How to Stop Salesmen Coming to You Door in Fort Collins
Living in a house is great. But there are some things that can certainly be annoying. Repairs, maintenance, and general upkeep of the home can be costly. However, the most irritating thing about living in a house is having someone come to your door to try and sell you something you have no interest in.
This spring, I have had my fair share of people bothering me while I am at home wanting to sell me something. Pest control, solar panels, and the most recent, hordes of roofing companies after a hail storm. Many people work from home this day in age and an unplanned visit by someone knocking on the door or ringing the doorbell can cause a loss in productivity.
