Don't say anything else, don't try to be nice. The logic is if you let them in and are nice to them they will sell you something, you have wasted their time and they are then determined to sell you something.

Don't be intimidated, if they were going to hurt you they would have already done it.

1. Dont let them in.
2. Dont give them a drink (that tactic is called small favor then big favor)
3. If you have a storm door, keep it locked and dont even unlock it.
4. No, Go Away is the only thing you should say to them before closing the door on them.
Normally, I don't give eye contact, talk or open the door. I thought it was Capital Electric or something. Something similar to vendor name my roommate
deals with. I didnt know it was food solicitation or I would not have opened the door. That was a costly mistake on my part.
