Don't be non-committal and say something vague like,“Can I help you?”because they might just say,“No, I'm good.”The key is to not sound patronizing. Be specific.“I had the same problem with this coffee machine in the morning. I think I have figured a way to make it work.”
不要害怕承诺并说一些模糊的话,“需要我的帮忙吗?”因为别人可能以为你只是说说,“不,我很好。”并要注意不要以恩人自居。要具体一点.” 早晨我也碰到这个咖啡机出现过同样的问题。我觉得我想到了一个办法能把它修好。”
Offer in a way that feels mutually beneficial.
用一种互惠互利的方式去帮助他人。
