How to response to telemarketing

The way I usually deal with the person who call and try to sell their products or service to me is to reject them politely before hanging up the phone. Sometimes, I received several calls a day but I would still turn them down with manner without losing my temper even when the time I was very busy. It is because I know how difficult to sell things in this way and these salesmen/saleswomen must receive dozens of or hundreds of rejections every day. I kind of admire their bravery and how they process the negative energy before make the next call. Sometimes, I will imagine if I was one of these saleswomen and how many rejections I can take in one day. I think I can take rejections, however, in some of the cases, people will accuse that this is a scam and hang up the phone rudely. That is deal breaker for me so I can never sell things in this way.
