I’ve been following a discussion on LinkedIn’s BtoB Marketing Group about the Business Buzzwords you love to hate. It’s an animated thread, and I’ve had a lot of fun finding out about the words people would like to ban from our business vocabulary. Personally, I’m tired of hearing about buckets and silos, low hanging fruit and industry-leading, end-to-end solutions. But that’s enough about me. Here are 10 irritating words or phrases that cause some of the other BtoB group members to rant:
1. Moving Forward
2. Transparency
3. Next-Generation
4. Best-in-Class
5. Benchmark
6. Value-Add
7. Visibility
8. Long Tail
9. Win-Win
10. Facetime
Now it’s your turn. Tell me about your five most hated buzzwords. You may be guilty of using them yourself, or ready to strangle a colleague who can’t stop spouting them…
