Say Yes, But Learn To Say No

Providing your clients with everything they need is great for the business, but you need to stay realistic. If you can do the requested job, great, do it. But if it is not possible for you, say no right from the beginning. It is okay to try, but you need to be realistic and have other clients to satisfy, so don’t be afraid of saying no.

Last, But Not The Least!

Stay polite. You cannot expect the clients to be happy with you if you are not polite with them. Always stay courteous with your words and tone. Use the words “kindly”, “please” “regrettably” etc. in your sentences to keep the politeness in check!
