In this brief conversational clip, Speaker A shares a personal approach to handling unsolicited sales calls and door‑to‑door solicitations. The method involves giving the caller a brief moment of attention, then politely stating disinterest and ending the interaction without hanging up. Speaker B echoes a related tactic—simply not answering the phone at all—to avoid the awkwardness of a direct refusal. The exchange highlights a respectful, low‑conflict mindset toward unwanted sales outreach, framed in a casual, anecdotal tone.
It's just that's not the right person for you, right? So you got to keep going. And I'll tell you something else, I have a soft spot in my heart for those people now. Whenever I get a cold call or someone rings on my doorbell, I always give them a minute, you know? Okay. And then respectfully I'll tell them like, look, I'm not interested, like you got to get going. But I won't hang up on them because I learned, man. I learned.
All right, man, look, taking it from you, I, I quit hanging up. Now I just don't answer the phone. That's what I do, you know?
Or just tell them, look, I'm not interested. All right, thanks for the call. Go call somebody else. You know, just say that honestly.
You know, like when people come up to your door, like they might be trying to sell a vacuum cleaner or shampoo, you know, for your house and this and that. And so now I just tell her, I'm like, look, man, you gotta wait for my wife to, uh, to come. She handles all that because I really ain't got time to be talking about— because I'm saying, if I do get a a vacuum cleaner or a shampoo, and then she come home and be like, why did you get that? That's just a waste of money, you know.
