Don't hate yourself for feeling as you do or for having trouble telling the callers no.
The have scripts and training to help make them as intimadting as possible in order to try and get the results they want.
You can do as I do and the moment they start their spiels I firmly say "No Thank You" and hang up on them.
If that is to much for you to remember or try when the situation arrises, then I would suggest that you keep a list of the things you might say by each of your phones and when they call simply choose the best answer from your list and say it to them then hang up.
You need to remember that every moment that they keep you on the line is another chance they have to try and win you over. Take charge and just hang up on them, it empowers you and frees them up to try their luck on someone else.
