Let Me Double Check That for You

Let Me Double Check That for You

May 23, 2019

One thing we all know is no one likes to be rejected. You don’t—I don’t—the folks next door don’t. And certainly, our customers don’t. Yet often we’re not able to satisfy folks—or even ourselves. Today’s blog covers how not to reject folks immediately. We call it “Reject Gently.” And it works.

 

 

When something isn’t available, or not ready, or you don’t have it—whatever it is—the words, “Let me double check that for you” will save the day. Every time!

Rather than blurting out a negative, start with a positive. Start with, “Let me double check that for you.” Sometimes we need to double check ourselves. Either way, it’s a good habit to get into.
