327 What to THINK to Avoid Saying the 26 Banned Sales Words and Phrases
from The Art of Sales with Art Sobczak · host Art Sobczak
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. In this episode, I'll show you how to eliminate insecure language by fixing the thinking behind it—and I'll give you a simple pre-call checklist that will change how you show up on every call.
