I don't receive very many speculative calls from salespeople.  If I do, then I decide whether the service they are providing is one in which we might be interested, particularly when we review expenditure and suppliers, and divert it to our administration department which deals with copiers, stationery, HR etc.  

I thoroughly dislike people who try to play tricks with me and my boss won't speak to anyone who won't speak with me, but I'm always courteous.

However, one has to remember that people selling services are human too and are trying to make a living in an increasingly tough market.  For many such businesses, investing money and time in speculative calls is very much part of their strategy.
