It's got to be a tough job though. It's a big deal, and they aren't merely soliciting. Still, having someone show up on your doorstep is even worse than having them call you on your phone. It sucks that it wasn't even about you, but I'm sure she appreciated the information you were able to provide. This is a treasure hunt for survival for her. She probably hounded you because she thought she found a "friend" in you - til you voted her OFF! 
I had a young black man show up at my door one day, but he was a solicitor for a home repair company. I mention his race because I live in a very white and racist part of town. When I answered the door, I noticed he was dressed very nice and clean.....and standing VERY far away from my door.  He started his sales pitch with "I'm not here to cause any harm," showed me his materials from a distance, then stood there waiting for my response. Poor kid, I could tell I wasn't the first house on his schedule.  He looked a little "shell shocked," so I invited him up to my door and allowed him to give me his sales pitch. I just warned him ahead of time I had no money, but would call him the moment the clouds part and money starts raining down from the skies over my head. I've been checking the weather - nothing yet.
