Pull an uno reverse card. Walk outside fully, walk towards them, fully engaged. Immediately cut them off and speak over them with your own counter sales pitch, and aggressively provide literature on some bogus crypto project, NFTs, or something religious. Follow them to their car, tap on their window until they drive away. Don't try to argue or answer any questions. Meet their energy precisely. Fight fire with fire.
This whole thing reminds me of when my mom taught my girl scout troop about door-to-door cookie sales. She asked us, "What do you do if someone doesn't answer the door or says they aren't interested?" and we were all like Keep ringing the doorbell! Tell them about our sales prizes!! and she waited for us to settle down, made sure we were listening, and said, "If someone doesn't come to the door, you leave. If someone says no thank you, you thank them for their time and you head to the next house." Wish these guys had my mom to teach them a thing or two lol
I won't say what company, but I worked for a door to door sales company that had taught me a slew of tactics to sell things to people. One of them was "Congratulating the woman of the house for being able to make a decision by herself", telling her "her husband would be so proud of how she was able to make that decision." It's sick stuff.
@@awsome14619 Because they are lying. Like the company is going to be on an idubbbz video, see a comment from zachsdoodles and be like "Hey I think I know who that is! He isn't allowed to be saying that about our company. Let's sue him!" Mr doodles is full of crap
@@HerecomestheCalavera I do like to think that a background check is quite thorough! I'll extend an olive branch, it was a pest control sales company based in Ohio. I refrain from saying because my line of work still falls into the realm of that stuff, so until I get my doodles off the ground I want to ensure a solid day job by not treading on any toes!
@@zachsdoodles5728 I am in Seattle and we get door 2 door pest control every 2-3 days, and its not just my area its everyone I know. The problem is that they recruit people form states like Ohio, ship them out to WA state and send the out but it's so over worked by Door 2Door that there is no money left to be made so the door 2 door guys become super super aggressive and the home owners who deal with this every 2-3 days get ultra aggressive back, its all just a real shit show. My manager at work even got in to a fist fight, its that bad. All becasue of the people recruiting them in other states. The last guy I talked to said he was from Michigan the guy before was from Ohio. I tell them, this area is totally over worked there is no sales left to be made, you were scammed to come out here, but they ignore what I say.
The real sham is how they recruit you. Taking these young college kids promising them "hard work" "opportunities" to make the money they know students are in desperate need of. Then after they have you sign up they SEND YOU TO ANOTHER STATE where they control your housing and it's much harder to leave. The truth is very few of the salesman managed to get the numbers they claim when recruiting so they end up being able to pay you less than minimum wage to work insane hours. All under the guise of hustle, it's absolutely insane. As these young people get more and more calloused and desperate, they become less and less respectful.
Yessss I almost accidentally signed up to be a door to door salesperson bc it was advertised as a “marketing internship” on flyers left in one of my classrooms
This is exactly what happened to me. Vivint Smarthomes. I don't feel bad name-dropping them. Their sales team was corrupt to the core. If anyone reads this comment: please do not ever do door to door sales, no matter what a salesman tells you.
@@W1zardRyan Exact same happed to me with a company named Edge. It fits the description of human trafficking though obviously not as extreme as other examples.
I once entertained a door to door salesperson. My wife and I had been talking about getting a home security system and this young woman showed up selling just such a product. So I said let's hear her out. Shortly after she began the sales pitch she told us that she had to call her boss just so they know where she is for safety reasons. About 5 minutes later her boss shows up at the door, this big lummox of a man, and comes in guns blazing with the high pressure sales shit. Talking about how they have this great sale that ends today and I'm like thats cool but i want to do some research and comes back with you need to decide in the next 90 minutes or the promo is gone forever and I'm like okay time for you to go. At that point I think he panics because he blurts out "do you know how much crime is in your neighbourhood? Someone will rob you!" And I'm just like well if I do I'm telling to cops you did it, now get the fuck out. Never again.
real salesman have class and dignity- think of someone like Michael Scott from the Office- thats the sales person you want at your door. not some cringe lord teenagers or young 20s losers who think everyone is an idiot.
I run a home and commercial security company and I go door to door with businesses but never peoples homes. Generally business owners are excited to talk about that stuff. Homes usually come from word of mouth or employees over hearing me speaking to owners or customers doing the same.
@@kalalston plus, imagine how much actual time they are wasting. Not to mention the reputation hit from people talking to one another. All it takes is one of those houses to get on Facebook and warn everyone in the neighborhood of shady salesman in the area for people who might actually be receptive to change their minds. The wasted time too. 2-3 no's are enough, walk on with a smile, apologize, and keep going, then you can get to 50 houses that dont hate you, instead of accosting 20 who do.
Years ago I was recruited by a door-to-door sales job and I didn't even stay a week. In the interview they made it sound like it was less sales and more providing information for solar energy. During "training" the most disgusting thing was the manager telling us to sell solar to people who didn't have English as a first language and the elderly. I still feel bad about even being there to this day
I did door to door. It’s a job that requires grit and I’ve had people pull guns on me. That being said, I never continued talking to people who said no. I always asked if they had time to talk to me about my product. If they say no, I apologize and go about my day. I was also the top selling rep who got written up for not getting 3 no’s. They wouldn’t fire me because of my metrics, but it was always the conversation of, “you could do so much more!!”. The worst.
Lol, reminds me of a Far Side comic I once saw where someone supposedly threw a brick through someone's window with an ad tied to the brick saying "tired of bricks being thrown through your windows? Call (glass repair company name)!"
I once had a door-to-door exterminator come up to my house and ask who I had "to get rid of the bugs in my home." When I told him I didn't want an exterminator, he told me that one particular neighbor down the street had already signed up. Fun fact about that particular neighbor, he's a rather extreme paranoid schizophrenic. So this guy walked up to a paranoid schizophrenic, told him he had bugs in his home, and sold him a product. Just awful.
That is beyond awful. Unfortunately Pharmaceutical companies do the same thing to his sort by price gauging NEW experimental drugs that in all honesty have barely been tested and it is the desperate schizophrenic who should be payed for the data he supplies at check ups. Because like a week earlier they were paying desperate people without schizophrenia to take the shit to make sure they don’t fucking die.
I’m on disability and have a support worker help me every week to look after myself. I struggle to say no to things like this all the time and have a hard time recognising when people are trying to take advantage of me. To know that some people enjoy viewing me as an easy person to exploit is just upsetting and embarrassing.
These people are motivated by nothing more than money. Most of us sales folks are purely in it for that reason alone, because it is not a glamorous job. Don’t let any salesperson convince you they’re trying to help you personally. If you need something, you’ll find it yourself and order it.
That's understandable why you feel that way, but honestly they are trying to take advantage of every single person in all kinds of ways. It's just what they do, so don't feel so embarrassed. It's uncomfortable for me too :)
I’m pretty sure I used to have some mean replies on here of people saying ‘it’s easy, say no’ and things like that. Thanks to mods and/or Ian for deleting those :))
I used to be in sales. I recognised all the tactics the sellers use in this video. The thing is: these tactics lead to a sale very often and the seller gets paid handsomely. Which makes it so that they never stop trying. Oh I quit sales like 4 years ago and I'm now working as a counsellor for poor and troubled young people. So I'm redeeming myself one day at a time lol
Well, yeah. The elderly are the people who are least likely to turn down an opportunity to spend time with another human being regardless of the prevailing situation because they're fucking lonely and all they have to do in their old age is wait to die
The professional door to door salesman has already ripped off all his relatives. That's why he's at your door cause no one he knows lets him in the door!!
I accidentally answered the door for one of these guys because I thought it was my neighbor. The guy rode one of those Segways and tried to sell me on pest control for my yard. He used literally all of these tactics. I told him I didn’t want his service more than 5 times. He got super pissed and was super intimidating. I told him I like the bugs in my yard and he acted like I insulted his mother
@@NittyGritty420 But that is the the time and place. Scammers and swindlers rely on people being either desperate, or so irritable that they'll just give up and listen to what they say.
@@abbeybradley because americans cannot walk literally at all have to go with transportation device and/or doesnt realize it would be healthy for you long-term and/or way too developed country to have safety neighborhoods
@@NittyGritty420 you were 100% in the right to put your foot down. Where I live in Arkansas, I get Mormons, JWs, and all kinds of college students (I live right behind our city's college) trying to sell me stuff on a semi-regular basis. Most people are extremely nice and will be on their way, but you do get those 1 or 2 instances where it goes beyond "taking a hint," they just absolutely violate consent & the privacy of your own home/property-- and it's especially worse because that stuff can scare your kids, home is expected to be a safe place in their eyes. The main things sold around here are Avon, essential oils, and some purple spray that allegedly has SO MANY uses like defogging windows or glasses & cleaning surfaces lol. Don't let them drag you or your family down.
The "No Soliciting" sign worked somewhat. The handmade rug stating that we sacrifice solicitors to the old gods, not the new has been more fun. My husband keeps a robe by the door that he can put on for those rare moments.
As an internet installation technician, I often have to go to people's doors to ask to go into their backyards to reach their easement/pole to install my customer's internet. What really sucks is that people always expect that I'm some sort of salesperson since I'm in attire that matches my company, and they refuse to even come to the door or tell me to go away without me being able to say anything. It is a terrible standard these door to door people are setting, because it sets an expectation for people to not answer to any sort of person from a company at their door. I've had to jeopardize jobs over it, and it sucks having to explain to my customer that the person in the house who has the pole in their yard won't unlock their gate for me so I can't install their internet.
I almost became a door-to-door salesman once. I showed up for orientation and it was basically an hour long class on how to be relentless and lie through your teeth without getting the company in trouble for it. I quit the next day.
I could feel my blood boiling with every single one of these interactions. The most sickening thing is the entitlement and smugness after somebody has said they’re not interested
I do pest control myself, and I hate door to door sales people. The company I work for refuses to go door to door. When we show up to spray a customers house or yard, we have to knock and let them know we're there (so they can bring pets inside or unlock gates to their backyard), and because of door to door salesmen, people just automatically assume that's what I am and refuse to come to the door or listen to me.
as a person with a lot of time, i like to hear them out and let them finish their monolog, even saying yes to the points they make, and at the end saying no so that they have less time bothering others and so that theyre really sad
Scamming scammers… I love it. Anyone who says this comment is wrong or lame, are the same type of people who own and wear Grant “Car-done pillaged a couple thousand senior citizen’s life saving to flex to college kids” merchandise🙄 CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT WALKING PEN15 SCUMBAG HAS MERCH⁉️ I have had a couple friends who at one point had fallen under Cuntdone’s spell. One of them even quit his cell phone store job and moved states to sell vacuums 🚪 2️⃣ 🚪 bc of that grifter.

