If that is the case, I hope that his boss stubs his toe and falls down some stairs and his tiny hat flies off and lands in some poop but he doesn't realise and squishes the poop all over his head putting it back on again and then he gets audited by the IRS.
Max is actually an outstanding performer. He will be a sale team leader or district trainer soon. Exceptional persistence and great job overcoming objections. Professional to the last word. Unshakable. Legendary salesman.
Pushy salespeople are only good if you're trying to con people once and GTFO, like those guys who come to your door and collect for "charity". If you are in pest control, you want to build a relationship with the neighborhood. If you get a reputation for being annoying, people aren't going to call you when they actually need something.
I've had a couple of encounters with pushy salesmen like this. Funny thing is my version left with him completely shedding the "professional" outlook and going straight to "fuck you!" and then storming off angrily.

A certain big box hardware store in my state has for some time now been hiring an in-house sales team to harass you while you shop ("Hi, how are you today, sir? Listen, when was the last time you replaced your (furnace, kitchen cabinets, floors, etc.)?"). Normally, I'm pretty polite. I've figured out if I just simply answer that I recently updated and I'm happy with what I've got, they'll usually just thank me and walk away.
But I had a woman in this role flip out on me because, on this one particular day, I was in a hurry. In fact, I'd been to the store twice already (that day) and dealt with the sales pitch...twice already. It was one of those days. The third time in the store, she approached me and I just said, "Thank you, but I don't have time for this right now." I smiled. I said this politely. She became indignant. The short of it: she said, "What an asshole," as she was walking away.
I was surprised, but I didn't really react to her. Before leaving the store I mentioned it to customer service, and I haven't seen her again.
I fucking hate being predictably approached by these kinds of salespeople. The part that pisses me off the most is the seeming expectation that we're impolite if we don't allow them to chat us up and instead cut them off immediately ("Thanks, but I'm not interested."). I barely have enough time for the people I love most. No, I don't owe you a fucking second Mr. Are-You-Happy-With-Your-Current-Cable-Provider.
These outfits are a scam. Theyll come out once to clean your house to make believe they're actually performing a service. But all they're really doing is laughing their asses off spraying water at your house.
Never give anyone who door knocks a check or cash, no matter how good it sounds. Pay with a credit card that they have to swipe (not read off), so when you find out the hard way you can still get your bank to reverse the charge.

The first step to solving a problem is admitting we have a problem.
It's pretty obvious this Jew needs a hatchet in it's face... but I'm the asshole for suggesting it. The Jew is protected.
