  Right. It's unfortunately extremely common - even in-store clerk for major telecom swill make undeliverable promises and assurances; when it's a random, subcontracted, un-accountable stranger at your door, there's no limit to what they can say in the inherently he-said/she-said scenario. There's NO earthly benefit to consumer to signing something from a door-to-door salesperson. You don't have the context, you don't have comparison, you don't have background, you don't have information, you don't have assurance or proof or trust or anything that it takes for you to make a beneficial decision. All you have are eroding defenses against a targeted onslaught. At best, at BEST, you'll get something you could've gotten with less risk and less pressure through regular channels. At worst - well, there's no upper limit to the worst. You may get a slightly more expensive regular product, or you may get a slightly subpar product, or you may end up in any number of various nightmare scenarios. There's just no upside. I'm the nicest, politest, most conflict-avoiding person in real life, and known for it. And I hate that they push and push and push and make me turn nasty before they'll hear a "No".
