Not what it used to be
A door to door salesman just walked into our offices in Irvington.
Tough job.
A job usually reserved for people selling advertising or janitorial services.
This was an assistant Vice President at Citibank. He’s wandering the halls, door by door, trying to sell business checking accounts.
Clearly, all that marble, all those tellers and all that advertising is not enough to meet aggressive growth targets.
Once your business becomes a commodity, you can struggle or you can re-invent. I consider door-to-door selling to be struggling.
