Secret # 4: Control Your Hot Buttons with Verbal Aikido

Thanks to those of you who have registered for our upcoming webinar – Powerful Communication Secrets to Get Outstanding Results!  This article contains all 4 secrets to entice you to sign up if you haven’t already done so.  😉

The 4^th webinar secret is verbal aikido – it’s about diplomatically dealing with difficult people – especially when they push you. The person who pulls back wins in martial arts.  It’s the same thing when we have conversations with people who TRY to make us defensive.

Here’s an example of an angry client attacking you:
The client says, “I requested the material 3 weeks ago and I still didn’t receive it.  What’s wrong with your company?”
A typical response is – “This is not my department and I have no idea what happened to your material” or “We are short staffed and are doing the best that we can.”

This person got defensive and you can only imagine how the conversation would escalate into an even more heated conversation. One way to use verbal aikido is to accept criticism.

For example:

“You’re right, it has been 3 weeks, I apologize for this and will have it in your hands today.  We have been short staff, even though this is NO excuse.  Call me in one hour if you don’t receive the information.  You can count on me.”