I was a door to door salesman in Florida for around a year. It was an interesting experience for sure. Edit: These guys are unhinged though. I sold steaks and seafood and if people didnt trust you they wouldn't buy.
@@liloreoinyaI was threatened by gun violence lol and the people didn't even answer the door. They found us getting gas down the road and started shooting off their gun in the air and screaming incoherently.
What struck me about this weird phenomenon is, they're just wasting their time. Once a person gets angry, it's over. No sale. It seems the primary motivator for some of these salespeople is narcissistic rage rather than money. Like they enjoy the confrontation, which is a dangerous game in America, especially at someone's home. People get real territorial. And so they should.
My grandfather entertained a door to door salesman. They wanted to sell him some kind of hoover/steam cleaner combo. Got him to "demonstrate" by cleaning the oven, the glass door to the fireplace, the kitchen fan and a bit of the carpets. He wrote his name on a list and never called/heard back. xD
I used to be a cold call salesman for a business phone, It was awful, seeing peoples faces go from smiles to frowns just by walking in. I was never the type to be really pushy and it made me super uncomfortable. I ended up making my first sale and didn't feel the spark at all. I quit the next day. After I quit, my boss told me it was because I didn't try hard enough, just such a sickening culture.
Hope you got a job that actually provides value to society and isn't entirely about harassing people until they give you money for shit they don't want or need.
I've recently started doing 12 hr overnight shifts as an emergency department veterinary nurse. The last thing I want to deal with when I'm sleeping during the day after a shift is one of these pushy fucks.

