Exactly What to Say - Phil M Jones, purchased in Seattle Airport on 12/27/2019
(Almost three hours' reading. )
As the author stated in the opening words section, there were several reasons you might find this book useful and informal, at a surprisingly unique perspective (techniques based on persuading subconsciously). No matter if you are a professional sales, who want to sharpen your skills; or you are building your own business and feeling the obligation and necessity to take a closer look inside of the tactics of business language. If not, I guess you are like me, together with most other readers, hoping to learn some methods to express yourselves in an accurate way and make effects with your ideas. The vocabulary of this small book should be friendly to beginners of English originals.
I will make some examples with what I have learnt from Exactly What to Say below:
1. I'm not sure if it's for you, but... [no pressure here, but you would want to check this out] I'm not sure if it's for you, but I really find this book interesting and easy to follow.
2. Open-minded [everybody wants to be open-minded] How open-minded are you about spending only 15 mins a day reading this book?
3. What do you know? [you might want to use this question when you're attempting to introduce new concepts; to question the knowledge on which the other person's opinion was found] What do you know about our organization?
4. How would you feel if? [give people motivations to start, usually people will work far harder to avoid potential losses] How would you feel if you would make more money, utilizing these language skills from this book?
5. Just imagine... [he points out that we make every decision at least twice, "In fact, for a decision to come true, you must have first at least imagined yourself doing it."] Just imagine the look on your kids' faces when they see you achieve this.
6. When would be a good time? [people just postpone timing to make decisions and being procrastinated. This open question would lead other person to assume there will be a good time and "no" is not an option] So, when would be a good time to start investing in yourself?
I am guessing you haven't got around to this book yet? For more astonishing business language skills, definitely check this one out. I believe that you won't regret it!
