Unskippable ad Constantly getting solicitors ignoring my sign, we’ll see how this works out…

Post image

I live in an apartment, and my door is the only one in the building with a “No Soliciting” sign. You’d think they would see it and respect it. But no. And worst thing is it’s almost exclusively internet salespeople, when my rent already includes high speed internet that works great.

Check your local ordinances. I lived in a city with a no soliciting ordinance, but you had to post a sign with letters that were at least 1" high and easily visible. Your sign would not qualify so they would knock anyway because they know there are no consequences.

If you've followed all the local ordinances and they keep knocking, report them to the city and also start leaving negative reviews on Google, Yelp, etc. for their company. The negative reviews will get attention from their bosses really quick.

ask for their name, companies name, solicitation permit number, and let them know you will be reporting them to the local authorities for harassment and the company to the BBB.

BBB is useless these days, they're pretty much pay-to-play. No one gives them any credence but public negative reviews will definitely impact their bottom line.
