As soon as anyone shows even a glimmer of interest, start to reverse the process and take it away from them.  Start to make it a little more difficult for them.   Start a little more skeptical of them; letting them know that:

- Hey, I might not stay here much longer.

- Who do you know that might be interested in this?

- I don't want to waste your time, I don't want you waste my time, so before I go any further I do need to ask you a few questions. May I do so?
