Please select applicable cliché.

Well there's no doubt about it. It was a game of TWO HALVES / FOUR QUARTERS. You know, you've got to give full credit to THE OPPOSITION / THE TEAM, everyone gave 110% / THEIR ALL. We knew THEY'D COME OUT HARD / GIVE IT THEIR ALL so we just STUCK TO OUR GAME PLAN / CONCENTRATED ON PUTTING OUR BEST FOOT FORWARD.

BEING TRUTHFUL / TO BE HONEST / LOOK, IF I WERE TO BE TRUTHFUL, the whole game FELL APART / WAS WON, you know, in the basics and I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY / PUT MY HAND UP / TAKE CREDIT / STAND UP AND BE COUNTED for the WIN / LOSS. 

You know, a couple of decisions probably went against US / THEM, but that's THE NATURE OF THE GAME / BULLSHIT. I mean, NO POINT CRYING OVER SPILT MILK / FAIR GO, MATE. The WIN / LOSS gives both sides something to work towards in ORIGIN 2 / NEXT ROUND / THE TRIBUNAL / MY NEXT COURT APPEARANCE. 

At the end of the day, EVERY GAME COUNTS / WE TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME / WE WILL ANALYSE THE BREAKDOWNS GOING FORWARD AND TRY TO IMPROVE ONE STEP AT A TIME BECAUSE THE SEASON'S NOT OVER 'TIL IT'S OVER you know?

How to Engage Key Deliverables

For me personally, it only took three hours of retail sales training to achieve this outcome. © 2013

Phrases and buzzwords I've heard recently that I shouldn't have:

• Incentify
• Solution sell
• Continuous improvement
• Positive selling
• Value add
• Time-poor
• Expectation management

It doesn't seem to matter whether they're a sportsman, corporate manager, retailer, university lecturer or Minister of the Crown, they are all, ultimately, at the end of the day, achieving the same outcome in terms of language use. In this increasingly competitive marketplace, there seem to be fewer unique selling propositions or key points of difference to attract the interest of key stakeholders by means of best-practice language utilization. The only solution is to implement a sustainable long-term strategy in order to facilitate effective growth, end-to-end.

Be engaged, be very engaged.
