At least once a week, salespeople walk up to my office door, read the TWO signs I have posted, and still come in "this will only take a minute..."
Do they think the sign is meant for someone else? Are they told to ignore the signs?

Honestly, because most sales people that sell where these signs would need to be posted are uneducated and ignorant.

The only signs they actually see is dollar signs. Most salespeople are paid a nominal salary, with most of their money being made on comission. This means that if they do not sell, they do not make much, if any, money. So it does not matter how many no soliciting signs you put up-- the sad and unfortunate fact of the matter is that they will continue to ignore them for the sake of their pockets.

Even though salespeople are just trying to make a living, it appears that when they see "no solicitation" signs it becomes a personal challenge to them.
Maybe the best way is to answer the door with a shotgun pointed in their face and tell them the sign says no solicitaion. Maybe they'll get the point.

I have that problem where I live. At the entrance is a no solicitor sign........I can only guess that the salespeople don't know what the word solicitor means? I think if the signs were changed to no salesmen allowed it might sink in.

I hate salesmen too but there is an old saying that goes "true salesmenship begins when the customer says no."
