This sales-guy who works at a Swedish alarm-service company, he came to my door two days ago. Told him I didn't have time. He insisted it was worth my time. Told him I could look any relevant info up online. He said that the deals online wouldn't match in-person sign-up deals.

At this point, as someone on the spectrum, I'm on my proverbial back foot and almost falling over. From the get-go, he spoke Swedish (of course, this is Sweden), but we switched to English, so I was already at a social disadvantage. I agree to talk with a sales rep tonight.

If it weren't for my partner willing to stand up for me tonight (he was at work at the time the earlier stuff happened), I don't know what I'd do. I'd probably sign up for something then cancel later just to get them the fuck out of my living room.

close the door in their face if they won't go away after that, call someone to have the salescritter removed from your front door

Sideway approach: in NL we have a sign “geen colportage” which means “no door to door sales” we can put up. Having the sign will filter a bit and for the others, you ‘just’ have to point to the sign. But i get that it’s hard.

@TheMogMiner also maybe helpful: those salesppl are used to being rejected and they don’t feel it as conflict. For them it’s “Tuesday” (an expression meaning “business as usual”). Still probably hard to do.

I'm really sorry to hear that happened... I've had encounters with some salespeople who came off straight up rude myself and was making me feel guilty for not entertaining their offers. It feels like emotional manipulation is part of the work. Frankly, I think it is.
