A Dish Network salesman in Oklahoma faced a homeowner who answered the door with a gun pointed at him. Instead of panicking, he stayed calm, smiled, and kept complimenting the guy. He walks away with a philosophy: kindness and positivity can defuse even the worst situations.
Even if someone attacks me, I'm just like, whatever. I was knocking doors for Dish Network in Oklahoma, and I knocked on this door and a guy just opens the door and he has a gun pointed at me. He's like, "What are you doing?" And I'm like, "Bro, I'm trying to sell some Dish Network. Would you like some Dish?" And he's like, "I already got it." I was like, "All right." I wasn't worried. I'm ready to die if you want to shoot me. I'm ready to go. I don't want to die, but if I have to die, I'm ready. Don't let that scare you. As long as you have a smile on your face and you're happy, no big deal. Just be happy, be nice, you know. You never know what people are going through. Try to leave them better off than where you— when you found them. So, you know, they come to the door all grumpy, just smile, compliment them, say, hey, you got a nice garden. Because what it's all about is just making people feel better about themselves.
