Take the damn survey. They'll stop asking and you may win a christmas ham!

I am a Jewish Muslim atheist, and already my own ham. And no, I am not that flexible and don't eat myself.

That being said, I took some survey's for money and made pennies at it, literal pennies. Mechanical Turk is not a viable income source.

Give them a bad score.  That'll teach them!

Brian, make sure to pick the bottom option: Fuck all polls!

I used to drive a for company that was contracted to do home delivery for a certain orange big box home center chain. They conducted phone surveys after the delivery for quality control. The company instructed their drivers to hand out these cards at every delivery that essentially explained they might get a phone call survey about the delivery and that their favorable responses to the survey were important to the delivery person remaining employed yada yada yada.

Apparently the company management were all functionally illiterate because the text on the card was chock a block full of spelling and grammar errors. I refused to give the cards out because it was too embarrassing. The company management was also inept when it came to management because they would go over the survey scores in monthly meetings with the drivers and they'd say things like well you guys know our goal is an average score of 97.5% on these surveys and you guys are at 98.5%. So yeah you beat the goal but not by much, you really need to focus and try harder.' Yeah, working for them sucked.

These days I manage truck drivers. As part of my job I work with vehicle lease vendors to source our trucks. So I get emails from Penske all the time asking me to fill out a survey about some recent service we had on a truck or some such. My boss is copied on the email so I have to complete the surveys. My first year on this role I was actually honest and gave them low scores when they screwed up. Then one day our customer rep shows up and wants to take me out to lunch. At lunch he takes out a book that has every response to every survey I gave during the previous year. And he goes over every single low score I gave and I have to talk about it detail. End result? Now I fly through the surveys and give everything the highest score. I don't even read the questions.

NO, they won't. They'll sell or otherwise provide your contact info to dozens of other such pests.

You will likely have to put it in writing to get them to stop.  I've found the phrase "cease and desist" to be fairly effective.

Or ask to speak to a higher up, tell them what you've told us here, write down their name, the date and time,and then when you get another call ask to speak to the supervisor over/above the person whose name you wrote down.  Repeat as necessary.  You'll spend less time going up the chain than you will fielding the calls.

Then don't give accurate contact info. 

You must have different sales in NC.

FUCKING pestering me to take a survey to give them a good score.

I don't take surveys for anyone. I had a couple things needed to be fixed, so far they have done that. I've told them repeatedly I don't take surveys. If I have a problem I call them up. I don't need anyone bothering me at home over the phone or in person after a sale. 

If you are doing something wrong, I will tell you. If you are not, then you don't need to ask me anything.

Interestingly, the same thing happened to me, except it was a car dealer. Upon closing the deal for my new truck I gave the salesman strict instructions not to pass my unlisted phone number to anyone because I valued my privacy. Within a few days, however, I started receiving calls from Detroit, asking me to take a survey on Chevy vehicles and inquiring if there were related products I might be interested in purchasing. I promptly had my phone number changed, but not before contacting the salesman and informing him that his dealership had just lost my business because he refused to follow my instructions. He started to offer some lame excuses, but I hung up on him.
