no it's not like that

When presenting a sales proposition, what to respond when the receipient of the proposal says "But we don't want to be at loss"

Sentence 1: "No! it's not like that!"
State firmly. Insist that whatever "be at loss" was, or how likely that outcome might be, "NO!", insist "It's NOT like that."

Sentence 2: "You won't be at loss"
Having made the point, make the point again: It is "NOT" like that, you won't be at loss. (Here at loss can of course be many things, "loose money", "be fucked in the ass", "be defamed due to"... etc.

Sentence 3: "We will take the loss for you."
This is where you explain why he won't be at loss, because you will be. "You see, we'll be doing all the hard work, taking all the risks, bending over backwards, and then some. (go into details on the places where he might be at loss, but each case being covered by you).

Making sure to speak firmly and reasonably at each step.

How to trick girls in to a date

In the good old days when girls were "dumb"... it was customary for experienced elder bro to advise his younger bro on how to ask a girl out: she will obviously have an answer like "yeah, I have plans already" if you ask on thursday. BUT if you ask her "What you doing this Friday" on monday, surely, she won't have anything in mind.... Leading to her to be unable to refuse...
(yes, several people actually advised me to do this)

so I did, and here's her response:

"uhhh, I don't know yet... But there are a few people I'm asking out... You can check back later"


hehe... some how, she responded in time, and felt perfectly natural to say to me that there plenty of people she'd rather be with...

Anyway, the lesson is... that move only works on really good friends with whom you can insist:

"Who? Who were you going to ask out that you'd rather spend time with than me??!!"

segways

(some times when interrupting, but mostly to regain attention)

"Speaking of nucular reactors, Did you hear about the one in ..."

"On a related note, our business on the other side is in serious green..."

"Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the logs are collecting dust..."

"Yeah, but that was from blah of yesteryear. today we mass produce this with a flick of a switch"

"Alternatively, we could consider it as follows"

"Let's focus on the road ahead."

"Let's not loose focus on the task at hand."

etc.
