I don't think we INTPs find "salesmanship" very easy!
We had a quota of $80 a day, and I think at first we were only required to average the quota each week. Then at the end, if we missed quota two days in a row, we were out! I was out. But I'd stayed there two months or so on the earlier policy.
It depended a lot on what area you were canvassing. Rich liberals = Best, Poor conservatives = Worst. Sometimes we could tell by the car in the driveway. This was before SUVs. The car of choice was the Volvo, apparently favored by liberals. I think my biggest check ($100? $150?) was from a guy who had both a Volvo and a Porsche, in Ridgewood, NJ. But I also had days when I would only take in a few bucks.
Hi, my name is Bram, and I'm from NJ PIRG, the state's leading environmental and consumer group. Perhaps you've heard of us? We've taken 19 of the state's worst water-polluting companies to court, and won in every single case! This year, we're working to pass a Can and Bottle Bill that would put a 5 or 10 cent deposit on cans and bottles...
