How to avoid being stopped by insurance and financial agents

No offence to all agents out there who often get clients on the street.

This is just a little observation made from my own experience. I always get approached by such agents on the street, sometimes armed with little surveys asking you how much u save a month, and thereafter an offer for a 5 min chat that always end up becoming 30 min chats.

I've already thrown away countless name cards cos I have my own friends in this industry whom I will work with.
But anyway, here is how I usually not get stopped...

I walk with a laptop bag in hand, looking presentable... then they will think I am one of them and they will not come approach me.. =)

Once again, this is not to ridicule anyone from that industry.. it's just that I don't wanna waste anybody's precious time..especially when sometimes i'm rushing off.... to the mall.....
