How do YOU tell another Agent to HUSH!

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage~ Ginger Harper Real Estate Team 93383

 

I just read a post from another Active Rainer regarding folks that just talk too much and waste your time when you are busier than a "one armed Paper Hanger".

 

WE have a few agents in our workplace that just like to talk and when you see them coming , you want to cringe because you have not compeleted the project that you are working on.

 

I have yet to find the right words to let them know that I am busy and do not have time to chit chat.

 

They will begin a story that goes on and on and there seems to be no ending.

 

Love these folks but talk with me after hours.  I do not need to know every detail nor learn about a friend that I do not know and will never meet.

I haven't found a direct way to tell anyone to hush either.  Many of my colleagues are used to seeing me with headphones on while listening to a webinar.  I just put my headphones on when I need quiet and they walk by without saying a word.

I feel your pain and I'd love to know the answer as well. LOL I have one that comes into my office way to often. :)

One reason that I quit working in a "Big Office" a long time ago, is the yakkers and talkers that want to eat up your time.

Everyone knew at my former Brokerage that I am a very direct person...i just come out and tell then I am busy.

Ginger... that is one reason you virtually never see me in the office. I work out of my home and have way fewer unwanted distractions.

Karen,  I have not found an easy way to tell other that I need to work.  Maybe I will just say..."I have work to do"..

Ginger,

It is so easy for us, we distract them with something completely non sensical like  one does with kids, and off we go with "Gotta Go" .  What one does not realize is that this type of person is on automatic, and the distraction turns the switch off.