When I was little, there was a man selling meat out of his trunk who came to my house at night, while my sister and I were home alone. We had no clue who he was, we just saw a trunk full of some mysterious flesh, and him lingering around our driveway for an uncomfortable period of time, pacing around in the dark. We ended up hiding in our parents' closet with a knife until our folks came home.
I was unintentionally in door to door sales. The position was labled as "Field Marketing" and the interview sounded like promoting the company was what we would do. First day of training, they tell me and my class that we go door to door "canvassing" home owners on our solar system. It was essentially selling without doing it yourself. Instead, you set the homeowner up with a future appointment to send the actual sales person.I learned it after a month and left a month after that when a police officer stopped me. I was desperate, so I tried to make this job work. When the reality settled in, I couldn't take it morally and quit. The actual office was also full of rampant misogynists who cared for nothing but the money they made ripping off home owners. It will always remain the job Im most ashamed of being in (even if it was only 2 months).
I was a door to door salesman for a month, and I loved it! My route was more often on the country-side, few houses but very pleasant and talkative people. Some invited me in for coffee, to hear more about the stuff. I had many good, long conversations with people! It was a good summer. Though in the end i had 0 sales. Made zero money.
literally these people are in a pretty cult-like group. ppl like gary vee genuienly make use of cult tactics (same for mlms, some of which also sell door to door) like the way their seminars go, the point is to get everyone super energetic and at a heightened emotional state as a means of manipulating them. theyre a lot more likely to listen to you asking them to buy their courses or whatever when theyre in that euphoric state and not thinking clearly. not to mention the way they blame you for not doing well, if you arent succeeding in this buisness/cult its because theres something wrong with you as a person, its not the cults fault. they control their members similar to how a cult does
Had the security salesman tell me what was wrong with me just because I told him straight up we weren't interested and didn't want to hear his sales pitch. Took me whole two minutes to get them to give up despite being upfront with them.
@@LuckybestOMGthis is really on point. I did phone sales with insurance, and unless you were a lead that had expressed some interest or just said they were busy at the time, my rule was 3 calls going to voicemail, 2 spaced out if the call was rejected, and if someone says "not interested"? Thank them for their time, and say you'd be happy to help if they might need those services in the future. Only time we ever called people who said "no" more than once was when they answered the phone yelling slurs or being absolutely horrendous to the person calling (hoping family dies/tragedy happens to them)
I'm sure the 3.5K dislikes were all because they genuinely disagreed with iDubbbz's opinion on door-to-door salesman. That huge amount of dislikes is surely all about the content of this video and not representative of a bunch of wieners dislike-bombing a creator they don't like.
@@PoorStargazer idubbbz probably ain't even in my top 20. it's just that it's annoying seeing a creator who's putting out fairly decent content getting dislike bombed over trivial shit that has nothing to do with the videos in question. i feel like if you wanted to dislike bomb a youtuber there's much better youtubers to dislike bomb (e.g. SSSniperwolf)
I’ve had salesmen try to come INTO my garage when I opened it with my garage door opener driving home from work. Trying to talk to me before I even get out of the car. I’m a female, I don’t know you like that, you’re about to get bear sprayed.
We had such an issue with them coming back, we hooked a sprinkler and mounted it above the door overhang, and you cant see it until you're already underneath of it. oddly enough getting soaked tends to keep them away.
only cool door sales person experience ive had was at my first apartment, one morning this older Hispanic lady came to my door with a plate of the most amazing looking sandwiches, like fancy bread kinda sandwich. they looked so good but i was 21 and had nothing in my wallet so i didnt get one, but i often think about those sandwiches to this day. its weird how something i never got to have can be such a strong memory but it is.

Yeah we had a solar salesman come up to our door and argue with me after I pointed out we had a no soliciting sign. He said he wasn't soliciting lmao. Every other salesperson in the area has done a complete 180 when they see our sign. This dude really pissed me off. That dude was also trying to say there's a state govt program affiliated with our energy company but I looked it up on the spot and there was no info on that at all from our state government or my energy company.
I remember when I was in middle school these door salesmen were going door to door in my neighborhood trying to sell student tutoring textbooks. My mom thought they were just normal people and felt bad so she let them in. Turns out they were actually child abductors staking the area out and ended up abducting a teen. I’d say never open the door for anyone unless you know who they are.
I had one come to my apartment door which was creepy af since you need a key fob to even get into the building. I kept saying no and tried to shut my door, but the guy was physically blocking me from closing it. I was lucky my dad happened to be visiting and scared the salesman off when he overheard what was happening.
That sounds like someone posing as a salesmen to break into your apartment which I've heard of in the past. That's creepy af sorry you went through that
I did door to door hang ups for some political company last year. Didn’t have to knock or interact with the homeowners but when someone was out in their garage or front patio and told me no or not interested I simply said no worries and have a good day. These people who act entitled when their on someone else’s property is cringe and stupid.
As someone in the sales world, this makes me sick. I understand the importance of overcoming initial objection to try and get them to hear you out. That’s sales 101, but there’s a CLEAR line between overcoming initial rejection and harassment. Also, my customers can hang up or block my number at any time. It’s a lot more of a hassle to remove a stubborn person from your porch. I can’t even imagine how that would make someone with anxiety or mental illness feel.

I used to be a door to door salesman selling broadband. I never forced a conversation out of anyone, If they weren't interested then they're not interested. If you have to force yourself onto customers for them to buy your product then you're a twat.
I used to be a door to door salesman, I grew a lot in my public speaking & view it as a very character building experience. It sucked ass tho so if you have better options don’t subject yourself to it
This is true. I sold door to door and it really gives you the confidence to do anything when you can be successful taking 100 no's and getting doors slammed in your face just to make a single sale.

I used to work as a door to door salesman. It was selling Contracts for a big electricity company. Man the way they brainwash you in to believing you are doing something good is crazy, it was Always the exact Same pitch and tone we used. I wasnt feeling myself anymore at the end of the day..
I did door to door sales for one day because it was the only place that offered me a job out of hundreds of places. But the level of deception and lies just went against all my morals and made me feel sick.
Yeah I took a sales job that was advertised as established business to business sales. I was under the impression I would be selling to people that wanted our services, turned out to be cold sales in person and quit as soon as I figured this out (so like 4 hours into my first day when they where like "okay so you'll be going out and shadowing so-and-so today" and shadowing just ended up being following him around making cold calls). But yeah the office was just filled with a bunch of sales bros bragging about who was the most aggressive sales person was and the boss was just from 25 year old frat bro with a large trust fund playing bossman. They did make legit sales and sold legit services, but they way they went about it was so gross I was definitely not gonna be successful there.
Honestly, I take the shadowing someone as "training" as a red flag on its own. It's absolutely NOT a random employee's job to "train" you, that's what the useless supers are for. And when literally every possible issue doesn't come up in the 30 mins you're expected to absorb everything, that's somehow your fault??? Guess I'm just not cut out for retail! ...And neither were the rest of the flood of people that kept quitting because "nobody wants to work these days". Yep, THAT'S the problem here. Sure.

