How do you respond to cold calls?

I’ve gotten listings from cold calls before, but they were homeowners, not investors.  If an agent cold calls you with the intention to list one of your properties, how would you respond?  What are your thoughts on cold calls?

@Bill Plymouth - I've received a number of such calls and I let the cold-caller know that I'm a licensed real estate agent and that I tend to list my own properties. I also commend them for calling because most agents will not cold-call (fear of rejection is a bigger deal than many will admit). There was one time when the caller was terrible (clearly a newbie starting out) so I gave him a few pointers on how to better get the attention of the seller. I did Mike Ferry for a while so I tend to cringe at terrible cold-calling. Figured it would be nice to pay if forward and give a few minutes of advice, hopefully it helped that person.
