Influencing Styles with a complaint may seem overeager and impulsive. They may also come across as manipulative. Under stress, Influencing Style’s primary response may be to disregard the facts and anything you say. But you can address their needs by giving them:

• Personal attention;
• Affirmation of their position;
• Lots of verbal give-and-take;
• Assurance that effort is being saved.

You’d be better off to give Influencing Styles a quick-paced, spirited explanation that shows you aren’t just brushing them off.
