[RP TownTalk] door to door salesmen

[ABragg7393 at aol.com]

Years ago when I first got into real estate they made us walk the streets and 
knock on doors to get business.  Face to face contact they told us.....that's 
how you get customers.  We hated it. We would do anything so we wouldn't have 
to knock on those strange doors.  Obviously some sales companies still make 
their salespeople do this.  The Honeywell man came to my door too.  Simon 
looked him in the eye and said "no Thankyou" and away he went.  We didn't make the 
dogs bark at him.  He's just a guy trying to make a living.  Any salesman 
knows that.  I personally feel sorry for the guy.  Not sorry enough to buy a 
system, but I do feel sorry.  All the alarm companies offer "free" stuff.  
Certainly no one would also pay your monthly fee.  Many companies use this come on.  
Now if we can just take all this energy and turn it into getting the streets 
and sidewalks cleaned up........I LOVE my neighbors!
