Always ask how much they are offering to pay you for your time. If they are being paid to talk to you, then you should be paid to talk to them.   [guest]

When they say "We can save you 30% off your phone bill", answer "Great, go ahead and do it!", and then hang up.   [guest]

Charity organisations: I hate to say this but "Buyer Beware". When you give once, they will call usually every few weeks. If you hate that kind of regular pestering, consider saying you are late to go to a job interview or something to get out of the first call. If they think you don't have a job, you won't be top of their list, and if you have to go to something that important, there's no way they can hold you back.   myxlfidian (150)

Say you are busy right now but if you give me your home number I'll call you back. When they say they can't do that say "So you don't like people calling you at home?" When they say no, say "Well now you know how I feel!" and hang up.   myxlfidian (150)
