Want to Sound Professional?

A rule of thumb is when in conversations, the less you generalise or stereotype, the more credibile you will be. Also the more neutral you are in conversations and ask questions than attack someone's opinion, the less likely people could argue with you. To note, this is not a technique to per...suade someone, but it is a strategy to keep yourself out of arguements, make you sound professional, and is a barrier for someone to attack the your comments.

For example, instead of saying "doing marketing this way proves more efficient than the other method". You should say "So can you give me some reasons why you think the old method would be more efficient and effective?" or "I think both methods are very good, but how would the old method be better than the new one?"
