Definitely need to be assertive to get rid of women who will cling like a leech and then try to take you to their friends with promise of better price and generally harass you. If they go with you then they get a commission later from all your purchases and then want something from you for help. A polite thing to say is 'saya lebih suka sendirian terima kasih - I prefer on my own thanks. However may have to be more assertive than that or just ignore them.
