In the early 90s, I had a job door to door selling in America. This was a 3 month holiday job post-uni, part of the BUNAC scheme.

We were selling aerial photos of people's neighbourhoods/streets. (This was pre-Google Earth and pre-web).

I was a crap salesperson, but was luckily enough to bump into the best one, another student called Owen. I got chatting to him at one of the periodic parties the company threw and he had this knack for acting (maybe it was genuine?) like he was hanging on your every word, and how you were the most interesting person he'd ever spoken to. This is 30 years ago and I still remember it.
