Waste their time. They aren't going to quit calling. So have a little fun with it....

Bear in mind these people are just trying to do a job, with tight targets and heavily commission based wages. Waste their time and you reduce their orders and thus reduce their wage packet. Just stop 'em when they start and tell 'em you aren't interested. If they persist tell them to stop wasting their time on you and call someone who might give them an order.
I've done telesales and telecanvassing and it's a miserable shitty job for the most part. It is however a job that requires little in terms of formal training or qualifications...except in India where you pretty much have to be a university graduate. Even so, think about it. Think about having to go and do that every day as your job.
They're just people. Some of them are trying to communicate on those phone calls in a language they are only just proficient in. You don't have to put up with it, just tell them to go away. But why actually seek to waste the time of someone who's on commission? It's not like it's the same person each time just pestering you. They have a screen in front of em and numbers on the screen. They sit there for hours at a time ringing the numbers on the screen and talking to people who don't want to talk to them. Fucking depressing job.
