There are many ways to ask for a favor, but whether you're giving a gift or something else, you have to make it clear what you mean.It is not difficult for people to find that the same request content is expressed by different people in different ways and languages, and the results are often different.So, how can you make the person being asked willing to agree to your request?Here are some specific techniques for asking for help, which may help.

1. Touch people with emotion

Generally used for larger or more important things.Integrate the request for people into the emotional narrative, or state your own situation, to express that it is a last resort to ask for help; fully clarify that what you are asking for is not irrelevant to the person being requested, so that the other party cannot bear to be indifferent and stand by.

2. "Praise" first and then seek

The so-called "praise" here refers to just right and down-to-earth praise, and does not include exaggerated flattery.No one will refuse other people's compliments, so when asking for help, say something that the other party is willing to listen to, which is also a good way to ask for help.

3. Commitment to mutual benefit

There is no free lunch in the world, and the principle of mutual benefit should also be paid attention to when asking for help.When asking for help, do not forget to express your willingness to give the other party some kind of return, or keep in mind the benefits provided by the other party. Even if you cannot repay the other party immediately, you will definitely help the other party when they need you.Coupled with a promise of mutual benefit, it will make the other party feel that his contribution is worthwhile, and at the same time, he will have a better impression of the help-seeker.

4. Look for transitions

If you ask for help from someone you are particularly close and familiar with, you can be straightforward and casual.But sometimes when seeking help from ordinary people, strangers or people with higher social status, it often requires a process of introduction.This import process can be long or short, depending on the situation.

In addition, try to prevent your words from inadvertently offending the other party.Therefore, when you need something from someone, you should know the other party in advance. If you accidentally bump into the other party, all previous efforts will be wasted.
