Help on Asking for Favors

Asking for a favor? Before making your request, use flattery. But make sure that it is subtle and the compliments are genuine. Make the other person feel good and they'll be less likely to deny your request.

Nope. I prefer whoever is asking to come straight out with what they want and giving me a 'clean' opportunity to decide. If someone has buttered me up with flattery I might feel beholden to them, find it more difficult to say no (even if this is the only genuine answer) and then resent them for putting me in an awkward position. Much prefer a 'no sweat' approach, 'great if you can, no problem if you can't', as long as the request is upfront.
