I thought you meant with new customers I was made up for you. These people are pains though, but I suppose window cleaners cold call so I'd be a hypacrit to moan but at least we don't try the hard sell do we

Not a phone call but I got an email from a seo company saying my website is on page 37 of google for search terms office cleaning Swansea ;D and would I like a price on them getting me to page 1.

Problem with that is that I am based in Plymouth and we don't offer office cleaning ;D
What a stupid company!!!!!  But I am well chuffed to rank that high in swanse for office cleaning ;D ;D

When I get an unsolicited phone call, I know I'm not going to buy anything, so I don't want to waste the person phoning me's time.

So I just say, "Sorry, I don't want what you're selling, I don't mean to be rude, but I'm gonna hang up!"

And then I hang up.

rant over.....


I don't have them on the phone long. I normally say that I've sold my business Purewater Window Cleaning & give them their number.

They are usually very grateful. As a parting comment I add that he's a bit of a joker & will try saying he doesn't need one - be persistent & it'll pay dividends!
 ;D ;D ;D

All the best  ;D

My approach is normally just say no thanks & hang up. I'm never rude to them but equally I don't owe them anything & didn't ask them to call.
