Requesting a favor can go better if you throw in a bit of professionalism at it. No one is asking that you take classes in begging – we simply are interested in conferring on you those skills and behavioral attributes that will keep everyone from saying ‘No’ to you. However, this doesn’t confer on anyone the feeling of entitlement. People are allowed to say ‘No’ which is one skill you need for asking a favor.

Below are ways to increase your chances of getting more positive answers in 2021.

Provide Value With Your Requests

A larger percent of humanity are individualistic, only freeing their resources for what benefits them. Contrary to popular belief, this trait is good and necessary to keep humans in existence. You’re more likely to have your request granted if it presents value to the other party. So don’t be selfish and include something for the other person while you beg.

Be Positive

Mentality is the most important thing in getting your request granted. Before approaching the other person, first, develop a positive mind that your request will be granted. This kind of positivity radiates the room, thereby, increasing the chances of having your request granted.

Be Truthful

Don’t contort stories when asking for a favor. Lying is a turnoff for most people and can kill your chances when discovered. Always speak the truth and state the exact reasons why you need such favor.
