As soon as I'm not interested, I tell them (this usuually is pretty quick!).
If they insist on talking, I just set the phone down and walk away.  I'll hear
a beep in a few minutes.  As a matter of fact, I started doing this after one
person just wouldn't quit talking.  I didn't hear a beep for at least 5 (!)
minutes.  I think he was becoming a sales machine.  He was upset enough that
he called back, said a "cute" phrase, and hung up (loudly).  Ha Ha Ha.
I warned him....  You know you got'em upset when they go out of their way
to call you back.  Heh heh heh.
