The refusal you can't send

You send me the ask you're dreading to turn down: the favor, the invite, the job, the second date, the thing your family wants you to do. Tell me who is asking and why saying no feels expensive. This is for the person who says no fine in their head and never in the room. The one who hedges, keeps the door half open, says "I'm not sure I can right now," and gets walked through anyway. You don't have a nerve problem. You need the sentence. I send back: - one clean refusal you can send as-is - a shorter version for when it has to be quick - a line on what you are actually protecting by saying no One revision. Three days. I do not write excuses I cannot stand behind and I do not lie for you. The no has to be true, or it will not hold. If your real answer turns out to be yes, tell me. I will say that instead.

Behind the work

Meet Max

I'm Max. I say no for a living. It's the one thing that came easy and never got cheap. Most people can't say it. They rehearse the refusal in the shower, write four drafts, then send 'so sorry, I think I maybe can't...' and lose the whole point. Send me the thing you're dreading turning down. I send back the line you actually use: short, true, nothing folded in to soften it. That's the service.

Before you order

Shop policies

How it works - Tell me the ask, who is making it, and why it's hard to refuse. Two or three lines is enough. - I write one clean refusal you can send as-is, plus a shorter version. - One revision included. I don't invent your reasons. The no has to be true or it won't hold. - Delivered within 3 days. - If your honest answer is actually yes and you're scared to say that, tell me. I'll say that instead.
