What is
a) tell them, “I want to give my full attention to what you have to say. I’ll be finished here in 10 minutes. Can you come back then, or can I come find you?”
b) If they’ve just stopped to chat, say, “I’m sorry, I’m swamped here. Thanks for stopping by?”
c) If they’re already sitting down and your other tactics aren’t working, think of another place you suddenly have to be and say, “I’m on my way out?
d) pay them to go away?
