Translated from 日本語 • View original My career as a member of society has been almost in sales. Especially in my 20s and 30s, I experienced many negotiations with customers in a way that caused many problems and forced them to deal with overseas products.
I was also stationed in Germany and was suddenly seconded from the parent company when I first came to Karakul, and I experienced several situations where there were no allies in the company.
Based on such experience, I would like to talk about "be careful if the other person forces you to make two choices."
People who are forced to choose between
I think they are all around you. A person who is forced to make two choices.
For example, if someone says that there is a choice between "zero corona" and whether to stop economic activities drastically or freely engage in economic activities without stopping at all, this is also a pattern that forces two choices.
It is also the case that you should take out this insurance or not get such insurance.
There are many people like this in the world.
Is it really a binary choice?
Often the options are endless.
Of course, not all of the infinite options may be worth considering, but in most cases, there are several types of choices, and there are gradations of strength and weakness for each item, so there are often quite a lot of options.
Therefore, basically "there are no two options".
How to Invite a Good Date
This is a story I heard from a popular man.
The best way to ask a girl on a date is to ask two choices, such as "There is delicious Chinese or wonderful Italian, which one is better?"
If you think about it, there should be an option of "no, I won't go out to dinner with you", but it is not included. It should be good for lunch.
It's a good trick. Laughter
People who are forced to make two choices within the company
A boss who is forced to choose between doing it or not doing it, and a subordinate who is pressing for a choice about how to proceed with the business. Isn't it common?
People who habitually force two choices are people who do not give the other person enough information and try to do things the way they want.
In fact, when I had just come to Karakul and didn't know much about the business, there were always people who would force me to choose between two things. At first, I couldn't deal with it well and was like, "I feel like something is wrong," but one day I realized.
"There are not two options!"
After that, I tried to tell him, "I don't trust people who always force me to make two choices," so that person stopped forcing me to make two choices. Laughter
It was a story that you should be careful about the two choices.
