How you do react when people want to sell you something?

whenever any salesman come to my house,i usually do not show much interest on his product.Because those products are not reliable and they are of new brands who want to establish their market.The branded products never do door to door marketing.I remember one salesman who came to my house for selling oxford dictionary,as it was related to my studies i showed som interest on it.He was giving four dictionary pack of rupees three hunderd.When i thoroughly checked the dictionary i found it to be pirated,and some contents are missing and the salesman told me that it was original oxford dictionary.And than i changed my mind and didnt purchase it.Most of the time people come to sell those items which either they theft from someone or which are malfunctioned.Now a days you can find people selling mobile phones at a very cheap rate and they dont give you bill because they stolen it.Electronic devices and gadgets are more oftenly sell these days by people.So i usually do not purchase anything from people because they are cheaters. If they are not frauds they should have company identity cards with them so that we can trust on them.

I feel uneasy.I don't like salesman.I want to buy something that I want to buy.Nobody can force to buy anything that i don't want.Sometimes salesman keep pushing me to buy their products although I'm not interested.

hi porcospino . It depends on what the person is trying to sell for I am a sucker for things like the lung association, and American Diabetes Assoc. but when its the Jehovah's witnesses I have learned to draw the line.they kept me standing listening to them until my blood sugar went too low and I went inside to check it and drink a glass of orange juice. I told them politely I was not interested so they should leave.Imagine my surprise when they were still on my doorstep when I opened my door. my son came out and said, maybe you do not understand English, my mom told you she felt ill, and please leave. I am telling you to get the heck out of here, now. they did leave. Of course my son did not use heck but I did here. He is not as much of a pushover as I am , but my hubby was the worst. He bought just about anything anyone was selling. The funny one was the babyfood plate that was guaranteed not to be able to be thrown on the floor.okay guess my baby at that time had not read the literature because he yanked on it and made a throw that might have made major league ball players envious. It hit the floor and broke into three pieces.

Hi Porcospino This happened with me many times but I never get annoyed, but I just listen to what they say and I will purchase if I really need it and I would refuse to purchase politely and send them. I don't speak harshly with any one because I feel that they may get hurted and I don't want to hurt any one. Have a nice day.

In my country we usually don't open the gate when somebody knocks especially if we don't know the person behind the gate. We talked to that person without opening the gate, just talking to him with the window gate grills between us. For safety purposes . If not interested and if busy, I just simply say no and thanks. Or sometimes just shook my head and go back inside. Am I annoying? . hahaha sorry if I am offensive or something. I think that is better than make the person talk and talk and then end up saying NO to him...

I would be quite curious about it at the beginning while at the same time feel doubtful about it also.Usually it will not be an annoying matter if those strangers are selling things for charitable fundations and philanthropic organizations,in order to give help to others.But from my point of view,it will be easier for you to conclude a deal if you wear similar uniform which will make your deeds more convincing.Good luck!Hopeing that your work is going on smoothly.

You and your husband are doing noble job. There are some people who dislike good work. But don't be discouraged. Maximum people are with you. If it would be possible I'm there with you.Good luck.

Not trying to sound nasty but I am always annoyed with people knocking on the door trying to sell me things. Some people try so hard to push for sales. I become aggitated by that. But I have to keep in mind that what they do is their job. I also get annoy the phone calls from people trying to sell or promote things. So when these people ring or knock, I am always polite and try and tell them that I am not interested or that I am too busy to listen. I personally don't want these people wasting their time trying to sell things to me when I know I am not going to buy. I would rather see them on their way quickly because if they waste their time with me, they are not going to get a sale. If I move them along as quickly as I can, they could be making a sale some where else sooner. My home is my home to relax in. I don't like being disturbed by unwanted sales people at the door or on the phone. I certainly would prefer catalogues or information sheets dropped off in my letterbox. From there I can choose to remove all mail from the letterbox. I can read it in my own time that I choose. I can make up my own mind if I wish to deal the company or not without wasting any ones time. if I sound horrible, my appologies. I will say that you are so brave for doing what you are doing because I know that there are mean and nasty people out there. I admire you for doing what you do. I couldn't do anything like that. I do the next step down which is delivering catalogues to letter boxes.

Dear Porcospino, Last time I do entertain those house to house salesperson. However, there are too many bad incidences happens in Malaysia whereby those robbers pretends as if they are to sell something like gas cylinder head, government officer etc. Once the door opens, they will rob those friendly house owners. Even though they just standing near the gate. This bad people will grab them, aimed a knife at them and forced them to open the door into the house. Some are conman who conned those housewives and old ladies. So, normally we would not entertain this people unless it is pre-appointment.

I was also exposed in selling anything for a long time and had encountered lots of funny, serious, offensive and interesting things. It's hard to convince people to patronize your product but as long as you believe, they feel your sincerity and you use them too it will be easier to sell your products. I am into direct-selling before -- shoes, cosmetics, fragrances, clothes, jewelries, chocolates and a lot more. I just enjoyed dealing with people and earning at the same time. In our country the usual door to door offers are promo laundry soaps, shampoo and baby care products. I was so kind enough to buy some of the laundry products but when i used it-- it's FAKE. There's a lot of fake promos around. I learned my lesson and no more buying on a door to door selling.

hello Porcospino, in these two year,it never happens that the salesman knock my door to sell products to me. when i was a student at the college,i have bought a denim trousers from a salesman in our dormitory,the trousers faded out after washing,and i just wore it some times.

I give them a few mins of my time if they look respectable, no matter what they are selling even Jehovah witnesses, if I find out soon that I'am not interested I politely tell them so.

I am very easy. I USUALLY DO NOT buy anything from anyone as they do not interest me. But it's hard for me when someone comes to the door to just say I am not interested. So I sit there and listen to them for 15 minutes, and I dont know.... Its just hard to say no right away but, i usually end up saying it.

I'm fed up with people trying to sell me things. First, my budget is tight, very tight. Extremely tight. So anyways I wouldn't buy what they offer me. But what I hate the most is when I go to the mall, I don't go often, I prefer smaller store, but at the malle there's too many people trying to sell you things, one after the other, you can't buy groceries without being stopped at least twelve times by someone trying to sell things. Grrr....I politely say no to the first one, the second and the third, I start growling at the fourth!!!

your job is so great job, i can get trainning through contacting with others, it benefits you so much

i'm very much interested...i don't get annoyed...i will talk to them ina friendly manner and if i'm interested and the product is really trusted, then i would buy the product for sure...if i'm not liking the product, i will say sorry, i dont need this...i never get angry on the people.. they are humans and they wanna help us.. happy mylotting..

Urgh! I absolutely hate it when people come to the door trying to sell me something ESPECIALLY when they are persistent and keep talking even if you have said that you are not interested.

i will get annoyed when someone wants to sell me something.the first reason is that most of the products are fake. the second reason lies in that they just talk a long time and make me annoy. the third reason is that if i do not buy the product he or she will become very unfriendly .this makes me very uncomfortable and make me feel that i have been cheated.

Personally I only tend to get people selling windows knocking on our door and we don't need any of that so I'm friendly but just tell them i'm not interested. I'm never rude to a seller but if I wanted to buy something I would normally pursue it myself rather then have someone come to the door trying to sell it to me.

I have never experienced that somebody knocked my door trying to sell something. But if it happens, surely i will entertain him/her like a guest. I would offer him/her some coffee or snacks then we could go to the main topic. If i learned that he/she is doing only small business just to add a little amount for their living, i will not try bargaining his/her items.
