Dead clever
On a similar but unrelated subject, David Evans at ABBYY Ltd adds his favourite technique for terminating an unwanted sales call.
“Say: ‘I’m sorry, he’s not here. May I ask: were you a close personal friend of his?’ When said in slightly hushed tones and with dignity, I think it sets the bar for any further communication at a fairly impressive height.”
If anyone else has a proven technique for messing with telephone salespeople, let us know.
