While there may be other grounds for telling them not to call you, the
do not call list is not one of them as it does not apply to business
to business solicitations.

"The national Do-Not-Call list protects home voice or personal
wireless phone numbers only. While you may be able to register a
business number, your registration will not make telephone
solicitations to that number unlawful."

tell them to go away....

You know, if you're in the U.S., on the No Call list, and you tell
them specifically not to call you again, they're doing something
illegal and can be fined up to $16,000 dollars for it. Though I hear
that the FTC doesn't actually enforce it too well. May want to try
waving the stick at them at least.
