    I tell them I'm not interested. We arrive at a mutual understanding. Phone call ends.
    Also never had any rude tele sales people and depending on what they sell I just say I got one already or dont need it then goodbye.

    The only sales people I hate are the Israelies in the shopping malls who sell the creams and you have to try walk past them without them noticing you.

    I was called once by AIG for Life Insurance or some shit...And this kak was like past 5 in the morning, so I barely remember what I had said.

    Am still annoyed to this day that these telemarketers know my damn number. It's sold to 'em, isn't it?

    Must be sold to them since I dont have any accounts with my cell number on so not sure where they get it from.

    I seem to get it more on the home phone though compared to my cell.

    Riigghhttt.....

    A database where you have to GIVE your details so they do NOT phone you... seems dodgy.... and I doubt that all call centres have to comply with that. Seems like data mining for a company that probably ends up selling the lists...

    Another trick to do with tele sales people... just repeat EVERYTHING they say

    I hate those calls, but i usually listen for a few minutes and then say, sorry i'm not interested.

    ITs true i have been to our call center and these guys get given flak from people they dial and flak from managers for not making targets, no excuse to be rude but sometimes this world just needs a bit more mutual niceness

    Only if you belong to the DMA... which not all call centres do. (e.g. no Banks belong to the DMA, and they are the bulk of my sales calls...)

    You can check on their site, if your details are on their database... I checked and I wasn't, so no need to sign up!

    The calls I get are usually timeshares, charities or cellphone companies havent had a bank call me yet so does that database even work to opt out?
