Sounds like a rather pleasant cold call, all things considered. It was nice that the telemarketer didn’t press you on it. Sounds like a rather pleasant cold call, all things considered.

It's tough enough to get people to change insurance based on price. It's even tougher trying to get them to leave their in-laws. Jake,

And I'm in the Do-Not-Call list, which actually works quite well.

My uncle is in the window business, so that line has worked on the window companies that have called over the years. The other great line is to say, "Whoa, hold on, I've got a little fire in my kitchen that I really need to put out." They usually let you go without a fuss! Hahaaaaa!

And until my father-in-law retired, I used that very same response to cold calling agents. It was so nice to shut them down and do so honestly! Too funny!