This video really hit home for me, I had a guy try to sell me Vivint security. He walked from the road and sat down on my porch swing with me. This caught me so off guard that it left me flustered enough to reluctantly have a conversation. Even after telling the guy NO five or six times he was so persistent, asking me invasive questions and being very entitled, until I finally just told him to go away and he was incredibly rude when I did this. I have since put no soliciting signs on my house and I pray this never happens again. This type of predatory salesmanship is absolutely horrible.
A big part of my job is sales, one of my coworkers used to work in a 100% commission sales job. He told me that when you work in a job like that, it warps the way you think ab shit like this. Like, you get used to pushing as far as you can bc occasionally you get those sales after pushing 4-5 times. He said a low point for him was when he sold an entire stereo to a deaf woman so she could “feel the bass”. Unfortunately jobs like these can really blur the lines between what’s acceptable and what’s not when it’s your only source of income and you’re desperate
I work in sales, respect is the rule of thumb, ask why they say no, notate their answer, tell them if they ever have questions to give you a call, leave your card if they’ll accept, and leave.
I'm in the UK and used to get persistent cold callers from the same company who obviously thought it was amusing because I kept telling them I wasn't interested week after week. I was expecting them and just so happened to be cleaning a legally owned shotgun when I answered the door.

I tried canvasing for paid sick leave ballot measures in my city. I wasn't selling anything and it was for a good cause that I believed in. I reached high school levels of social anxiety in just a few hours because it felt bad to interrupt people unsolicited. It felt bad when they answer the door and are visibly irked and brush you off because, what was I expecting? I never volunteered to do it again. I don't know how someone can mentally maneuver themselves to do this over and over again.
You have to be motivated by money and/or a sociopath. Only person I know who was really good at doing this kind of shit was 100% self absorbed, very charismatic, and knew how to talk his way through anything. There are many jobs/skills that require a special type of person in that position in order for them to be successful and imo this is one of those.
I got a neighbors mail in my box the other day and tried giving it to them. They kept cutting me off through the ring doorbell and saying they didn’t want what I was selling. Seeing how aggressive these people can be I kind of see how they could have that guard up that much if they thought I was selling something. Ended up leaving the mail on their stoop.
I knock door to door for roofing replacement / repair. Some of these people really do even have severely messed up roofs and need the help, but you never know someone's situation. And its just not worth pressing people. If someone tells me they're not interested, I'll thank them for their time and move on to the next house with a damaged roof. Its not that hard to be considerate of others.
When I worked at TJ Maxx I was required to sell those credit cards they’ve been sued countless times over.

I appreciate the amount of detail and humor that goes into these kinds of videos. I went in for an “interview” for one of these places back in the day, and it was the scummiest shit, they talked about going into nice areas and just casually having a conversation with people. They got us to meet up at a coffee shop to discuss “strategies”, one guy mentioned how he just wore glasses and carried a clipboard and a fake badge to “seem official”. I got up, asked the clerk to call me a cab and waited on the other side while they indoctrinated the other poor souls. They were talking about the place they were going, saying how it was all people looking to buy “green energy” and I knew the place, they went to this fucking old age community with people who barely spoke any english. When idubs say these people are scum, that barely even scratches the surface. All this “take no for an answer” is honestly a front for what they really do to manipulate people. What I learned from that, don’t let them anywhere near you, don’t talk to them, don’t interact with them, and if the claim to be any made up position like the one guy (I’m kind of like the route coordinator”, to get you to “sign” something to show you’re not signing up with their service (yeah they do this lmao) and for some reason that was enough confirmation to enter them in this shitty contract. Idk if they still do the sign thing but yeah they’re worst of the worst and honestly the people who are “motivated” to do it deserve to get those threats of guns. xD
I just want AI to hurry up so we can get our Basic Living Wage and not have to do shitty low skilled work like door to door and call centers. I'm sick of folks telling me work brings dignity. Not all work.
I was working on my car under the hot california sun when two salesmen came around and started asking me questions. I was underneath my car literally sweating bullets covered in soot and grease, like dude im fucking busy right now, shouldn't you try and catch me at a good time lmao i told them in a stern voice i was busy, and one of the guys had the balls to ask "oh you're busy? You don't think you can come out from under there?" Like BRUH leave me tf alone im only 19 whatever you're selling i probably couldn't even afford it lol fuck those guys
It’s weird how they’ve evolved to be pushy and aggressive when the customer will think “Hey that guy was pushy and aggressive I’ll never do business with that company in the future” when in reality it’s about being respective, polite, while on their property to keep an open door and not burn the bridge with the potential customer. It’s business 1 0 1
The comedy they use might actually be a downstream effect of Kenny Brooks who was an actually funny door-to-door salesman going viral to the point of holding seminars. He saw it as a way to work on his standup routine while they see it as a means to an end.
What I do is, I open the door, ask what's up, and if it's some manipulative bullshit like this, I smile like Hannibal Lecter and stare deep into their eyes while slowly closing the door. I've never had anyone ring the bell twice.
these are the worst of the worst, be polite, when someone says no respect them and move on, do not berate possible customers. leave a flyer or card. simple as that.
I worked a door-to-door sales job for 2 weeks when I was 18, the whole experience was insane how they used so many manipulation tactics to structure their whole business, including manipulating their own employees. It was the worst working experience of my life and the people who end up staying in jobs like those truly are the worst evil kinds of people, you have to be a true narcissist to enjoy and succeed in that job.
This has less views than the video titled “Everybody Hates Ian” which is crazy because they are both a week apart, and the other guy is virtually unknown, and youve been famous for YEARS.
This video frustrated me sooo bad! Post graduating high school I had so many friends go to “summer sales”. These people drive me NUTS!!! I truly hope they trip and eat shit while going door to door
Pull an uno reverse card. Walk outside fully, walk towards them, fully engaged. Immediately cut them off and speak over them with your own counter sales pitch, and aggressively provide literature on some bogus crypto project, NFTs, or something religious. Follow them to their car, tap on their window until they drive away. Don't try to argue or answer any questions. Meet their energy precisely. Fight fire with fire.
That's actually fucking genius lol

