I live in bfe on a 6 mile road with 4 houses on it. Why would guys be way out here in the middle of a week day tying to sell meat when most people aren't home? If your job is a salesman then why wast time being 20 miles from town? Sure, I may have been rude but I also won't be an easy victim

A good salesman doesnt stay on the same roads that every other salesman out there goes on as well. You cant be afraid to turn down a random road and see whats there.

One of the best sales of my career happened bc I was ready to head in for the day and stopped in at a building I had passed 3-4 times a week for 2+ years. I always passed it heading to and from a heavy industrial area of town and never thought twice about stopping. I stopped in and when I went through the doors of their shop, it was like I hit a goldmine. Come to find out they said they rarely had salesman come by bc they keep thr building pretty locked up during the day and dont have a fancy exterior to indicate what they did. I ended up making an extra 1000-1500 a week commission for almost two years until I took another position with the company. Still the best cold call Ive ever done to this day.
