【Smart Tips】Say No其实很简单。。

[i=s] 本帖最后由 evaxiaofan 于 2010-12-1 11:15 编辑 [/i]

The trick to saying “no” is to do it in a way that doesn’t invite discussion. These strategies will head off any arguments.

[b][color=black]Step 1: [/color][color=black]Just say "no"[/color][/b]
Just say “no” – don’t offer any reasons for your refusal. Simply say, “I’m so sorry, but I can’t.” Then change the subject. Otherwise, you invite the person to challenge your excuse.

[b][color=black]Step 2: [/color][color=black]Sandwich it[/color][/b]
If you can’t be that abrupt, slip your “no” between two positive statements. For example, “I’m so flattered you asked! Unfortunately, I can’t do it. But aren’t you nice to think of me!”

[b][color=black]Step 3: [/color][color=black]Offer an alternative[/color][/b]
Offer an alternative if you can, such as, “Why not ask Susie? I’m sure she’d love to.” This is especially satisfying if you know Susie will dread the request.

[b][color=black]Step 4: [/color][color=black]Compromise[/color][/b]
If you feel guilty about declining, make the person a counteroffer. Say, “I can’t do that, but here’s what I [i]can[/i] do.”

[b][color=black]Step 5: [/color][color=black]Compliment them[/color][/b]
End on a positive note by complimenting the person. It will take the sting out of your rejection. We’re all suckers for a compliment, even if we suspect it’s insincere.