"Youre a tough girl to get down here. How about I come to you?"
Sounds like an axe murderer. Id call the police if a salesperson said that
She just needed a blicky to persuade him from his ways.
This whole thing reminds me of when my mom taught my girl scout troop about door-to-door cookie sales. She asked us, "What do you do if someone doesn't answer the door or says they aren't interested?" and we were all like Keep ringing the doorbell! Tell them about our sales prizes!! and she waited for us to settle down, made sure we were listening, and said, "If someone doesn't come to the door, you leave. If someone says no thank you, you thank them for their time and you head to the next house." Wish these guys had my mom to teach them a thing or two lol
That’s not how sales works buddy
@@Topsealguy this
@@danielwolfe4169this nuts
I won't say what company, but I worked for a door to door sales company that had taught me a slew of tactics to sell things to people. One of them was "Congratulating the woman of the house for being able to make a decision by herself", telling her "her husband would be so proud of how she was able to make that decision." It's sick stuff.
What company?? 😭
Why protect the company?
@@awsome14619 Because they are lying. Like the company is going to be on an idubbbz video, see a comment from zachsdoodles and be like "Hey I think I know who that is! He isn't allowed to be saying that about our company. Let's sue him!" Mr doodles is full of crap
@@HerecomestheCalavera I do like to think that a background check is quite thorough! I'll extend an olive branch, it was a pest control sales company based in Ohio. I refrain from saying because my line of work still falls into the realm of that stuff, so until I get my doodles off the ground I want to ensure a solid day job by not treading on any toes!
@@zachsdoodles5728 I am in Seattle and we get door 2 door pest control every 2-3 days, and its not just my area its everyone I know. The problem is that they recruit people form states like Ohio, ship them out to WA state and send the out but it's so over worked by Door 2Door that there is no money left to be made so the door 2 door guys become super super aggressive and the home owners who deal with this every 2-3 days get ultra aggressive back, its all just a real shit show. My manager at work even got in to a fist fight, its that bad. All becasue of the people recruiting them in other states. The last guy I talked to said he was from Michigan the guy before was from Ohio. I tell them, this area is totally over worked there is no sales left to be made, you were scammed to come out here, but they ignore what I say.
The real sham is how they recruit you. Taking these young college kids promising them "hard work" "opportunities" to make the money they know students are in desperate need of. Then after they have you sign up they SEND YOU TO ANOTHER STATE where they control your housing and it's much harder to leave. The truth is very few of the salesman managed to get the numbers they claim when recruiting so they end up being able to pay you less than minimum wage to work insane hours. All under the guise of hustle, it's absolutely insane. As these young people get more and more calloused and desperate, they become less and less respectful.
Yessss I almost accidentally signed up to be a door to door salesperson bc it was advertised as a “marketing internship” on flyers left in one of my classrooms
I wonder WHY young people would resort to becoming a door to door salesmen. It's almost like all the jobs fuckin' suck! Thanks boomer.
Same issue is with a lot of low paying jobs. The workers have it rough, so they're pretty unhappy.
This is exactly what happened to me. Vivint Smarthomes. I don't feel bad name-dropping them. Their sales team was corrupt to the core.
If anyone reads this comment: please do not ever do door to door sales, no matter what a salesman tells you.
@@W1zardRyan Exact same happed to me with a company named Edge. It fits the description of human trafficking though obviously not as extreme as other examples.
I once entertained a door to door salesperson. My wife and I had been talking about getting a home security system and this young woman showed up selling just such a product. So I said let's hear her out. Shortly after she began the sales pitch she told us that she had to call her boss just so they know where she is for safety reasons. About 5 minutes later her boss shows up at the door, this big lummox of a man, and comes in guns blazing with the high pressure sales shit. Talking about how they have this great sale that ends today and I'm like thats cool but i want to do some research and comes back with you need to decide in the next 90 minutes or the promo is gone forever and I'm like okay time for you to go. At that point I think he panics because he blurts out "do you know how much crime is in your neighbourhood? Someone will rob you!" And I'm just like well if I do I'm telling to cops you did it, now get the fuck out.
Never again.
real salesman have class and dignity- think of someone like Michael Scott from the Office- thats the sales person you want at your door. not some cringe lord teenagers or young 20s losers who think everyone is an idiot.
No need for the lie at the end. Some co-signs don't need any spice 👌🏻
@@biggains1 that might be the fastest and best snappy come back of my life, I'll never let anyone take it from me.
I run a home and commercial security company and I go door to door with businesses but never peoples homes. Generally business owners are excited to talk about that stuff. Homes usually come from word of mouth or employees over hearing me speaking to owners or customers doing the same.
@@kalalston plus, imagine how much actual time they are wasting. Not to mention the reputation hit from people talking to one another. All it takes is one of those houses to get on Facebook and warn everyone in the neighborhood of shady salesman in the area for people who might actually be receptive to change their minds.
The wasted time too. 2-3 no's are enough, walk on with a smile, apologize, and keep going, then you can get to 50 houses that dont hate you, instead of accosting 20 who do.
Years ago I was recruited by a door-to-door sales job and I didn't even stay a week. In the interview they made it sound like it was less sales and more providing information for solar energy. During "training" the most disgusting thing was the manager telling us to sell solar to people who didn't have English as a first language and the elderly. I still feel bad about even being there to this day
what company was it?
Did they claim that the service was free since the customer was covered by insurance deductable?
Soft
I did door to door. It’s a job that requires grit and I’ve had people pull guns on me. That being said, I never continued talking to people who said no. I always asked if they had time to talk to me about my product. If they say no, I apologize and go about my day. I was also the top selling rep who got written up for not getting 3 no’s. They wouldn’t fire me because of my metrics, but it was always the conversation of, “you could do so much more!!”. The worst.
I think it would be hilarious to go door-to-door selling no soliciting signs
This is brilliant
Good prank idea, I could actually try to do that non cancerously and maybe give them money or a free sign lol
and follow the door to door salesmen
@@total_epicness6776 this, this is the cherry on top of OP's idea
Lol, reminds me of a Far Side comic I once saw where someone supposedly threw a brick through someone's window with an ad tied to the brick saying "tired of bricks being thrown through your windows? Call (glass repair company name)!"
I once had a door-to-door exterminator come up to my house and ask who I had "to get rid of the bugs in my home." When I told him I didn't want an exterminator, he told me that one particular neighbor down the street had already signed up. Fun fact about that particular neighbor, he's a rather extreme paranoid schizophrenic. So this guy walked up to a paranoid schizophrenic, told him he had bugs in his home, and sold him a product. Just awful.
In reality, you were the schizophrenic neighbor
How tf he know that tho dumb ass comparison
Mental
Bots using chatgpt is crazy
That is beyond awful. Unfortunately Pharmaceutical companies do the same thing to his sort by price gauging NEW experimental drugs that in all honesty have barely been tested and it is the desperate schizophrenic who should be payed for the data he supplies at check ups. Because like a week earlier they were paying desperate people without schizophrenia to take the shit to make sure they don’t fucking die.
I’m on disability and have a support worker help me every week to look after myself. I struggle to say no to things like this all the time and have a hard time recognising when people are trying to take advantage of me. To know that some people enjoy viewing me as an easy person to exploit is just upsetting and embarrassing.
probobly just assume anyone trying to sell you something at your door it trying to take advantage of you tbh
These people are motivated by nothing more than money. Most of us sales folks are purely in it for that reason alone, because it is not a glamorous job. Don’t let any salesperson convince you they’re trying to help you personally.
If you need something, you’ll find it yourself and order it.
Same lovely! 🫶
That's understandable why you feel that way, but honestly they are trying to take advantage of every single person in all kinds of ways. It's just what they do, so don't feel so embarrassed. It's uncomfortable for me too :)
I’m pretty sure I used to have some mean replies on here of people saying ‘it’s easy, say no’ and things like that. Thanks to mods and/or Ian for deleting those :))
I used to be in sales. I recognised all the tactics the sellers use in this video. The thing is: these tactics lead to a sale very often and the seller gets paid handsomely. Which makes it so that they never stop trying.

