005153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-33720520483022532912012-01-19T07:39:49.903-07:002012-01-19T07:39:49.903-07:00I have a lot of respect for Jehovah's Witnesse...I have a lot of respect for Jehovah's Witnesses, even though I do not agree with some of their fundmental beliefs and have had many long chats with local members.

Maybe it is my role in purchasing - I get several cold calls each week for something I don't need or want. Usually, I simply smile and say "No, Thank you" but sometimes my inner AH has to respond with something to mess with them. <br /><br />On several occasions, I have been approached by someone selling or pushing something and I will respond by trying to sell them something back (Would you like to buy some Scout Popcorn? or Donate to my dog rescue group?). That seems to put them off.agg79https://www.blogger.com/profile/08925069219602681862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-76851820294695860952012-01-18T22:29:35.513-07:002012-01-18T22:29:35.513-07:00that is I am sure some violation of some company&#...that is I am sure some violation of some company's policy.Dublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190409363173023079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-23538683688926761462012-01-18T19:10:33.402-07:002012-01-18T19:10:33.402-07:00"Get off my lawn."

One day she came home with us from school and I discovered I had locked us out of the house. As we ran around the neighbourhood knocking on doors looking for a ladder to borrow the little girl said, "This reminds me of when we go around to tell people about Jehovah!" Doh!<br />I'm afraid I like giving advice if I think it can help people. I don't give unsolicited advice though...but I do like to give it.Rebecca S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16409572371302109142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-30765177404057580402012-01-18T17:18:15.543-07:002012-01-18T17:18:15.543-07:00You know, there are very few things that get me go...You know, there are very few things that get me going, but folks who knock on my door with this are one of them. I even have a sign telling them to GO AWAY (nicely). Unfortunately, I pulled the "my dad's a minister so no thank you" card once and now I have a huge red target on my front door because they would LOVE to convert such a gem as myself.<br /><br />In the produce section? I'm 99.9% certain I'd tell the manager. We have a big policy against anything like that in most of our stores, even the girl scouts have a tough time finding places to sell cookies.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858511221598789469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-17045617651432162672012-01-18T16:55:17.405-07:002012-01-18T16:55:17.405-07:00I definitely could not give unsolicited advice.

I don't like to tick people off.<br /><br />My neighborhood seems to be an attractive place for the religious messengers. I've become skilled at scoping them out and "closing up shop" when they head my direction. I hate to tell someone I don't want to hear what they have to say. I will if necessary, but most of the time I just don't answer the door.terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510457113017189354noreply@blogger.com
