My Worst Cold Call
I used to sell books door-to-door while in college. During the drought years of the late '80s up in the corn belt of Illinois, one day I called on a farmer's wife. She let me in and was actually about to buy some educational school books to help her kids "get off the farm." Well that's when the farmer came in and put a double barrelled shotgun to the back of my head and told me to get out. I learned that day that no sometimes means how fast can you pack up and run.
