Had a cold call at the front door today from a young bloke presumably on commission to make appointments for a "salesman" to come and "quote".

Anyone know which firms operate like this with this product type in the area ? :!:

I know there is a big market in the UK for this type of "sales operation" but first time i've seen in Cyprus ? Anyone have experience of this directly/indirectly ?

I have not had them call on me, but I think that there are english owned companies that are working in paphos..
I am not sure if that place next to the post office sends out cold callers..

I had some religious freeks knock on the office door today.. :shock:

If they were young guys, in suits white shirts and ties, smart haircuts, they will be Mormons. I've seen them around too. Lloyd

They are Jehovah Witnesses - they were about to call at my house the other evening when I had popped out in the garden to have a smoke and the dogs came with me - needless to say they didn't stop long as both girls went beserk at them - don't know why they normally have a quick yap, but they kept on and on so the two blokes scampered off quick. First time I have thanked both the girls for barking. :lol:

A couple of years ago I was holidaying in my apartment (before the big move), and this couple came walking down the street - Good Morning I said (as you do), Good Morning they said, and stopped for a chat (as you do). We must have been chatting for a good 15-20 minutes, it seems they live in Peyia, etc, etc, until finally they said "You do know who are, don't you?" - No, says I, thinking is this someone who knows me from a forum :shock: . "We're Jehovahs Witnesses" they said, and they handed me a leaflet :roll: , and told me there was a big convention on in Limassol that weekend.

I was gobsmacked - for some reason, I never thought there would be Jehovahs Witnesses in Cyprus!

back to the plot... focalpoint kitchens are doing cold-calling for double-glazing and conservatories; the reason i know? i had a call the other morning, and it was my next-door neighbour who called!

i can't help feeling that with so few owner occupiers here, they'll stop quite quickly...
