I'm not sure what its like in the US, but in Canada, use the following magic term:

"Please place me on your do not call list"

By Cdn law, they must stop the current call and then place your name in their computer system as name that they must NEVER call. All future lists they buy will be scrubbed against the do not call list, and sometimes this will trickle down to other telemarketers do not call lists as the scrub lists can get passed around.

The US has a do-not-call registry also, but it only applies to cold calls. Ie, if you already have an account with someone (credit card, bank, insurance, etc.) they can still call you with some great deal as part of their "customer service".
