Last week we talked about the importance of avoiding jargon when speaking to customers. So here’s a quick rundown of some typical jargon-packed phrases your employees are probably using along with recommendations for what they should say instead.

Instead of…I don’t know Use…I’d be glad to find out for you.

Instead of…My goal is to get you into a car today. Use…My goal is to help you find the perfect solution for your situation.

Instead of…Here’s the problem Use…Here’s what I can do…

Instead of…How much are you looking to spend? Use…Let’s work together to find a vehicle that fits your budget.

Instead of…T.O. Use…Introduce/Introduction

Instead of…Pencil Use…Proposal

Instead of…F&I Use…Business Office

Instead of…Up Use…Customer
