Convincing rejection techniques

If you are embarrassed to refuse other people's requests, try this high EQ saying: "Reject positively + point out the difficulties + support with facts + express sympathy", which will definitely convince the other person.

No matter what the request is, using this trick can not only reject it all at once, but also resolve each other’s embarrassment.

If you are hesitant and evasive, it will make the other party mistakenly believe that there is an opportunity and make it easier to hurt feelings.

If you refuse directly and include your own reasons and promises, no normal person will continue to trouble you.

For example, if a friend asks you to borrow money, you can say this:

1. I’m so sorry, there’s really nothing I can do. (Positive rejection)

2. To tell you the truth, I have been particularly short of money recently. (Point out the difficulty)

3. Didn’t I just get a new job? The salary during the probation period is not enough for one month’s expenses. The landlord is also calling me every day to urge me to pay the rent. It’s extremely stressful. (Factual evidence)

4. I know your difficulties. If I have money, I will definitely lend it to you. (Expressing sympathy)

For another example, if your colleague asks you to help revise the PPT, you can do this step by step:

1. Sorry, I really can’t help you.

2. I am not as good as you in making PPT.

3. It’s not like you don’t know that the last time I did a work report PPT, my boss called me back three times, and I almost vomited.

4. PPT is indeed difficult to do, but I have a PPT template that someone else sent me before. I can send it to you for reference...

Let’s talk about it At this point, as long as the other party is not stupid, he will follow the steps.
