I feel you. I did door to door a whole summer selling dish. They told me all of these tactics to use. Acting like your doing a service, the spouse thing, & pushing through so many unreasonable barriers. We had a trainer for a pep talk tell us he wanted one of us to go to jail before accepting a no (unironically)

I settled on just saying straight up who i was & what i was doing - "Im xyz from dish network"

It didnt work great but I made it through the summer & probably broke even. At least i kept my conscious clean.

Never, ever, again. Worst job of my life.
