In business, small talk can build rapport.
But in negotiations?
Every word can cost—or save—millions.
If your English is shaky, you don’t just risk embarrassment. You risk losing leverage, trust, and outcomes.
Business English is not about sounding fluent.
It’s about sounding decisive.
Native-like fluency won’t save you in the boardroom if your phrasing makes you sound uncertain.
Confidence is not a personality trait—it’s a linguistic strategy.
And professionals who master the right expressions consistently win better deals.
Why This Matters
Studies on negotiation show that perceived confidence increases the likelihood of favorable outcomes, even when the underlying proposals are identical.
In other words: the language of authority can tilt the balance of power.
