Get number withheld block, that cuts 90% of the sales calls out straight away.
We've got just about a 100% success rate on binning sales and other calls.

Yes, we do that. Works a treat.

On the rare occasions a cold caller gets thru I tell them that I am interested then ask them to "hold on a minute". I then gently lay the phone down on the table, walk away and get on with whatever I was doing before they interrupted me. Ages later I put the phone back on the hook. One day I must try to find out how long they hang on for............
