touter
Pushy sales type
A touter is someone who touts—promoting, advertising, or soliciting customers, often aggressively or persistently.
Street touters outside nightclubs try to lure passersby inside.
The word carries slightly negative connotations, suggesting pushiness or desperation: The touters outside the restaurant made walking past uncomfortable.
