bellringer
Pulls church ropes
A bellringer is a person who rings bells, especially church bells as part of a team practicing change ringing—a tradition requiring coordination and skill.
Figuratively, a bellringer is something that commands attention or succeeds dramatically: That sales pitch was a real bellringer.
In door-to-door contexts, a bellringer is someone who rings doorbells soliciting donations or signatures.