The absolute worst is when they prey on the elderly, imagine it could be your grandma or grandpa next.
Well, yeah. The elderly are the people who are least likely to turn down an opportunity to spend time with another human being regardless of the prevailing situation because they're fucking lonely and all they have to do in their old age is wait to die
I don't think the cemetery would let visitors that arent family to see my grandma and grandpa, so I can sleep peacefully tonight!
lmao my grandpa would come back to the door with a shotgun after the 4th or 5th no and my grandma would just slam the door😂😂 but yea
The professional door to door salesman has already ripped off all his relatives. That's why he's at your door cause no one he knows lets him in the door!!
Exactly! They prey on vulnerable people like the mentally ill or mentally handicapped
I accidentally answered the door for one of these guys because I thought it was my neighbor. The guy rode one of those Segways and tried to sell me on pest control for my yard. He used literally all of these tactics. I told him I didn’t want his service more than 5 times. He got super pissed and was super intimidating. I told him I like the bugs in my yard and he acted like I insulted his mother
@@NittyGritty420 But that is the the time and place. Scammers and swindlers rely on people being either desperate, or so irritable that they'll just give up and listen to what they say.

@@NittyGritty420 you were 100% in the right to put your foot down.

Most people are extremely nice and will be on their way, but you do get those 1 or 2 instances where it goes beyond "taking a hint," they just absolutely violate consent & the privacy of your own home/property-- and it's especially worse because that stuff can scare your kids, home is expected to be a safe place in their eyes. The main things sold around here are Avon, essential oils, and some purple spray that allegedly has SO MANY uses like defogging windows or glasses & cleaning surfaces lol. Don't let them drag you or your family down.

As an internet installation technician, I often have to go to people's doors to ask to go into their backyards to reach their easement/pole to install my customer's internet. What really sucks is that people always expect that I'm some sort of salesperson since I'm in attire that matches my company, and they refuse to even come to the door or tell me to go away without me being able to say anything. It is a terrible standard these door to door people are setting, because it sets an expectation for people to not answer to any sort of person from a company at their door. I've had to jeopardize jobs over it, and it sucks having to explain to my customer that the person in the house who has the pole in their yard won't unlock their gate for me so I can't install their internet.
I almost became a door-to-door salesman once. I showed up for orientation and it was basically an hour long class on how to be relentless and lie through your teeth without getting the company in trouble for it. I quit the next day.

I do pest control myself, and I hate door to door sales people. The company I work for refuses to go door to door. When we show up to spray a customers house or yard, we have to knock and let them know we're there (so they can bring pets inside or unlock gates to their backyard), and because of door to door salesmen, people just automatically assume that's what I am and refuse to come to the door or listen to me.
as a person with a lot of time, i like to hear them out and let them finish their monolog, even saying yes to the points they make, and at the end saying no so that they have less time bothering others and so that theyre really sad

What struck me about this weird phenomenon is, they're just wasting their time. Once a person gets angry, it's over. No sale.
It seems the primary motivator for some of these salespeople is narcissistic rage rather than money. Like they enjoy the confrontation, which is a dangerous game in America, especially at someone's home. People get real territorial. And so they should.

I was unintentionally in door to door sales. The position was labled as "Field Marketing" and the interview sounded like promoting the company was what we would do. First day of training, they tell me and my class that we go door to door "canvassing" home owners on our solar system. It was essentially selling without doing it yourself. Instead, you set the homeowner up with a future appointment to send the actual sales person.I learned it after a month and left a month after that when a police officer stopped me. I was desperate, so I tried to make this job work. When the reality settled in, I couldn't take it morally and quit. The actual office was also full of rampant misogynists who cared for nothing but the money they made ripping off home owners. It will always remain the job Im most ashamed of being in (even if it was only 2 months).
I was a door to door salesman for a month, and I loved it! My route was more often on the country-side, few houses but very pleasant and talkative people. Some invited me in for coffee, to hear more about the stuff. I had many good, long conversations with people! It was a good summer.
Though in the end i had 0 sales. Made zero money.
“People say no to things they don’t understand” sounds like the words that started every cult in existence
literally these people are in a pretty cult-like group. ppl like gary vee genuienly make use of cult tactics (same for mlms, some of which also sell door to door) like the way their seminars go, the point is to get everyone super energetic and at a heightened emotional state as a means of manipulating them. theyre a lot more likely to listen to you asking them to buy their courses or whatever when theyre in that euphoric state and not thinking clearly. not to mention the way they blame you for not doing well, if you arent succeeding in this buisness/cult its because theres something wrong with you as a person, its not the cults fault. they control their members similar to how a cult does

