Seriously. This applies to any situation where you’re on the receiving end of any direct cold calling or unexpected door-to-door or on-the-street type solicitation.

Consumer products, home services, insurance, financial products- doesn’t matter. If someone suddenly shows up and starts putting the pressure on you to spend some money, 99% of the time they’re running some kind of shady angle, even if it’s technically not illegal or an outright scam.

If you need a product or service, do some basic research first.

If they were a good deal or did legit good work, they wouldnt need to be knocking on your door saying how great their business is. You'd be seeing their work or finding them yourself.
