When we have cold callers I just take the dog with me to the door, having a staffordshire bull terrier trying to jump up, soon puts them off, little do they know, he only wants to lick their face.
Other occasion I was doing some DIY and was still holding this 2 by 1 lump of hardwood when I answered the door, least to say they were a bit nervous of even approaching the step lol.
You could always quickly smear some ketchup around your mouth and make noises like hannibal, might make them think twice about selling you something lol.Financial Aims for 2012:

I run an internet based bed company from home, so I'm often at home during the day when they call. What I usually do (also to cold callers on the phone) it to turn the conversation around, and try to sell them a bed.0