That sounds like someone posing as a salesmen to break into your apartment which I've heard of in the past. That's creepy af sorry you went through that
@@brockly6434fun fact: those people may also be POS salesmen.
if they stop you from closing the door, I would just slam the door and break their foot.
I did door to door hang ups for some political company last year. Didn’t have to knock or interact with the homeowners but when someone was out in their garage or front patio and told me no or not interested I simply said no worries and have a good day. These people who act entitled when their on someone else’s property is cringe and stupid.
As someone in the sales world, this makes me sick. I understand the importance of overcoming initial objection to try and get them to hear you out. That’s sales 101, but there’s a CLEAR line between overcoming initial rejection and harassment. Also, my customers can hang up or block my number at any time. It’s a lot more of a hassle to remove a stubborn person from your porch. I can’t even imagine how that would make someone with anxiety or mental illness feel.
try ptsd last time i defended my self it was a door to door salesman.... now those motherfuckers dont even get up the stairs and im out there with a holstered gun and plate carrier
Anyone else staring into his soulless eyes looking for ol' Jack O' Lantern Teeth in the background?
I used to be a door to door salesman selling broadband. I never forced a conversation out of anyone, If they weren't interested then they're not interested. If you have to force yourself onto customers for them to buy your product then you're a twat.
I used to be a door to door salesman, I grew a lot in my public speaking & view it as a very character building experience. It sucked ass tho so if you have better options don’t subject yourself to it
This is true. I sold door to door and it really gives you the confidence to do anything when you can be successful taking 100 no's and getting doors slammed in your face just to make a single sale.
I was a self employed door to door sales man when I was teenager.
Had a wagon set up with car washing supplies and would go door to door offering car washing services.
And of course offering lawn mowing services.
Sales is there when you are at your low as a human. Get out of it as soon as you can.

tbf there is a difference between sales and high pressure tactics criticized here
I think sales are fine...and can build character, but there are toxic elements to the industry the potential costumer is being pressured, and the salesperson is being pressured to use toxic tactics
These days it's a character deletion service because people will just shoot through their door
Actually insane that this is iddubz
Literally
how is this any different from any of his other idubbbz complains videos he's been putting out for years outside of that he might not say the f-slur in it now.
tell me the size portion rant was ANY different from this.
Bro turned into a content cop candidate
“Get off my property before I shoot you”
“I like your pots man”
i work at a retail store that recently started offering credit cards, the pain i feel offering people to sign up for that is unimaginable. i cannot understand how these people do this regularly
I just recently quit my job for just this reason
My best friend got stuck in a long conversation at the door where he eventually pushed his way into her house. I was standing in the kitchen with them like "what the fuuuuuck get the gun, girl"
I was a door to door salesmen for a bit, and let me just say it was miserable. People hated me and I knew it, so I got out of that real quick.
I am still a big I Dobbs fan I don't understand all the hate online and the fuss about him changing and developing a little bit of empathy and compassion as a human being

Always good to see a complain video. Speak your truth papa.
I love wasting the time of door to door assholes and scam callers in my free time. The fake friendliness slowly disintegrating into frustration is just *chefs kiss*
good on you! specifically for the scam callers, better you humor them so they scam less people
Careful with scam callers, they will make an AI version of your voice to ruin you
My father with early dementia was talked into paying $25,000 for a furnace in his house and ended up having to pay it because he signed everything and then realized what he had done later and didn’t bother telling anybody about it because he was embarrassed. I found out when I looked in his furnace room and there was an entirely different $2500 at Home Depot furnace in there
Wow that is crazy there is a good reason why door 2 door is illegal in almost all countries, in Europe in Asia, it is totally illegal for a reason. We should campaign to get it banned on a state by state basis getting it as a measure on the ballot.
I used to work as a door to door salesman. It was selling Contracts for a big electricity company. Man the way they brainwash you in to believing you are doing something good is crazy, it was Always the exact Same pitch and tone we used. I wasnt feeling myself anymore at the end of the day..
I did door to door sales for one day because it was the only place that offered me a job out of hundreds of places. But the level of deception and lies just went against all my morals and made me feel sick.
Yeah I took a sales job that was advertised as established business to business sales. I was under the impression I would be selling to people that wanted our services, turned out to be cold sales in person and quit as soon as I figured this out (so like 4 hours into my first day when they where like "okay so you'll be going out and shadowing so-and-so today" and shadowing just ended up being following him around making cold calls). But yeah the office was just filled with a bunch of sales bros bragging about who was the most aggressive sales person was and the boss was just from 25 year old frat bro with a large trust fund playing bossman. They did make legit sales and sold legit services, but they way they went about it was so gross I was definitely not gonna be successful there.
Honestly, I take the shadowing someone as "training" as a red flag on its own. It's absolutely NOT a random employee's job to "train" you, that's what the useless supers are for. And when literally every possible issue doesn't come up in the 30 mins you're expected to absorb everything, that's somehow your fault???
Guess I'm just not cut out for retail! ...And neither were the rest of the flood of people that kept quitting because "nobody wants to work these days". Yep, THAT'S the problem here. Sure.
13:00 is where it’s at man. Good rant. I’m D2D sales and I love these types of videos. There is some mad TOXICITY in the industry. Gotta stay respectful and you’re going to be more successful.
This video really hit home for me, I had a guy try to sell me Vivint security. He walked from the road and sat down on my porch swing with me. This caught me so off guard that it left me flustered enough to reluctantly have a conversation. Even after telling the guy NO five or six times he was so persistent, asking me invasive questions and being very entitled, until I finally just told him to go away and he was incredibly rude when I did this. I have since put no soliciting signs on my house and I pray this never happens again.
This type of predatory salesmanship is absolutely horrible.
A big part of my job is sales, one of my coworkers used to work in a 100% commission sales job. He told me that when you work in a job like that, it warps the way you think ab shit like this. Like, you get used to pushing as far as you can bc occasionally you get those sales after pushing 4-5 times. He said a low point for him was when he sold an entire stereo to a deaf woman so she could “feel the bass”. Unfortunately jobs like these can really blur the lines between what’s acceptable and what’s not when it’s your only source of income and you’re desperate
I never had a problem with anyone who left me alone.
This is the sort of idubbbz content I love, I hope you can continue to make these!
I work in sales, respect is the rule of thumb, ask why they say no, notate their answer, tell them if they ever have questions to give you a call, leave your card if they’ll accept, and leave.
I'm in the UK and used to get persistent cold callers from the same company who obviously thought it was amusing because I kept telling them I wasn't interested week after week. I was expecting them and just so happened to be cleaning a legally owned shotgun when I answered the door. I know it's different in the USA but it makes quite an impression on a know it all 20 yr old.
@@Luckipete if I call someone who says no I doubt I’ll be showing up at their house
Keep up the constant uploads man I know analytics show they’re getting less and less views but guys like me who’ve been here for years really don’t care about the drama your videos get me through my day.
I’m sorry that you enjoy this garbage.
I like the new iDubbbz. The comments section has been purged of the dross.
@@aarondavis8943I like the new idubbbz too, I think a lot of people went through a similar change to him recently. Or at least I did lol
Unintentionally joined a D2D deal because I was flat broke and lied in the job interview. Got let go two weeks in because I was respecting people’s boundaries and they said ‘you don’t promote the workflow of self’. 12/10 worst job ever 😂😂
idubbbz is in his lesbian phase.
My brother used to work at a solar company. They are terrible people. I met the owner of pure solar on fourth of july and for someone who claims to be doing this to "help" the environment, he sure did have fun buying illegal fireworks and setting them off in a forrest full of trees.
wtf do fireworks have to do with the environment. As long as its not dry it's fine

