Strategic use of language for positive impact
The use of the word 'but' should be avoided as it negates what was said prior and draws attention away from the positive aspects. Instead, using 'but' sparingly and purposefully can be powerful, especially when followed by a constructive statement or question. By framing statements or requests with 'I'm not sure if it's for you, but...' or 'Are you open to...', it can effectively focus the listener's attention on the ask and increase the likelihood of a positive response, making it a valuable tool in various contexts such as sales pitches, casual conversations, or professional interactions.
