Professionally saying No!
Stop being afraid to tell you parents, customers, and friends no. It’s pulling you behind and hindering you from progressing in all aspects.
Telling your friends no.
- Makes you more trustworthy. Being stern and confident in your answers carries a sense of certainty. Being honest is a piece of courtesy.
- When people ask for feedback. They are really asking for constructive criticism. Saying everything is fine all the time shatters the friendship little by little.
- Saying yes all the time makes you less reliable. We all have that one friend that commits to everything and almost never delivers. Don’t be that guy
Telling your colleagues no.
- Give honest feedback even if it includes drawback. Giving the company positive responses repeatedly means you’re not fully engaged.
- Please be professional! Start of with a positive notion and lead into suggestions. Be cautious of what you are going to say and remember your coworkers are people too.
Telling your your customers no.
- It portrays you as more genuine. Most salesmen or employees always tell yes the customer because that’s something they “want” to hear. NO!
- Displays you as an expert. Taking control of a situation and telling Mr. Johnson that you may not do business with him is saying you have lengthy experience.
- Gives you control of the situation. Being a good salesmen means taking the lead and guiding this experience. Besides you should get a few no’s from the customer before you close the deal anyways.
