Another great article Mark. I have to admit I was nodding when I read Sarah’s comment about how certain words attract the wrong audience, but the worst phrase by far is the dreaded “sells itself!” Seriously, I worked as a district manager for a direct sales company for a number of years and that term was nearly their undoing because way too many people jumped on board assuming meant they wouldn’t actually have – you know – work. Otherwise, spot on tips as always! 🙂

M that’s hilarious!
Seriously, it sounds like some of the situations that you’ve been involved
in over the years would make for some outrageously funny scenes in a comedy!
The audiences would constantly be roaring with laughter!LOLL!
But let’s face it, Sarah did make a very compelling point, which I for one don’t
easily dismiss!
Thanks as always for sharing your extremely valuable insights and for your continuous support!
I definitely truly appreciate both!
Great tips Mark, thanks for sharing them with us. I’d like to add to be careful who you want to attract in with the words that you use “proven” and “easy” tend to attract the worst in people at times.

That is some really spot on advice Sarah!
And your point is well taken! And boy is it the truth!
We both know and appreciate that there is a tsunami of individuals
constantly searching online that either want success (or something) as close to it as they can get
without working for it or they simply want it handed to them!
And those buzz words that you mentioned are all the bait they need!LOL!
Thanks for sharing such a keen insight! Much appreciated!
