During the survey
Interrupt politely
If you want to add something, ask a follow-up question, or you don't quite agree — jump in politely rather than waiting for your partner to finish completely.
Useful phrases:
Sorry to interrupt, but…Can I just say…?Sorry, can I just ask…?Hang on, what do you mean by…?Actually, can I add something?
💡
Tip A short, polite phrase before you speak makes interrupting feel natural rather than rude — try to use at least one during the survey.
