When you’re stumped or dealing with an angry customer, it can be easy to call your manager to bail you out of a tough situation. But, that should really be a last resort. Besides, you’re resourceful – you’ve got this!
Consider:
What did you do the last time you had a tough caller – could that work again?
If you took a moment and did a ‘power pose’ would that help?
What about asking a colleague for their ideas?
If you still need help, that’s ok, too! Let your boss know you did everything you could to find the answer on your own first.
