rickiethecat Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 If you've ever been tempted to switch energy suppliers due to pressure from a door to door saleman, have a read of this confession from someone who used to be one. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/utilities/2011/09/guest-comment-my-tale-of-energy-doorstep-selling-shame I know most of us are smart enough to know what conmen they are, but they do prey on the elderly and vulnerable so if you have such a friend or relative, you might want to send them the link above. I'm curious though whether anyone has had a good experience with a door to door saleman? Surely soneone must have if the energy companies think it worth employing them.

taxman Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Never. If their company is so competitive and value for money they can leave me their literature so I can go online, check their tariffs and compare them to other companies etc Strangely everyone selling door to door seem to forget their literature, or don't have any. Apparently the deal they offer is only valid that minute, on that doorstep. If their deal was that good they'd be happy to supply me with all the information in order to allow me to make an informed decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stvoider Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Everytime I've either had a cold caller at my door or on the phone they haven't come close to even matching the deals I've got online let alone beating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CXC3000 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 One time, there was a female who unashamedly started to flirt (just to get a sale). It didn't work. But I did manage to have a long conversation with her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
