Ask for what you need more effectively

👉 ‘Because’

When you provide a reason, compliance increases. You’re more likely to get a positive response when people understand why you’re asking.

So next time you need support, try something like:

“Could you give me feedback on this today, because I want to get it out by tomorrow?”
-or-
“Would you mind reviewing this now, because it’s easier to tweak before the meeting?”

Add a reason. Get a result.
