I'm just too polite, but I save them their time by telling them that I'm already fully covered, with investments. I'll always give a chance to a salesperson to wow me though, but there's no point when the services/product that they are selling, I already have. I can’t agree more!

If they can't do their 'survey', normally, they will ask for namecard. And if they can't get any namecards, they will ask for company stamp (with phone number) just to 'prove to their supervisors that they had been there'. Then they will ask your name. And the rest is history... Good one! If they can’t do their ’survey’, normally, they will ask for namecard.
