But Sir...
But Sir, is one of the most common used word in the professional language.
More often than not, one faces a situation where you face one of the two things:1. The idea your boss gave about the new campaign is awesomely bad, and after long time, you have agreed to hear that deep down voice which always say "Don't say it", and are in the process of gathering courage to say it ornamentally.
You start with "But Sir....".
2. You put your hard work and dedication to a project, which is accompained with lots of sleepless night,
black coffee, no fun, but hard core work, and when you take it down to your boss with just one glance he says
"Well Rework", and it comes out abruptly,
" But Sir..."
All of us face this situation, and mostly follow the pattern, and remain dejected.
The Solution," Change your proposal".
Whenever you feel that you must utter "But Sir", do one thing.
"STOP".
Now for a minute think, what do you want out of this cases.
Your But sir, will aggrevate the situation, rather than minimize it.
Start using the power words.
" Sure Sir, I will rework on it", say this and just wait for the right time.
Most often, you will not even need to change the report, because the problem is not with the report, it is with the Timing.
Know the best time and you will crack the biggest deal in seconds.If the time is not right, then wait for it, or else, push yourself to bring the right time.
Patience pays.
and for Case 1, dont tell the disadvantage with the idea of your boss,
instead tell, how can the new idea solve the problem of the consumer/person in context.
