Almost all successful companies have to invade someone's space in order to sell. Most of the companies I am calling on have extremely aggressive marketing and sales divisions. Whether that's commmercials, flyers, direct mail, phone calls or knocking on somebody's door. People who are not in sales just don't get it. If it wasn't for the sales department most people who are so offended wouldn't have their stinking jobs. There certainly wouldn't be an economy like we currently have. Sales is the most important part of any business in that it creates revenue. The rest of you all just come in on the other end of the balance sheet. Someone comes to the door I don't want to talk to the dog has usually has run them off by the time I get there. If they are still there I just don't open the door. Why this is such a big deal is beyond me.

Well if sales people are allowed to personally invade my space and home, I think there's a problem. What's the use of owning a home then? Doesn't privacy mean anything to anyone these days?
Don't people get bombarded with advertising enough? I get a sh*t ton of meaningless and worthless advertising in my mailbox everyday. I get spammed by companies selling products in which I am not interested and I'm literally overloaded with commercials when watching live sporting events (I Tivo anything else that I would normally watch on TV. Now you're going to tell me that our *economy* wouldn't be the same without endless advertising and sales people? I call Bullsh*t again.
If anything, an unsolicited salesman bothering me is NEVER going to get my business. Ever. And since when is Religion considered a business? Oh yeah, that's right. Right about 330 AD when the Non-Christian Roman Emperor decreed that everyone within the Empire is now a Christian. Politics and sales, pure and simple.
