Five Phrases That Will Help You Sell Your Ideas
Small language changes may seem insignificant, but incorporating (включать) these six phrases can help you communicate how confident and fully invested you are.
1. “I believe”– much stronger choice than the related–but weaker–phrase “I think.”
2. “I know”– if you are leading a team, and someone says, “I’m not sure I can get that report to you in time,” a good leader might respond, “I know you can,” or, “I know you’ll do your best.” It really works motivationally.
3. “I am confident” – provides a natural way to pitch a point (внести предложение) or an initiative.When you hear someone say, “I am confident that this plan will deliver,” you’ll listen carefully to what follows and likely consider the proposal more seriously.
4. “I envision”– this expression allows you to transport your audience from the present to the future. Such a statement provides a big-picture perspective.
5. “I get it”– when someone says to you, “I get it,” they’re showing you they have heard, understand, and believe in what you are saying. This is a powerful response, because it assures the speaker that her point has registered.
