Welcome back to “Irresistible
Comunication”, two minutes, twice a week.
2
:No nonsense advice for
leadership communication.
3
:Picture this: you're addressing
your customers to tell them
4
:about your newest launch.
5
:You're proud as hell of what
you've built and rightly so.
6
:Now, how often do you find
“We” in your comunication?
7
:“We have achieved…”, “We
believe …”, “We are committed
8
:to …”. It sounds inclusive, right?
9
:But here's the twist.
10
:To your customer, it
can sound self-centered.
11
:Every “We” can unintentionally
create a divide?
12
:It emphasizes your perspective,
your achievements, your beliefs,
13
:but what about the customer?
14
:Where do they fit into this narrative?
15
:Now let's turn the tables.
16
:Imagine you're the customer.
17
:You hear a company repeatedly seeing “We”
and you start wondering: what about me?
18
:How does this benefit me?
19
:This is where the danger lies.
20
:Overusing “We” can alienate the
very people you're trying to engage.
21
:So, here's a challenge for you: for
the next week, consciously replace
22
:some of those “We’s” with “You’s”.
23
:Instead of “We have created
a new product”, try a version
24
:that starts with “You…”.
25
:Shift the focus from what you are
doing to what your customer can gain.
26
:This subtle shift can create
a world of a difference.
27
:It moves your communication from
company centric to customer centric.
28
:It shows empathy, understanding,
and a commitment to adding
29
:value to your customer's life.
30
:Remember: communication is a bridge.
31
:Overuse “We” and you risk
building a one-way street.
32
:But balance “We” with “You” and
watch how the dynamics change.
33
:Don't persuade harder, resonate stronger!
34
:That's how you make your communication
truly irresistible to your customers.
35
:Keep lighting the path and
share this with a friend!
