Remember this?
Ask politely and directly for what you want.
Take a chance on getting slapped, you might get kissed!
Well there’s a more important part to this: FOLLOW UP.
People are full of good will & good intentions,
and they also live a full life.
All too often their life gets in the way of your needs, so to speak.
Polite but firm followup makes ALL the difference!
(Figure out a way to follow up on yourself too!)
