Door to door sales tactics yet again!
Many of you know my aversion to forceful door to door sales people. In fact I got into a little hot water last time I talked about this..... However it has just come to my attention that there are sales people offering free carpet shampoos. The whole campaign is geared to getting into a persons home environment to sell a vacuum cleaner. You may well ask, Carol I thought you said this was a carpet shampoo! You would be correct as that is what my contact thought. Lo and behold that was not the intent, they did very badly want to sell a $4000 vacuum cleaner... Yes you read that right, a $4000 vacuum!
My contact is savvy but it still took some time to convince the sales person there was not going to be a sale. Our concern is that there are vulnerable people in our community who may well feel pressured into making a purchase they can ill afford or need. So please be aware and let other people know if there are concerns.
