Big Little ThingsHow to be a better lover (part 3 of 8)
Here’s part 3 of our sex manual for business. (Part 1) (Part 2)
Today’s post is about how to talk people into bed with you.
Talk dirty to me
Imagine you’re in bed with your lover, who turns to you and says, “Baby, I’m gonna leverage our synergy tonight.”
Does that make you want to get it on?
If you’re like most of us, probably not. And there’s the rub. Using cold language to woo warm bodies just doesn’t work, but lots of companies use it anyway. They’re stuck in the idea that it’s better to be impressive than to be approachable, that big talk is better than pillow talk. These companies fail to see that they could get a lot more love by being a little more human.
The more you talk like a lover, the more action you’ll get. So drop the industry jargon and the formal tone, and think hard about whether your language pulls people in. You’ll make more new relationships, and you’ll make your old ones stronger.
The good news is that you already know how to talk this way. In fact, you do it all the time with the people you care about. You do it because you want them to know you. And you want them to know you care.
