How To Say 'I Don't Know' With Confidence
No one knows the answer to every question. No matter how diligently you study up on your products or offer, there’s bound to come a time when you face a question that you can’t handle off the top of your head. Don’t become paralyzed by the need to know everything about your product or offer, you can’t know it all. Someone’s always going to ask that one question that makes you say to yourself, “I should have known that.”
