If you're in the states there is a law that stops or reduces sales calls.
Tell them to add you to their do not call list and get a name. Write down
the time and date of the call and who you talked to. After that they pay you
$500 every time they call you.

Besides, I think ForeFront (now SmartCertify) sales guys are TOO PUSHY AND
PERSISTENT - they kept calling me repeatedly inspite of the fact that I got
really annoyed with them and clearly asked
them never to call me again and that I'm NOT interested at all in their
product any more.
I write this to the group so that everyone thinks twice before leaving
their
name/address/phone number/e-mail on their web site before downloading the
demos - earlier today I was woken up by the same over-zealous sales guy
from
Forefront and it wasn't the first time grrr ("Oh, I was
wondering if you're still interested in the CCNA CBT NO, I'M NOT -
REPEAT - NOT INTERESTED IN THE DAMN CCNA CBT FROM YOUR COMPANY.. NOW WHAT
PART OF THAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ???")
The sales tactics used : The list price of the CCNA CBT is $1800, but
they'll give you all kinds of discounts (bring the price down to about
$1200
or so), and if you express your inability to buy an expensive CBT product
(which isn't worth the money, imho, going by the demo I downloaded), they
will try to sell you all kinds of installment plans to sell you the CBT,
throw in freebies (buy CCNA 1.0 now and we'll throw in CCNA 2.0/ICND for
free)... anything to make you buy!
