Mastery Monday - Never Get Ripped Off Again Series

Mastery Monday - Never Get Ripped Off Again Series

Stand up for yourself, ask for consideration, ask the question again if you don't get an answer.

Too many times we ask a question in writing and they don't answer the question and provide some other response and we simply accept it as fact, blow it off or move on. It's frustrating when you can't get a straight answer and it seems to be the norm rather than the exception in many business dealings and personal situations today.

For instance I had an unsatisfactory experience with an airline. I sent something to their twitter account, they didn't address the question 3 times! I kept saying "you aren't answering the question." They kept ignoring the question and providing a different response. I finally reached out to their corporate issues email and actually talked to a real person who gave me a real answer and a resolution.

Maybe I push so hard because this is my expertise and I do this for a living both through consulting for others to get things resolved and for myself to see how much it takes to get a simple answer. I am relentless. I won't let people off the hook with a lousy answer or not solving the problem.

It's a shame we have to push so hard to get anything resolved and many give up. Keep going, don't give up and if you get stuck, PM me and I'll see what I can do to help. I've gotten thousands of dollars back for numerous different people and helped resolve numerous disputes.

Keep thinking like a negotiator!
