I thought I would be walking a precinct today. I packed my water, packed my chap stick and put on my blue shirt. Instead, I got assigned other duties. Actually, I had a fun day. I was, as I told someone, shooting fish in a barrel, but that is a story for another day.
Here's the tip:
An old door to door salesman's trick is to be looking at something off to the left or right when the door is answered. That allows you to turn to face the occupant with a big smile. That is far more effective than to be smiling, but facing the door as the door is opened, which makes your smile appear pasted on.
