I don't want to pass on cold-callers onto my colleagues but when I'm on the phone, my scumbag brain can't think of an excuse fast enough to blow them off and I also don't want to lie and give them fake info in case it becomes a professional relationship in the future.
What do you guys do in this situation?

Did you go to their event knowing that their product/service isn't in you "area of responsibility"?
