Automated jargon #RIPJargon

It sounds like it could be a song...It is... It's the song on the radio that plays so much you are in tune to anticipate what is next.

It's no longer fresh anymore, its dated.... Same can go for the canned responses we all use.

"Best regard"
"We regret to inform you"
" Although...."

I understand it may take time to write up a sincere message, but that part should NEVER be automated.  I refuse to send the same email to every single prospect or person I talk to.

What happen to the passion of showing yourself as well as the product or idea?  The spontaneity in conversations is disappearing as we all look for the short cuts to connect.

There has not been a short cut to connecting with people.  Connection is the very reason people look at their relationships as pieces on a chess board.  It's the reason certain people you know rarely let you in their network.  A lot of hard work went into building those relationships and one wrong word can end it.

Fell free to chime in.
