✅ Say "yes" to me!
➡️ There is a technique of small "yeses". You ask the boss who returned from vacation if he had a good rest. He answers "yes". How did you get the corks? - Yes. - Make coffee? - Yes. - With cream? - Yes. - Can I leave early on Friday? - Yes. So I got it, bunny.
Both the boss and the employees use the same tactics towards you.
- WHAT TO DO?
After the second “yes”, ask a counter-question and move the conversation to another topic, but not an abstract one. - Nastenka, will you have some candy? - I will, Anna Petrovna, along with your report, which was due yesterday. And it will not be easy for Anna Petrovna to hear a “yes” to her question, can the report be delayed for another week.
