Please tell me I am not the only one who can't stand talking to sales people when I DON'T WANT TO BUY ANYTHING. A coworker gave his best friend from high school my info and now this guy keeps trying to sell me stuff. I told him last year that I'd contact him in 3 years when my contract with another vendor expired. Today I got another email with him wanting to meet next week to review my contracts with current providers, are you kidding me????? Like I am going to tell you how much I am paying now so you can quote me a penny less?????

Some people in my office let these sales people in to do pitches even when they aren't shopping for anything. I don't get it. Why do some people like that? I just want them to leave me alone...

If this guy wasn't the coworker's best friend, I'd hit delete and forget about it. I told my coworker to tell the guy to leave me alone and he did for six months, but now he's starting again. OMG.

I'm in a mood, sorry for the rant...

I get them all the time. I just tell them we have an ongoing contract and are not interested in changing at this time. After that, I delete any additional contacts. I mean, I understand that they are doing their jobs, but.....

I'm normally pretty short with them, if it I reply at all... but this guy is having my coworker nag me too, and now a third coworker is in the mix, the one who signed the bad long term contracts last time That third person wants to meet with the guy. Part of me would just like to dump it in her lap, but I am the one who has to provide support for whatever solution we go with.

Just tell him you are not interested, I used to work in sales, we have thick skins and don't take rejection personally. Rejection is usually 90% of the job

I'm an INTJ. Us INTJs are notorious for being impossible to influence by sales people or anybody else.

If I'm in a store shopping, I make my own decisions based on my needs, budget, and knowledge on the product at hand. I am rigid on how I make my selections. Anybody who has ever known me well enough knows to leave me the hell alone when I'm trying to make a decision.

If a sales person comes up to me and doesn't get the hint that I'm not interested in what he/she has to say, I will shop elsewhere.

Thanks for saying that - I told him no, hopefully that will stop him for another six months.

I think I am INTJ too, or at least have been at some point (my results don't stay the same for that one). I'm with you - I don't want someone trying to influence my decision and find it extremely distracting in stores. I welcome guidance and advice when I seek it, but not someone trying to sell me something random.
