I'm not sure what the correct name for this job/these people is, but near my house theres a busy station and crossing I pass through a couple of times most days.
This location especially at night attracts a lot of street sellers. Do you wanna come to my shady club for nomihoudai, karaoke, spend all your money buying these girls drinks... ect.
I always just try to ignore them. But sometimes they just don't give up. What is the best way to reply to them in Japanese to give them a firm no, and to leave me alone?

I think you should not give them a Japanese word. Just say "No" in your native language with anger. If you say anything in Japanese they might consider you might be a possible guest.
They are called Kyaku-hiki and many Japanese cities including Osaka city prohibit Kyaku-hiki. Please ask your ward office for the action to stop Kyaku-hiki. Most of Japanese people don't like Kyaku-hiki and a request from foreigners tend to have stronger impact.

The best is not to reply to them at all. Just ignore them, and they won't pay you much attention.
