It’s easy (and natural for many) to say:
“I don’t make the rules; I just follow them.”
Or…
“It’s above my pay grade.”
Or…
“The guy who does THAT isn’t here.”
But what customer /client / prospect likes hearing that crap?
Here’s a four-word phrase to give instead:
“That should be fine.”
It’s:
- Empowering.
- Simple.
- Something that ALL customers like hearing more than, “It’s not my fault / job / decision.”
Four words.
“That should be fine.”
Sales, client satisfaction, client retention et al. will all dramatically improve.
Empower away.
