Resisting Salespeople

 Call centres have made this a level playing field. Sales calls are as much a woman-thing as it was a man- thing. Anyway, how to resist them on phone calls is the subject.

Say 'Wrong number."

Listen for the pitch and cut the call.

Listen, and say a polite, "Not interested." Then cut the call. 

Ask some stupid question, or say something unintelligible, and cut the call.

Most interesting of all- Don't pick the call, if it says it's likely to be a junk call. Thank your software that figures this out. Technology does have its uses. Sometimes.

Mails are easier. You know they are junk when you see them.

You are welcome. I know you want to thank me.
