Sales Language
If the best way to interact with customers is to be customer-centred, it naturally follows that in doing so you should be using their language, not yours.
The language you use should appeal to customers and make meanings clearer and unambiguous, so listen to the language the customer is using and try
to use it yourself.
Part of convincing the customer to buy from you rather than from a competitor is your communication of the sincerity with which you believe in what
you are selling.
And whilst analogies are extremely useful in getting points and explanations across, using inappropriate analogies will be counter-productive.
So there is no 'Sales Language', no 'Sales English', no 'Marketing Language' even, that magically makes people buy from you! In the context
of a sale language is dictated by the way the prospective customer prefers to communicate.
The best advice, however, when it comes to Sales Language is, "Talk less, sell more!"
