How can we prevent salespeople from entering university dormitories?

It’s the freshmen season again. Freshmen are about to face not only military training and freshman meetings, but also dormitory sales. They will face many unknown people knocking on the dormitory doors. I have summarized the following three things: A way to say no to dormitory sales.

The first method is to make an effective deterrent door sticker, so that people will not dare to knock on your dormitory door, let alone come in. For example, in the picture below, if they want to sell these things, they will probably not knock on the door after seeing the sticker. This is a trick to make them speechless. Or put a sign on the door saying "Do Not Disturb Seniors". If the salesperson knows you are a senior, he will not dare to disturb you. Pretending to be a senior is very useful. I remember I didn't think of this trick when I was a freshman. , experienced many salesmen knocking on the door, but the freshman dormitory next door posted this on the door and no one knocked on the door. Another way to refuse is to lock the door when they knock. As long as you don't open the door, they won't keep knocking and they will go to the next dormitory.

The second is to refuse to get too close to the salesperson. During the sales process, they will want to chat with you and build a good relationship before selling to you. Don’t fall into the trap. If there is no sticker on the door, the door is not locked, and the salesperson comes directly to get close to you, then you need to be firm in rejecting them. Don’t show hesitation, otherwise they will think there is still hope. How long will the sales last? It will get longer. Don’t ask me why I know it. I tell you because I have experienced it. When I was a freshman, the door was not locked one day. As a result, a senior sister came in directly after knocking on the door. She chatted with us about Korean dramas and we became familiar with it. She started to sell small language courses, but we were too embarrassed to refuse at the time and our attitude was not firm enough. As a result, she talked in our dormitory for four hours and asked us to call our parents to ask for their opinions. You really need to avoid this situation from happening, and don't let them feel that they have been chatting with you for long enough and are close enough to create a situation where rejection is difficult.

The third way is to strengthen your beliefs. Don’t forget that your initial thought is to refuse. Your tone must be firm, don’t be polite, and don’t hesitate. If you hesitate, you will lose. If you want to refuse a promotion, you must start from the beginning. Say no at first. The first thing is to eliminate the first step of sales promotion. Secondly, if you enter the door, you must reject any sales promotion from them at the first moment. If you don't speak well and have a firm attitude, they won't waste too much time in your dormitory, and neither will you. Too much time is wasted dealing with their sales pitch.
