So you are the one that answers the Craigslist ads for door-to-door salesmen. :)
But, seriously I have admiration for salespeople. It's a tough job and only a few people have natural talent for it and everybody else has to work hard at it. People tend to unnecessarily scorn the entire profession.
I enjoyed your story.
Haha. I've kind of rethought my relationship with Craigslist since then...
It was so hard. D2D sales can be pretty demoralizing when people are rude, but I also sympathize with them not wanting to be bothered at their doors!
