Prospect: "I'm not interested"

You: "You're not interested in what?"

or

You: "You're not interested in what, having an open mind which could potentially save you a ton of money you stupid, mother effing idiot who is a waste of my g-d damn time?  I hope your investments go to zero you prick and you come begging to hear what I have to say.  At that point I'll tell you to go eff yourself, asshole"

I'd probably go with the first choice unless you need to let off some steam.

Not sure I agree with that approach... I just recently had someone cold call me at my home (not a financial advisor, a student loan consolidation person).  The woman used that SAME approach and it only pissed me off. 

Here's how the convo went:

- Mr. ****, I'm so and so calling about a new program for student loan consolidation.... yada yada yada..

ME: I'm sorry, but I'm not interested.  Thank you anyway...

WOMAN (in a snide tone): Not interested in WHAT?!

ME (now pissed at her attitude): Whatever the f*** you're trying to sell me!!!!  CLICK!

[/quote]

Anyone who uses the word "convo" after the age of 19 needs to be pimp-slapped.

Gee, Bobby...  well I hope I can be as cool as you one day.  How big are your Internet muscles, by the way?