I tried canvasing for paid sick leave ballot measures in my city. I wasn't selling anything and it was for a good cause that I believed in. I reached high school levels of social anxiety in just a few hours because it felt bad to interrupt people unsolicited. It felt bad when they answer the door and are visibly irked and brush you off because, what was I expecting? I never volunteered to do it again. I don't know how someone can mentally maneuver themselves to do this over and over again.
You have to be motivated by money and/or a sociopath. Only person I know who was really good at doing this kind of shit was 100% self absorbed, very charismatic, and knew how to talk his way through anything.
There are many jobs/skills that require a special type of person in that position in order for them to be successful and imo this is one of those.
I got a neighbors mail in my box the other day and tried giving it to them. They kept cutting me off through the ring doorbell and saying they didn’t want what I was selling. Seeing how aggressive these people can be I kind of see how they could have that guard up that much if they thought I was selling something. Ended up leaving the mail on their stoop.
I knock door to door for roofing replacement / repair. Some of these people really do even have severely messed up roofs and need the help, but you never know someone's situation. And its just not worth pressing people. If someone tells me they're not interested, I'll thank them for their time and move on to the next house with a damaged roof. Its not that hard to be considerate of others.
I think what is worse is people who try to push lame boxing tickets on others...
The fact this popped up within seconds of me plopping right down on a toilet is too perfect. Noice
My thoughts exactly
Same here
I knew the cop slide was gonna be number 1 for that part hahaha classic
When I worked at TJ Maxx I was required to sell those credit cards they’ve been sued countless times over. We were forced to push it no fewer than three times per transaction, including to customers who already had it.
Might I add, this was while your supervisor stood behind you and literally marked down the number of times you name dropped it. This shit reminds me so much of that job lmao
Your new content feels deflated. Like the legs have been cut from under you. Where's that fire? What happened to you man.
His bitch ass wife doesn’t let him anymore, bro. Sad

i just recently started selling roofs door to door and all of the videos my manager asked me to watch are INSANE. im trying my best not to bother people and everyone tells you to do the exact opposite
Maybe you should ignore this stuck up youtuber and follow the advice of your associates.
@@PotatoSlices bro i dont like bothering people (not because of idubbz) but because i think it’s messed up to not have any care and consideration for my common man. and besides he’s not stuck up for making a video about weird salespeople antagonizing random people trying to live their lives
@@samthecowboy If you don't like bothering people, get a different job. You're just asking them if they want to buy their goods amd services. It's not that deep. Sometimes you have to ask more than once to see if you can close a sale.
Also, this uppity youtuber, despite all of his bravado online, can't handle confrontation in situations where he is not the "puppet master, in his own words. He also said he hates d2d salesmen so you shouldn't defend this bozo since he is talking directly to you from his million dollar house.
I appreciate the amount of detail and humor that goes into these kinds of videos.
I went in for an “interview” for one of these places back in the day, and it was the scummiest shit, they talked about going into nice areas and just casually having a conversation with people. They got us to meet up at a coffee shop to discuss “strategies”, one guy mentioned how he just wore glasses and carried a clipboard and a fake badge to “seem official”. I got up, asked the clerk to call me a cab and waited on the other side while they indoctrinated the other poor souls. They were talking about the place they were going, saying how it was all people looking to buy “green energy” and I knew the place, they went to this fucking old age community with people who barely spoke any english.
When idubs say these people are scum, that barely even scratches the surface. All this “take no for an answer” is honestly a front for what they really do to manipulate people.
What I learned from that, don’t let them anywhere near you, don’t talk to them, don’t interact with them, and if the claim to be any made up position like the one guy (I’m kind of like the route coordinator”, to get you to “sign” something to show you’re not signing up with their service (yeah they do this lmao) and for some reason that was enough confirmation to enter them in this shitty contract.
Idk if they still do the sign thing but yeah they’re worst of the worst and honestly the people who are “motivated” to do it deserve to get those threats of guns. xD
I just want AI to hurry up so we can get our Basic Living Wage and not have to do shitty low skilled work like door to door and call centers. I'm sick of folks telling me work brings dignity. Not all work.
this is the only moment ever where i thought to myself "good thing you can threaten people with a gun"
I was working on my car under the hot california sun when two salesmen came around and started asking me questions. I was underneath my car literally sweating bullets covered in soot and grease, like dude im fucking busy right now, shouldn't you try and catch me at a good time lmao i told them in a stern voice i was busy, and one of the guys had the balls to ask "oh you're busy? You don't think you can come out from under there?" Like BRUH leave me tf alone im only 19 whatever you're selling i probably couldn't even afford it lol fuck those guys
It’s weird how they’ve evolved to be pushy and aggressive when the customer will think “Hey that guy was pushy and aggressive I’ll never do business with that company in the future” when in reality it’s about being respective, polite, while on their property to keep an open door and not burn the bridge with the potential customer. It’s business 1 0 1
The comedy they use might actually be a downstream effect of Kenny Brooks who was an actually funny door-to-door salesman going viral to the point of holding seminars. He saw it as a way to work on his standup routine while they see it as a means to an end.
What I do is, I open the door, ask what's up, and if it's some manipulative bullshit like this, I smile like Hannibal Lecter and stare deep into their eyes while slowly closing the door. I've never had anyone ring the bell twice.
Oh that gives me a great idea. Just stare at their boobs or crotch and smile.
I’d ring your door again. I promise. Because I’d know you were full of shit and wouldn’t know what to do after that didn’t work.
these are the worst of the worst, be polite, when someone says no respect them and move on, do not berate possible customers. leave a flyer or card. simple as that.
I worked a door-to-door sales job for 2 weeks when I was 18, the whole experience was insane how they used so many manipulation tactics to structure their whole business, including manipulating their own employees. It was the worst working experience of my life and the people who end up staying in jobs like those truly are the worst evil kinds of people, you have to be a true narcissist to enjoy and succeed in that job.

This has less views than the video titled “Everybody Hates Ian” which is crazy because they are both a week apart, and the other guy is virtually unknown, and youve been famous for YEARS.
This video frustrated me sooo bad! Post graduating high school I had so many friends go to “summer sales”. These people drive me NUTS!!! I truly hope they trip and eat shit while going door to door
