What is a Stalker?
There is some disagreement on what a stalker is. I have compiled a short list but it you have more, feel free to add them.
From Merriam-Webster online:
transitive verb
1 : to pursue by stalking
2 : to go through (an area) in search of prey or quarry
3 : to pursue obsessively and to the point of harassment
- stalk·er noun
For those Direct Sellers (consultants and distributors) who:
1. Approach people in Grocery stores, Department stores and anywhere there are people (warm chattering)
2. Knock on doors to peddle your product
3. Operate a booth (and once again approach) instead of allowing the person to come to you for information
4. Continue calling or contacting after the person says they are not interested (ie. no means maybe)
THEN, YOU ARE A STALKER
I have been a stalker. I’m proud of myself for being able to admit it. I am also proud to say I no longer stalk people. It is shameful to me that I have approached unsuspecting women in stores, malls, booth events, etc. I had run out of friends and family I could talk into classes and was desperate for new customers. I used “fishbowls” many times and had a good amount of success with them. During my foggy days, it never occurred to me that women might be perceiving me as pushy and fake. Without mk, I am neither of those things.
I was taught to do these things too.
