Not Interested

To anyone who has chosen selling for a living, two words can sound crass and unforgiving. People don't want to hear it. They won't give a chance. Too much of the general public has joined in the dance. Those uttered words mean there will be no sale. Any attempt to sell will be to no avail. The words "not interested" will not sound so funny to anyone out there trying to make money.

Good point Robert, it must be very disheartening to those who work in tele sales to get knocked back all the time but to be honest I never purchase anything without actually seeing it and wouldn't buy from a cold canvassed caller but that's just my personal preference:-) hugs jan xx

Well said Robert. I feel sorry for anyone who tries to sell anything door to door from newspapers to household gadgets. Not an easy way to make a living. A fine write my friend. God Bless, JB

Sad but true. Must say tho , traveling salesmen have sold at our house. Not really keen on students selling subscriptions tho. Did like your style and smooth rhyming. Would like to see more.
