I normally go straight to disarmament.
If it's a newspaper, I don't read the news.
If it's a magazine, I don't read magazines.
If it's a credit card company offering insurance on my balance, I don't need insurance.
If it's a survey, I don't have time.
If it's a charity, I can't donate right now.
I have a background in sales and marketing. The one thing that tends to kill a deal is a lack of: need, the ability to pay, and time.
The time issue will always encourage them to ask about calling back. Just say you never have any free time.
