    You probably realise how the wrong tone of voice and negative body language can cause problems when dealing with other people, particularly customers and staff. However, using the wrong words can also cause problems.

    There are certain "trigger" words that cause people to become more difficult especially in emotionally charged situations and they should be avoided. These include:

    *I'll try - as in - "I'll try and speak to finance department today"

    *But - as in - "I agree with what you're saying but…….."

    *Sorry - as in - "I'm sorry 'bout that"

    "What DO I say I hear you cry?"

    Instead of the words "Have to" which are very controlling type words, why not try - "Are you willing to…" or just a straight - "Will you…."

    Can't, can be replaced with - "I'm unable to because…."

    "But" is a word that contradicts what was said before it, replace it with - "And" or "However" (which is a soft 'but')

    Instead of saying "but" you could leave it out altogether. For example; instead of - "I agree with what you're saying but I can't help you" use - "I agree with what you're saying. The reason I'm unable to help you is……"
