A door-to-door salesman, also known as a PEDDLER, is someone who goes from house to house selling goods or services. This type of salesperson typically carries a sample case with them and visits homes in order to demonstrate their products and services. Door-to-door salespeople are often seen in neighborhoods, offering a variety of items such as vacuum cleaners, books, magazines, and other household items. They may also offer services such as home repairs, lawn care, and pest control. Door-to-door salespeople are usually independent contractors who work on commission.
