▸ Avoid saying 'I will just try to call them, sir/ma'am' as it sounds unconfident. Instead, state clearly: 'I will initiate contact calls to introduce our property and qualify their needs.'
▸ Don't over-apologize with phrases like 'Sorry po, wala na talaga' which can weaken your position. Instead, say: 'I understand your concern. Let me show you options that deliver the same value.'
▸ Steer away from saying 'Bahala na, kakayanin' because it implies risky improvisation. Instead, say: 'I will use a prioritized tracker and set clear milestones to manage the workload reliably.'
▸ Avoid saying 'Pasensya na po, mabagal talaga' as it blames the company and sounds unprofessional. Instead, frame it as: 'I will keep you informed of each step and work internally to move things along as quickly as possible.'
