How do you keep calm when speaking to a knob...?

Question

I love sales, I hate it sometimes but the majority of the time I love my job.

There are times however when I speak to some people who are just unnecessarily rude to the point that I would like to call them out of their name.

How detrimental is it to call a spade a spade when they are acting like a spade?

And, does anyone have any techniques that they go to when you feel yourself losing it with someone?

Accepted Answer

If someone is being an asshole I like to call it like it is. Saying something along the lines of "I'm getting the feeling that you don't really want to be having this conversation right now, should we end things here?" is a good way to call them out while still being mature and professional.

Answer

Part of the job is how I look at it. If someone is being that much of an ass 9/10 times they are not worth it and I'll tell them I don't think this is going to be a fit. Always better to take the high road.

Answer

Something that helps me is keeping in mind that them lashing out at me is more a reflection of them than of me.

Answer

If they lash out, that's how they are, their reflection isGot to next one saying to this one openly that you ain't a fit
