| 5. I finally had to be almost rude to some friends (real estate agents) |
|
who keep on and on and on trying to get me to go to Landmark. I'd already done some research and wasn't interested. Their fervor made me suspicious too--the only other time I'd encountered that kind of hard-sell was with people pedaling religion at my door. No thanks.

A few years ago a co-worker used an amazingly hard sell to get me to go. |

Take a chill pill. I didn't compare them, I just said the hard sell reminded me of those groups. |
