door-to-door seller
Knocker peddling wares
A door-to-door seller is someone who travels to private residences to sell goods or services directly to occupants.
The practice was once common for encyclopedias, vacuum cleaners, and magazine subscriptions: The door-to-door seller demonstrated the product right in our living room.
The term often carries slightly negative connotations now, associated with high-pressure tactics and unwanted interruptions.
