Pitch meeting with a promoter in Ludhiana who interrupts every sentence.

Strong replies

Fair. Can I take one minute without interruption, then you ask whatever you like?

They accept the push, give the point at once, and calmly set a limit.

A weak reply

Please let me finish, sir, in an irritated tone. It sounds like a scolding.
