Hi
I'd like to ask you about the parapgraph below:
Tips for handling unrealistic people.
Ask how, exactly.
If you have even the slightest suspicion about someone's ability to deliver, ask them to let you have confirmation in writing of exactly how they'll be doing what you've asked.
This will unfortunately mean putting to one side your excitement at the fact that they've apparently promised you a fantastic deal/bargain/delivery date, but it's enough that you've caught them being unrealistic without you getting caught in the same trap.
--- I'm not sure I understand the part in bold. Does it say that by asking them to write how they'll be doing their task your excitement will fade, but at the same time you will discover that what they promised is unrealistic and you won't get into a trap.
I'm not sure this is what it says.
Thanks
