Redwitch has the right idea. A friend of mine is a telemarketer. He says he wants you to hang up right away if you're not interested. That way he can move on to someone that is. That's how he makes his money. Now, if you keep him on the phone without buying, he's not a happy camper. If you have the time, strike up a conversation with them. Keep them on as long as you can.
