What's that Smell?

[davisgroup]

Just starting out in FE and enjoy almost everything about the business. I have little problem going into some rather dirty homes and talking to folks. However, on a few occasions in the worst homes, I sometimes encounter an acrid, ammonia-like odor that hits me like tear gas. I can hardly stay in the house. Worst yet, it gets into my clothes and stays with me for the rest of the day. What is that smell, and how do deal with it?

I would make an educated guess that it's kitty litter. The only way to deal with it is just deal with it.

I was doorknocking a home a couple of years ago and the smell was so strong that it almost knocked you back at the door. They wouldn't let me in and I was so happy.

Well, either that or you can just wear "work clothes". After a few of those houses I started ditching the suits and downgraded a bit. Depending on the neighborhood, jeans and a polo are just fine. You want to be dressed a little better than them, just not by much.

Cat, dog, or human piss. Keep a can of fabreeze in the car and spray yourself when u leave the house. Tele-sales eliminates this problem.

I didnt know this when I started, but now I do....when a client offers to talk outside or it just "seems" they dont wanna invite u in, DONT push it! Most of the time, its for your OWN protection NOT to go in there...stay outside, grab a chair & just sell baby!!
