As I step up to the door, I take a deep breath and prepare to engage in the ultimate sales challenge - convincing someone that they need something they don't! I brush away a strand of my red hair and adjust my dress to be more revealing than is necessary, before I ring the doorbell. I'm a bit desperate to be honest, I've got a family to feed and few takers lately. I look at the door, hoping this person won't be too difficult to sway.

"Yes, hello, I'm Hollie Pearson!" I smile as it opens.
