How many times have you responded, “no problem?” I know I have. But that phrase can be a “problem”, believe it or not!
Why?
Because saying “no problem” might imply that it might have been a problem.
And sure, your intent is to convey that the request is easily fulfilled, or that you’re happy to have helped. Your intentions are in the right place. Your words may not be.
Try one of these instead:
- “Absolutely!”
- “Certainly”
- “I’m happy to help!”
Seriously, your words do matter. Make sure they are not a “problem” for you.
