Shhh

from my email:

Do Not Interrupt Frequently interrupting customers when they are speaking sends a negative message. It's usually done for one of these reasons: The other person said something that energized you and you just couldn't wait to contribute your idea. You disagreed with the customer and were so angry or disturbed by his/her position that you felt compelled to state your own. You felt the customer was being long-winded, and you were too impatient to allow him/her to finish. None of these are valid reasons to interrupt a customer. Whatever you gain by getting your two cents in prematurely, you may lose from a relationship perspective. You may be making a valid point, but your customer may not appreciate your delivery method.
