One thing we all know is no one enjoys being rejected. You don’t, I don’t, the folks next door don’t. And certainly, our customers don’t.

Negative starts to a sentence are usually poorly received.

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.” Either way, it’s a good habit to get into.

Remember – REJECT GENTLY. It speaks VOLUMES.

This minute thirty video blog says it best.
