Well for you it's easy isn't it? "No, you'll have to come back when my mum's home."

You should just hone up on your 'answering a question with a question'.
'...are you the home owner?' 'why do you want to know?' 'well, my firm produces excellent double glazing ....' 'was your mamma good to you when you were a baby?'

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Harry Bloomfield saying something like:
No, I'm just house-sitting while the owner's inside for hacking a salesman to pieces.

"Yes - but I'm a bit busy right now. Why don't you come back later - some time around midnight? It's a full moon and we're having a few friends round....."

Best answer is no answer, say nothing and close door.
Is you must say something:
"No thanks", close door
or
"None of your business", close door but that's more of my time than they deserve.

No that would be the head of the coven, he might be a bit busy waiting for the blood on the pentangle to dry, and sharpening the chainsaw. Would you like to go in and see him?

Say nothing ...just point to the little card on the door that says " No Sales Persons,No Collectors " and shut the door.

That is the correct answer. But I use an A4 sized display in the window that is visible to visitors before they get to the door.
The blind lady collecting for guide dogs did not see it, but what the hell, I gave her £20.

We had a small card behind the glass in the door but since we got a new plastic door with double glazed panels even quite a large font is unreadable through the obscured glazing. Anyone any thoughts on how to get the message across without using a 240pt font on a piece of A2?
The neighbour across has got a note taped to the outside of her door (which says she's not buying at the door and doesn't want to change her energy supplier or her god...) but I don't want to have anything as inelegant as that.

Point to the door under the stairs and say "Just go down to the cellar and wait, I won't be a moment..."

That's what I use on the US-based "you have won a holiday" people, the female ones at least. The male ones...I ask the colour of their boyfriend's underwear.
