Part 3: HOW TO RESOLVE CONFLICT QUICKLY

Watch part 2 here.

After a direct conflict, you will want to get the business relationship back to normal - clear the air.

Is an apology necessary? Go ahead and apologize!

Here’s how to resolve conflict quickly and effectively:

• Try: “I don’t like how our conversation went yesterday and I’d really like to clear the air if that’s ok with you.”

  Or

• Try: “I’m really disappointed that we had a bit of a conflict earlier today, do you have some time to chat in an effort to clear the air and put it behind us.”

9/10 times this will be effective because the other person usually does not want a conflict either because it is uncomfortable.

*Don’t let too much time go by because that makes things even MORE awkward.*
