When they call, answer the phone like you would at work, like say "Your Name Speaking", or "Company Name, Your Name". When they try your pitch, tell them this is a business office. In Canada, there's a law which states telemarketers must immediately remove your name from their marketing lists or they face a $5000.00 penalty for calling business lines.
You'd be surprised how fast they apologize and will never call you back. No 30 day remove hold BS. Works like a charm at my home. Why else do you think businesses never get telemarketers calling them
