1) Opportunity
Opportunity always implies Multi Level Selling to most people. Used in Amway for years people are quite familiar with this term. Better to use “Make some extra cash”.
2) Offer
Offer always implies sales and it is highly connected to “Shady Sales”. Instead use “We will or I will Give You”. Far more positive.
3) Sell. People do not like to be sold. Instead use “Get for you”.
4) Purchase. People do not want to purchase anything but they like to “Get Stuff”.
5) Buy. People like to acquire stuff or get stuff but they do not want to buy.
6) Cost. This is such a negative word. People do not like costs. Instead use “one time fee” or “no charge” or “payment”.
7) Take. People know they have to pay for what they take. Rather say “I can get that for you”.
8) Pay. People do not like to Pay the Price. Instead use “Give us or Give me”
Avoid these Bad Sales Words at all costs.
