You can increase sales and profits by offering freebies to people who buy your main product or service. They increase the over all value of your main offer and in return people feel they're getting more for less.It's important that you have a high enough profit margin so you can afford to give them away.

Here are some possibilities.
1) Defer the conversation. Say, "I'd really like to hear what you have to say, and I'm working on this project. How about if we talk later during lunch?" This often works, especially if you boss is seeking a distraction during a work break.
2) Coach your boss. Say, "When you stop by to talk, that keeps me from working. As a result, I have to take work home and put in extra hours. And that gives me a lot of stress. It would help me a lot if we could talk during my free time, such as lunch. Can we do that?"
3) Assert your needs. Say, "I feel very uncomfortable when you talk to me about my coworkers. And I'd rather not do that." or "I feel very uncomfortable talking about this." or "I'd rather not talk now. I'm want to get this work done."

"Charge more?!" my client exclaimed. "I don't think I could do that.""Really? Why not?" I asked her."Well, because..."What followed were umpteen reasons that sounded legitimate. Sort of.

4) Ask for help. Say, "I need your help with something. I feel very uncomfortable hearing news about my coworkers while I'm working. I wonder if we could talk about something else during my free time."
5) Change the subject. If your boss begins sharing gossip, bring up a work related topic. For example, you could ask for information ("How are sales doing in the Western Region?) or directions ("Say, I have a question about what you want done on this report.") or guidance ("I wonder if you can suggest a way to improve our meeting with the new client.")
6) Be helpful. When your boss approaches your desk, set the direction by asking questions such as, "How can I help you?" or "What do you need?" And if you boss brushes that aside by saying, "Oh, I just stopped by to talk." then defer the conversation.
