"Now's not a good time as I'm in the milled of something.How about our reconnecting at X time?"It's common to get sudden requests for help when you are in the middle of something.Something you get phone calls from friends or associates when you're in a meeting or doing important work.This method is a great way to hold off the request temporarily.First,you let the person know it's not a good time as you are doing something.Secondly,you make known your desire to help by suggesting another time at your convenience.This way,the person doesn't feel blown off.
B
"This doesn't meet my needs now but I'll be sure to keep you in mind."If someone is recommending a deal/opportunity which isn't what you are looking for,let him/her know straight-out that it doesn't meet your needs.Otherwise,the discussion can drag on longer than it should.It helps as the person knows it's nothing wrong about what he'/she is offering,but that you are looking for something else.At the same time,by saying you'll keep him/her in mind,it signals you are open to future opportunities.
C
"I'd love to do this,but…"You can use this as it's a gentle way of breaking no to the other party.It's encouraging as it lets the person know you like the idea (of course,only say this if you do like it) and there's nothing wrong about it.I often get suggestions from fellow loggers and business associates which I can't participate in and use this method to gently say no.Their ideas are absolutely great,but I can't take part due to other reasons such as more important affairs or different needs.
D
"I'm not the best person to help on this.Why don't you try X?"If you are being asked for help in something which you contribute much to or don't have resources to help,let it be known they are looking at the wrong person.If possible,refer them to a lead they can follow-up on-whether it's someone you know,someone who might know someone else,or even a department.I always make it a point to offer an alternate contact so the person doesn't end up in despair.This way you help direct the person in the right place.
E
"Let me think about it first and I'll get back to you."This is more like a"Maybe"than a straight out."No".If you are interested but you don't want to say‘yes'just yet,use this.Sometimes I'm offered a great idea which meets my needs,but I want to hold off on committing as I want some time to think first.There are times when new considerations pop up and I want to be certain of the decision before committing myself.If the person is sincere about the request,he/she will be more than happy to wait short while.Specify a date/time-range(say,in 1-2weeks) where the person can expect a reply.
F
"No,I can't is the simplest and most direct way to say no.As social beings,we should develop the sense of cooperation,but it doesn't necessarily mean that we have to give up our own principles of life.In fact,the ability to distinguish between right and wrong and the courage to say"No"to unreasonable requests or advice is a sign of maturity.Once you do that you'll find how easy it actually is.You'll get more time for yourself,your work and things that are most important for you.
