Reply to comment by taguscove in What is with WGBH going door-to-door soliciting donations? by cherry-popsicle

Yes, how about stopping by during the day and leading with something along the lines of “Hi, I’m so-and-so from WGBH and I’m talking to people in the neighborhood about supporting public radio. Would you have a couple minutes to chat?” Much less creepy.

WGBH does not strike me as a particularly sophisticated marketing organization. I am no expert in door to door sales, but you could very well be right

I think leading off with donation talk gets shut down easily, but they came too late it sounds like and there’s probably a better line opener than what they used
