You'll have no chance in convincing me door to door sales is in any shape or form "Customer Service" You're going up to them, not the other way around.

Well I'd been chased a couple times. One guy raised his fist, but I never got hit. But yeah I was referring to physical attacks and being chased. Actually one time I was bit by a dog.. kept biting my leg... owner didn't do anything about it. That kind of ****ed me off... . Verbal abuse was like... what... every 2nd house? At least? You end up ignoring a lot of comments.
There was a few times when you'd hit a door that had already been hit (I know... I know.. the company didn't tell us which ones they'd already sold to or knocked on before... it was annoying for employees as well as residents). Anyways so when I ran into people who already had signed up, I'd get asked questions about the current prices and if they're deal is still good... sometimes you'd get the odd upset guy demanding answers about something or another. So yeah that'd be customer service.

Or did the guy purchase your service and then proceed to attempt to attack you?

That was moreso in Ontario, and I will say I know of times when that did happen, where either fake people were signed up in order to get commissions, or people were flat out lied to in order to get a sale. But I NEVER did either of those... and to be honest most of the sales people didn't... and generally frowned upon the people that did within the sales team.
