You can put qualifiers in so they only call you on the ones you want.
Not entirely true. I've turned down 4 Greenslips this month. Two because I wouldn't have been rested & two because I couldn't get into position in time. I answer every time they call, listen to the sales pitch & decide if I want/can accept it. Have never had an issue with turning one down. 9/10'times they thank me for answering my phone & move onto the next person.
