FECK!How fucking rude! I just got a sales call from Google for advertising. I asked in what regards as we have booking sites we go through and that pretty much keeps us full as we're a small business.
The then just hung up on me!

If they call againpretend to be a mahoosive international conglomerate, get as far as giving them an order for thousands of pounds worth of advertising and then hang up on them.
When they call back, desperate to get the sale, you go back to being a small business and have no recollection of such an order.

We like to play telephone tennis with sales calls.It goes like this:
1. Pick up call and realise it's a crappy sales call
2. Tell them that yes, your company is VERY interested in what they have to sell, but that they need to speak to someone else, and of course you'd be happy to transfer them.
3. Put them on hold and inform your office mates that you've got a player
4. Leave them on hold for as long as you think you can get away with, perhaps 1 or 2 minutes
5. Transfer them to someone else whose job it is to answer the phone saying that they are from some bizarre department; 'hello, boiler room' etc, the weirder the better
6. Colleague then says that the call must have been transferred incorrenctly and that they would be happy to put them through.
7. Go to step 4
8. Game ends when the caller hangs up.
Record so far is 15 minutes.
