A salesperson with a stutter just came to my house. Doorbell rings, and it’s a salesman for a pest control service. As soon as he starts talking, I could hear what I’d call a mild/moderate stutter. This was a complete cold call gig, pretty intimidating for most I’d think. The kid nailed it though, he was a good salesperson, even his eye contact was great. I wanted to give him a hug. I had a couple hard blocks on a call today, so I was feeling a bit down, this def cheered me up. You fucking crushed it dude
