Sorry Mike but I need to reschedule

[Mikey P]

My response works like a charm...

 

[Old Coastie]

Today the lady said “Here just keep this key until Friday.”
“I’ll keep it next to my heart” I promised, tucking it into my wallet.

“You sure have a nice heart!” she laughed...

And in all modesty, she’s right!

 

[SamIam]

Seems kinda desperate Hahahaha!

Happened to me a few weeks ago. The tech was already at the property waiting. he arrived early to secure parking. This was a rental turnaround and the customer booked 3 weeks in advance.

Custy: "my asst. is having car issues and can't meet u today. we need to reschedule"

Me: "That's fine but you'll have to wait 2 weeks before i can see you again- or you can give me the code for the realtor box"

Custy: "The code is ****"

The next day she booked another appointment with me-- told her it would be a "standby type" --meaning I couldn't give her an exact arrive time and there is a chance I might not make it.-- she took it. Turned out to be a nice, quick filler job for me and she was very happy.

When responding to customers change "to be honest" to "Actually"
"to be honest" implies you are not honest some of the time.

"to be honest" implies you are not honest some of the time.

That's a pet peeve of mine too.

I know most don't mean that when they say it, but I often reply "If you have to qualify that, does it mean its a bit unusual for you to be honest?"

I also hate...HATE..the "I ain't gonna lie" line people use before making some kind of statement. My employees and children have learned not to say that to me.

I think this means I am officially a cranky old man...

My answer "Perfect. I've already got my fishing rod and tackle box in the van."

Just like saying ‘NO PROBLEM ‘.
2 negative words in the reply.
ALWAYS SAY ‘MOST CERTAINLY ‘.
Just something a business coach taught me...

 

[Kenny Hayes]

NO PROBLEM burns my ass! Stupid millennials! And I’m with you Jim.

"Epic" is my trigger word.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Does that mean you’re for it, agin it?

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I did a house yesterday, it was Epic

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

[Sierra Clean Care]

Or when some idiot says ‘word’...
And then looks around and nods, like everyone is on the same retarded brain wave....

 

[Hoody]

Millennials will typically only say you're welcome, sarcastically, when Boomers and Gen Xer's start feeling entitled and forget their manners(like when a door is held for you) and you don't say thank you. Otherwise, they're letting you know that whatever task they performed was truly not an issue or inconvenience and they were happy to do it. You may think millenials are stupid, but don't forget who raised them. That is the millenial argument, anyways.


I'm sorry I'm an antagonist

But really, I use you're welcome and no problem interchangeably depending on who I am talking to.

Epic and word are a no go, unless I'm joking with friends. The "to be honest" was a bad habit of mine and I will slip up occasionally and consciously fix it.
