| An answer you can use | A question to keep open |
|---|---|
| Specific A named person, a named product and written terms you can take away. | Still vague A broad assurance that does not answer who, what or how. |
| Room to think Ask for time to read the plan and raise another question. | Still rushed If the conversation feels hurried, bring it back to the point you need explained. |
