Classified under TEER 5, this category includes diverse roles such as telemarketers, door-to-door salespersons, street vendors, rental service representatives (excluding vehicle rentals), auctioneers, and product demonstrators. These workers perform essential tasks like soliciting orders, promoting products, demonstrating item features, and arranging rentals of recreational or commercial equipment.
