Nobody wants to go back on his or her word, but you may need to step back and make room for opportunities that best align with what you want to do or achieve. But what if you've agreed to commit and need to cancel at the last minute? The scripts above are useful when turning down a request as it's presented to you. You can tweak any of these 4 scripts to best convey your decision and the reasons behind it. There's no room for false hope and you can rest assured that you're still on track with your schedule and goals. If you've got no time or interest in fulfilling the request, a straightforward no is the best answer you can give. If you're absolutely sure this is something you want to consider again, offer to reschedule at a better time when you can devote your full attention. This is best for when you truly believe the request is worth looking into again in the future. You can then follow it up with an honest reason why you can't accept the request or why you won't be able to make it to this engagement. Start on a positive note by sincerely complimenting or thanking the person for thinking of you. As a busy leader, you often need to think things through before making any decisions.
This is a polite and professional way of asking for more time to consider the request.
