I had a neighbor once who used to throw her cat out the door onto the salesmen. While not particularly kind to the cat, she was quite successful in ridding herself of solicitors.

ask them if they want to see pictures of your kids, ask about their kids, ask if they want some lemonade, ask what shoe size they wear, ask if they are married and how long, offer the lemonade again.
after that, they should go away.

Ask who's there before opening the door. Simple! If it's a solicitor tell them you are not interested and walk away from the door. Don't reply to what they say after telling them to go away.

My mom was born and raised in Germany. She taught my brothers and I how to talk in German. When a solicitor comes to the door I start talking in German. They usually leave.

I use to just say no thank you and close the door. Now I have a sign on the door that says no soliciting.

I just don't answer the door if they look like they could be solicitors.

I check through the window first to see if they're a hot guy, if they are i take my shirt off and answer the door in my bra. They usually forget what they were going to say.
if not, i listen to them, and say "can you come back when my husband gets home?" and let him deal with it!!!

I point at the "No Soliciting" sign next to my door, say have a nice day, and close the door.

I never buy from door to door people, so I just say no. Its not what I say , its how I say it. As to telephone sales, I never hang up, I lay the phone down quietly and let them rant on.....must cost them a few quid.

this is almost the only perk of looking young for my age, i say my parents are asleep and come to the door right now.

I listen to what they have to say. Then I say no thank you and close the door.

I have a nice wooden plaque that says NO SOLICITORS
ALLOWED. For the ones that didn't notice I point to the sign.
