Joe – you make my point for me – excellent observation. There are honest, hard-working door-to-door sales men and women who abide by the law and have ethics. And, there are more good ones than bad ones!

In my years selling books, I sat down with families who had gotten scammed by the magazine crew and it was always great to see them purchase Southwestern products because it provided an opportunity to show them an honest door to door salesperson.

I’ve encountered the magazine guys coming to my home over the years–I usually get to talking with them, and I’ve yet to meet one whose “approach” was real/true. The end (the sale) always justified the means (their pitch). Always sympathy, always.

Ha! You are right about that. It’s just a shame the bad rep door-to-door has because of the traveling sales crews.

I like the link between traveling sales crews and Pinocchio – very clever! It’s too bad a magazine sellers nose does not grow with each lie they tell at the door. That way, they would be easier to distinguish by consumers.
