Cold Calls at Work

[Veggibear]

Anyone got any good ways to deal with these people?

I am sick of mobile phone companies, insurance, accountants, conference invitations, requests for email address, temporary labour, general motors, water coolers, (I cant think of any more at the moment).

[zzxxee]

say im sorry the person you have asked for has died!!!!!

[ChuckFickens]

Turn your phone off.

please come back when you do think of some more , i was riveted by that list

[redcrx]

try registering with the PTS for a start.

just be polite and request that they dont call again.

the second or third time they call i ask why i should even consider them for business if they cant follow a simple instruction such as "dont call me"

[tamborine]

Dont give business name to 'withdrawn' callers; leave call on, press mute & let them natter away.

who for owl , the ugly 22 stone needy single woman ?

[mccfluff]

i let my calls go to voicemail then only phone interesting people back

[craft1948]

[mccfluff]

yep that's it WOO

oh and invest in caller id even better for ignoring people!

Where can I get a foghorn?

(Have registered all numbers but they still get your number somehow)
