Respuesta rápida
How smart people say "I don't know" at work
At work, don't stop at "I don't know." Say "That's a good question" to give yourself a moment to think. Then say "Let me look into it" or "Let me get back to you" to promise that you will check and answer later. For example, "That's a good question. Let me look into it and get back to you" sounds calm and helpful, and you're still being honest.

Explicación de cada frase
-
That's a good question Polite, buys time
Use it when someone asks something you can't answer right away and you need a moment to think. Don't use it for every simple question, or people may feel you are avoiding the answer.
“That's a good question.”
-
Let me look into it Calm and helpful
Use it when you need to check something carefully before you answer. "Look into" means investigate or check. Say it only if you really plan to check.
“Let me look into it.”
-
Let me get back to you Professional promise
Use it when you will answer later, after you find the information. It's a promise, so follow up. Adding a time, like "by Thursday," makes it stronger.
“Let me get back to you.”
-
I'm not sure, but I'll find out. Honest and proactive
Use it when you want to admit you don't know and show you'll take action. It works with managers, clients, and coworkers.
“I'm not sure, but I'll find out.”
-
I'll need to check on that. Neutral, businesslike
Use it when the answer depends on information from someone else or from a system. It's fine in emails and on the phone.
“I'll need to check on that.”
-
I don't have that information right now. Direct and factual
Use it when you do not have the information you need to answer. If you can help, explain what you will do next so the other person knows what to expect.
“I don't have that information right now.”
Errores frecuentes
-
No del todo
I'll get back you tomorrow.Mejor I'll get back to you tomorrow.
The phrasal verb is "get back to" someone. Without "to," the sentence is not correct, and it can sound like "get you back."
-
No del todo
Let me look into.Mejor Let me look into it.
In this sentence, "look into" needs an object: "it" names the matter you will investigate. "Look at" can also mean examine or consider something, so "Let me look at it" can be correct too.
-
No del todo
That's a good question. (and then nothing more)Mejor That's a good question. Let me look into it.
"That's a good question" only buys time. If you don't add an answer or a next step, people may feel you are avoiding the question.
