Since most (and I say most) of the sales agents today are being paid in a commission-based method, some salesmen really push it just to get that thick commission at the end of the month.
A number of manufacturing companies present today hire people to sell their products through “door to door” or other methods. Sometimes, the agents themselves lie to consumers so that they’ll go to the presentations these sales people have prepared for them. They would tell the clients things like, “do you want to get a new job? We would like to hire you!” and this would swoon the client since it is a job opportunity. Clients would find out later that they are not being offered a job, but they were there to hear “sales talk”.
Many legal experts say that this can be a ground for misrepresentation.
