Svantaggi
Door to door work with homeowners that probably don't want to see some solicitor on their door step. Common for police to get called, which is why I was uncomfortable talking to homeowners. If they say they're not interested, you are supposed to ignore them, and go right back to collecting their information. Basically, if you want to do this job, and not be a pest, you must be very good at being pleasantly persistent. Have gotten better about this. But they don't always get you the necessary permits that make this job legal. And considering the frequent police involvement, that's an issue.
