Some Life Agents Have A Lot Of Nerve !

You initially said most cities prohibit DK in gated communities. When challenged on that you changed from most to many to here is what they do in my town to there are no set rules. Pretty blankety to less blankety to unblankety. You evolved into the right answer, which is good.

You can mince semantics all you want. Most municipalities have restrictions on d2d in gated communities. As I have said from the start. Haven't changed a thing. I never said it was blanket, never said it was all. Giving an example is not the same as backing off of a comment.

Instead of causing drama why dont you actually contribute to the conversation by offering facts. Because at the moment all you are doing is trying to pick a fight. As I have said to others, try to be a professional... because believe it or not this is supposed to be a forum full of business professionals...

If you want to argue the difference between "most" and "many", go do it in the Senior/FE forum because I give up, you win.

Per the Supreme Court, a blanket ban on solicitation is illegal. So any city that has such a law is actually breaking the law.

The city may enact reasonable regulations, but cannot ban it. Things like, a do not knock list, registration, requiring that no solicitation signs be respected, etc.

As you saying there is a DNK list?

Instead of people registering their phones, they have to register their doors/doorbells(they don't work half the time anyway).

In some cities, yes.

I called my city hall yesterday to see what was needed for door knocking including surveys and they said "absolutely not!" I asked about surveys and they said anyone coming onto a property uninvited is a peddler and we prohibit peddlers. I said how are we supposed to contact people? They said door hangars are ok, but no knocking!

First I am in no way providing legal advice but did you ask for where you could find the ordinance and actually read it? My state has laws and some cities have laws regarding door to door sales but they do not restrict insurance agents. As the woman from the state said you are licensed by the state of Maine to solicit the sake if insurance you would be in the act of soliciting we do not restrict that. When I reviewed a city ordinance after being flatly told no by the town clerk we have an ordinance against that I found that the ordinance listed certain prohibited transactions but not insurance.

I wouldn't go by what some clerk at city hall says. Get it in writing.

Peddler you say? I'm going to change the title on my business card.

I prefer slinger to peddler as in insurance slinger.
