What if the biggest thing holding your networking back isn't your confidence...it's a few everyday phrases you're using without even realizing it?
In this solo episode of Business Networking and Referrals, Faithann Basore shares four common phrases she's completely removed from her networking conversations, emails, and business communication—and explains what to say instead.
These small language shifts create clearer invitations, stronger relationships, and more opportunities because they keep conversations moving forward instead of leaving them stuck.
If you're growing your business through referrals, networking, or relationship marketing, this episode will help you communicate with greater confidence and intention.
In This Episode You'll Learn:
- Why "Let me know if..." often stops conversations instead of starting them.
- A better alternative that naturally moves people toward the next step.
- Why "I hope..." weakens your emails more than you realize.
- The surprising problem with saying, "I know you're busy..."
- Why apologizing for asking questions can quietly undermine your confidence.
- Simple phrases that create momentum instead of hesitation.
- How to become the person who creates opportunities instead of waiting for them.
One of the biggest ideas from this episode is this:
Be the current that moves conversations forward—not the stagnant water that leaves opportunities waiting.
Whether you're inviting someone to coffee, following up after a networking meeting, asking for a referral, or simply writing better emails, these communication shifts can change the way people respond to you.
