| 56. Selling Subscriptions to the Newark Star-Ledger Back in the '70s |
|
A very high-pressure organization - sell - sell - sell - don't take "no" for an answer.
The pitch was that for each subscription, a generous contribution would be made to an organization called "Cancer Care". I started hearing horror stories about how Cancer Care refused to help many families, and I later found out that the "generous contribution" for each subscription was 25 cents. And the woman who called to verify each subscription tried to sell them insurance.
I quit after a week.
