    I had a really nice young woman knock at my door today. She gave me a really long winded non breaking sales pitch about a charity for the blind. She was asking for donations and just talking and talking about how important it was, how special it was and how good it was to help.

    Then she threw in the sales wrap up … it just costs a dollar a day to contribute.

    $365 a year? I offered $100 instead and then it led into another long sales pitch that there was no alternate option, it was just $1 a day.

    I told her she was losing out on the hundred … she has instructions to just sign people up with their subscription model.

    After half an hour of talking I told her I wasn’t interested.

    At the end of it all … I really didn’t think it had anything to do with a charity.
