In this episode, Travis and producer Eric dive into the wild world of door-to-door selling—reacting to some of the most painfully awkward sales videos on the internet. From cringe-worthy “Karen” interactions to clueless pitches, the two unpack what not to do when trying to close a deal. With laughter, role-playing, and a little sales therapy, they uncover why emotional intelligence still beats any script.

On this episode we talk about:

The worst door-to-door sales tactics caught on camera

Why self-awareness matters more than a sales pitch

The art of knowing when to walk away from a “no”

How not to represent your business online

The hilarious (and humbling) lessons from Travis and Eric’s own early sales days

Top 3 Takeaways

Confidence is good—persistence without awareness is just annoying.

Filming your bad interactions doesn’t make you authentic; it makes you unhireable.

Good sales come down to respect, timing, and tone—not endless rebuttals.
