When seeking for further information, there are a few basic actions to take. Recognize that you require clarity. Admitting you need additional information simplifies the following step for the person you ask. Don't be evasive; simply say you don't understand. Finally, provide examples if possible. If you aren't clear in your own mind, others will not be able to help you. You need to know what you're looking for and how it relates to you. For example, if you're trying to select a car, it's important to understand its features versus those of another car. If you can't explain what you're looking for, it won't be easy for anyone else to find it either. Be specific and provide as many details as possible. For example, if you want to select a car based on fuel efficiency, make sure you get a model with at least one electric motor because that's where most of the effort goes into achieving high ratings. If you don't clearly communicate your needs, the person helping you will spend their time on things that aren't useful to you. They may try to guide you in the right direction by giving you various options or suggesting models to consider. But if you don't know what you're looking for, they can't help you find it. Asking questions and then listening carefully is the best way to ensure you get the information you need.
