As I've said in my post, I've already done what most of you suggested. My problem now is that this agent friend is not selling me anything, he just want to talk to me regarding investment funds, etc. I don't have to get anything from him, I just need to alot some time for him for this discussion.

It's fine with me if we'll sit down and talk something else, just not those investment things, as I don't have plans for those as of the moment.

So how do I say no? I don't want to sound rude nor giving the impression that I don't have time for him or don't want to see him.

I tell them straight on their face that I think it's a scam and just like any networking stupidity, ung sa taas lang ang kumikita.

Even the healthy juices na inooffer ngayon, I just don't believe in such things. Nakakainis pa nyan, parang ikaw pa masama pag ayaw mong pansinin. Ikaw pa ung mawawalan ng opportunity daw. In my opinion, they should'nt be considered as friends since ang gusto lang nila eh ang pagkakitaan ka nila.

Meron ako dating friend, nagbebenta ng mga shares sa Highlands, puro na lang sabi nya malapit na daw ung commission nya. Until now wala pa din asesno and ang balita ko hindi pa dumadating ung commission nya. Not to generalize naman pero ung mga tao in the SALES industry natural na na manloloko, kahit agents sa car dealers pag kinakausap ako dinederecho ko na WAG MO NA KO BOLABOLAHIN I'M INTERESTED ON THE CAR, DID MY REASERCH JUST SHOW GIVE ME A GOOD DEAL. Layuan ung mga ganyan!

Nako don't agree to meet up with him in anyway, kung di ka interesado I'm sure tatanga ka lang sa meeting. May ganyan na dati sakin e, sa kakakulit pumayag ako. Ayun di ko tinitignan ung presentation sa laptop nya. Silip silip na lang ako ng mga auto sa labas.

Sabihin mo ayaw mo lang and ayaw mo na sayangin oras nyong dalawa. Mas magandang question.. IKAW BA MERON NYANG BINEBENTA MO?

Kung ako yan. Sasabihin ko prangkahan. "Sa dami nang nagsara na insurance company ala na ko tiwala sa ganung business, sorry am not interested". Ganun kadali.

Its hard to please everybody, so umpisa pa lang kung kaya mo ng sabihan, do it.

Ayos. pero parang ang rude naman ng dating......

Siguro nga tama na tell them straight at their face na kahit anong bola nila sayo o pakiusap you won't get their offer......ganun na lang siguro

Then just tell them that you are currently in the market for ricelands
and nothing else.

Eto pinaka effective na na discover ko na sagot.

Isa pa when somebody talks to me about investments
sinasabi ko na me nagbebenta sa akin ng rancho 4 million lang
600 hectares. Bakit ako mag invest dyan?

Which totoo naman na me nag alok sa akin, and napansin ko wala na
nag follow up pag sinasabi ko yan.
