Last episode I banned 26 sales words and phrases. But the truth is… banning the words isn't the solution. Because the words aren't the problem. They're the emotional "cover" salespeople use when they don't feel confident—apologies, permission-begging, softeners, and filler phrases that are designed to make the seller feel safer. Unfortunately, they do the opposite for the buyer.
