There are some simple alternatives to overused business jargon
Let’s hit the ground running. At the end of the day. Let’s leverage our synergies.
Business jargon.
It’s unclear. It’s useless. It’s underwhelming.
“Jargon masks real meaning. People use it as a substitute for thinking hard and clearly about their goals and the direction that they want to give others.” — Jennifer Chatman, a management professor at the University of California-Berkeley’s Haas School of Business
If you use ambiguous language, you risk the chance that others don’t trust your message.
When you use clichéd corporate speak, you let your audience know that you are thinking about yourself, not them.
Don’t use buzzwords. Concentrate on making a clear point.
Many business words and phrases are overused. They are imprecise and unhelpful. They don’t make much of an impact.
If you seek alternatives to business jargon, you can make a better and more compelling case for your business audience. Use an everyday speaking vocabulary that can help you be more persuasive.
