Better Pro tip my old boss used to tell me to do:

If he knew the Mormons were coming knocking he would run out with the lawnmower and fire it up.

Two lads in nice clean suits will sidle up and one of them takes over the lawnmowing and all you have to do is nod along with the other one.

When he's almost finished tell him there is a whole other lawn around the back.

Absolute. Legend. I miss Mark, hope he is doing well

Yeah, this is a funny urban legend. It may work on the Mormon missionaries, not so much on us Witnesses..

If I am walking up to your house and see you carrying groceries in I will offer to help.

I won't waste my time mowing your yard, I have much more important things to do...

See, now this is how you should be doing it instead of cold calling. You need to start like a door dash thing, but instead of paying, people agree to listen to you for a set amount of time. For example, you help me carry in the groceries from Sam's Club, and you can evangelize to me for as long as that takes!
