TIPS

 Be very polite and assertive. If they ignore your request and
continue to talk, you may need to be more assertive.
 Don't make the same excuses all the time, the other person
may get the hint.
 If they keep calling, and you don't like them, tell them you're
busy or just rudely and impolitely hang up on the person. If they're
smart they will take the hint.
 If you have a caller ID, and the person keeps calling, ignore
the calls. They will definitely get the hint after five times or so.

WARNINGS

 If you choose to use the final one be careful how often you use
it, and keep them away from your pet,(or kid or little Sib) until
they had time for their (imaginary) injuries to heal. You might
want to say that your pet or kid has 'escaped', because this doesn't
involve injuries.
 Do not use ridiculous excuses, such as, "I have to go eat my
pie now," or "Sorry, I have to go watch television/check my
email." This will irritate and anger the person you are talking to.

Read and memorize the terminology with its definition:

Abandoned call: A call or the other type of contact that has been
offered into a communications network or telephone system, but is
terminated by the person originating the contact before any
conversation happens. In an outbound calling scenario, an abandoned
call refers to a call that is disconnected by the automated dialer once
live contact is detected and no agent is available to match up with the
call.

Beep tone: An audible notification that a call has arrived (also called
Zip Tone). Beep tone can also refer to the audible notification that a
call is being monitored.
