I have been sick to the back teeth of sales calls lately, I'm even registered with the TPS and not the slightest bit of difference. I even got stitched up on Monday into paying for more advertising and I know it will be money down the drain, I'm such an easy sucker for these people! I'll never be rich.
Anyway today I finally put Plan B into action! The sales call started as usual, and I interrupted and said "I'm sorry but the person you need to speak to is on maternity leave for the next 4 months" (God I just thought, I better not be tempting fate here! I work by myself you see, its just me!). Thinking that would be it and farewell, the girl asked can I take her name? Caught on the hop the name Julia Smith came from nowhere!! But at least I didn't get conned in to shelling out more money!
So if you find sales calls a pain, but hate being rude, try plan B!
