Deliberately exposing yourself to these salespeople is great training. As long as you don't buy anything.

I was twice targeted by timeshare resort companies. It's really high-pressure, but it's endless fun to see them escalating salespeople, from the junior interns to the really experienced mindbenders. From praising you for your success, to criticizing you for not living up to what was expected from you at your point in life.

Great exercise.
