Retiring Cliches

A little while back I wrote about retiring the marketing line Priced To Sell.

Seth Godin, master marketer, author and blogger put up on his Squidoo site a list of overused business cliches.

On the other hand, the vast majority of buzzwords exist for one reason: to hide. By obfuscating, lying, confusing or just plain avoiding the issue, business people can avoid communicating. Do you have the guts to stop using cliches?

Seth’s Top 10

1. Thinking outside the box
2. a win-win situation
3. at the end of the day
4. best practices
5. paradigm shift
6. synergy
7. giving 110%
8. paradigm
9. low hanging fruit
10. a leading provider

I’m still looking for overused Realtor lines. Add them to the Priced To Sell blog or leave a comment here.
