I run a small business in my country where I import and sell action figures. There’s this client who keeps asking me about how he can do the same thing I do—where to buy, etc. He’s mentioning that his contract with his current job is ending soon and he wants an additional source of income. Tbf this person has always seemed to have low social skills in the way he asks things but what do i know. I would say im the one with the best know-how in the market right now due to my knowledge of apps, automation, etc. My small business is currently my only source of income. What should I tell him? I want to be polite unlike him lol
“it’s hard to say”, my favorite response to all things I can say but I don’t want to say.
I’m not comfortable discussing it. I tend to be much more direct than most people though.
I second this. I literally use this to be diplomatic while blowing off the question. Why would you share your trade secrets with a potential competitor? People are so ignorant.
