This week on Trade Secrets, friend of the podcast Jenn Lee of Travel Planners International returns to talk about the kind of language travel advisors shouldn't use when talking to clients. Co-hosts Jamie Biesiada and Emma Weissmann perform a sample dialogue for Jenn, and she takes Jamie, posing as an advisor, to task for all of her negative language ("I add value," "What's your budget?"). Jenn talks about why words matter, and the fact that, in her words, "People buy on emotion and justify logically."
