Everyone remembers, or is at least familiar with the door to door encyclopedia salesman from the 1950s. And just as this puts in mind some of the innocence associated with time period as well as others in history, it also reminds of the changing nature of just who might be knocking on our door. Today, and most recently, it could be the census worker who is innocently trying to collect important residential information for the betterment of society or it could be a scam artist who is collecting donations for a non existent charity. And interestingly, the scam artist is more likely to look professional and innocent that the poor census taker who is trying to get by and earn an honest living.
Meanwhile, there will always be people who wish to sell something. This could be candy bars or magazines from young students who are trying to find a field trip with their school or community. It could also be a variation on the traditional encyclopedia sales person. And then there are other people who are selling quality educational information and resources for organizations like the Southwestern Company . It can be confusing to determine who might be on the other side of our door and what their intent might be, but it can also be extremely beneficial not only to the person on the outside but the one on the inside too. Student interns from Southwestern Company and like agencies are learning valuable professional skills and presentation standards in addition to offering quality educational materials and products. Open your door to the new encyclopedia sales archetype.
