At work, using "I don't know" can make you sound unprofessional. Here are 3 alternatives that can help you respond more confidently and professionally:

  • Let me get back to you on this one. This phrase shows that you are taking responsibility and will follow up with the necessary information. For example, "I don't have the answer right now, but let me get back to you on this one".
  • I'm not entirely sure. This alternative is honest yet maintains a level of professionalism. It indicates that you might have some information but need to confirm it. For instance, "I'm not entirely sure about the details, but I will find out and let you know".
  • Let me check. A straightforward and effective response, this phrase shows your willingness to verify information before providing a definite answer. For example, "Let me check the figures and get back to you".
