at a company, if you’re doing business with people, you need to be fluent in business English.</strong></h3>\n<p>And if you’ve ever heard any business English expressions commonly used in the workplace, you already know that most of them are very… well, illogical. Phrases like “let’s circle back” or “I just wanted to touch base” feel like they’re referring to geometry or sports rather than a business situation.</p>\n<p>But no, they’re part of the widely accepted corporate jargon. And despite how snarky they may sometimes feel, they’re considered polite, formal, and respectful.</p>\n<p>Ready to get fluent in corporate speak?</p>\n<p>That’s great because we’ve prepared a long list of business English words for every situation - from office small talk to industry-specific business terms.</p>\n\n<h2>The importance of business vocabulary</h2>\n<p>Whether you’re at a networking event, an office team meeting, or trying to close an important deal with a client, you need to handle corporate conversations. Without proper business English vocabulary, you’ll quickly find yourself swimming in the sea of corporate jargon and unfamiliar terms.</p>\n<p>Becoming fluent in business English and corporate terms will help you handle business conversations with more confidence and make a lasting impression on your boss, coworkers, or clients.</p>\n<p>Plus, it’ll help you avoid embarrassing situations. Imagine inadvertently breaching a contract because you didn’t fully understand something or making a mistake in a project because you misunderstood what the client wanted.</p>\n<p>Knowing a few basic business terms can save you from drowning in embarrassment or legal issues.</p>\n\n<h2>50 common business English words and phrases</h2>\n<p>English is the lingua franca of business. It’s the most common language we use to do business with each other, regardless of our culture, ethnicity, or native tongue.</p>\n<p>That’s why many languages use English terms to talk about marketing or sales concepts. Even if you’re not a native English speaker, you may already know terms like A/B testing, SEO, or branding because your native language uses them too.</p>\n<p>But regardless of the growing number of English business terms used in other languages, the English corporate jargon still has many words and expressions you should learn if you plan on doing business with English speakers.</p>\n<h3><strong>Everyday business vocabulary</strong></h3>\n<p>Even if you’re not business-savvy (it’s ok if you aren’t!), knowing the most common words and phrases used in everyday business interactions is a must.</p>\n<p>You’ll need them when introducing yourself to a new client or while talking with your coworkers at the office.</p>\n<p>Here’s a list of everyday business vocabulary that’ll come in handy whenever you want to gossip with your coworkers or complain about your workload to your office buddy.</p>","wrapped":false,"hidden":false,"full_width":false,"align_center":false,"join_block_below":true}},{"content_area":{"content":"<h4><strong>1. ASAP (As Soon As Possible):</strong></h4>\n<p>To do something ASAP means to do it fast, with urgency. <em>Ex.: \"I need to submit the report ASAP so we can review it before the meeting tomorrow.\"</em></p>\n<h4><strong>2. Backburner:</strong></h4>\n<p>To put something on the backburner means to set aside tasks or projects for a while. <em>Ex.: \"We’ve put this project on the backburner for now.\"</em></p>\n<h4><strong>3. Balls in the air:</strong></h4>\n<p>No, it’s not what you think it is. If you have multiple tasks or responsibilities to handle at the same time, you have many \"balls in the air.\" <em>Ex.: \"With the upcoming deadline and client meetings, I have a lot of balls in the air right now.\"</em></p>\n<h4><strong>4. Too much on my plate:</strong></h4>\n<p>When you feel overwhelmed or have too many tasks or responsibilities, you have \"too much on your plate.\" <em>Ex.: \"I can't take on any more projects at the moment; I already have too much on my plate.\"</em></p>\n<h4><strong>5. Bandwidth:</strong></h4>\n<p>We’re not referring to a radio. Bandwidth is a person's capacity or availability to take on additional tasks or projects. <em>Ex.: \"I’d love to help, but I don't have the bandwidth right now.\"</em></p>\n<h4><strong>6. Boil the ocean:</strong></h4>\n<p>If we “boiled the ocean,” we just took on an overly ambitious task that’s unlikely to succeed. <em>Ex.: \"Let's focus on smaller goals instead of trying to boil the ocean with this project.\"</em></p>\n<h4><strong>7. Brain dump:</strong></h4>\n<p>In other words, putting lots of ideas on paper. <em>Ex.: \"I did a quick brain dump and came up with an awesome idea.\"</em></p>\n<h4><strong>8. Deliverables:</strong></h4>\n<p>These are the tangible results or outputs that are expected from a project or task. <em>Ex.: \"What are our deliverables for this month?\"</em></p>\n<h4><strong>9. Game changer:</strong></h4>\n<p>A game changer means something that has the potential to impact or transform a situation significantly. <em>Ex.: \"This new organization tool I’m using is a game changer for me!\"</em></p>\n<h4><strong>10. Good to go:</strong></h4>\n<p>When something is “good to go,” it’s ready. <em>Ex.: \"The proposal I’ve been working on is good to go for today’s presentation.\"</em></p>\n<h4><strong>11. Herding cats:</strong></h4>\n<p>This expression doesn’t mean that someone is literally herding dozens of cats in their apartment. It’s just a weird way to say you’re trying to manage people or tasks that are difficult to manage. <em>Ex.: \"Coordinating the different departments' schedules for this project feels like herding cats.\"</em></p>\n<h4><strong>12. Run up the flagpole:</strong></h4>\n<p>Running something up the flagpole means presenting an idea, proposal, or plan to gather feedback. <em>Ex.: \"I haven’t finished the project yet, because I still need to run it up the flagpole.”</em></p>\n<h4><strong>13. Throw under the bus:</strong></h4>\n<p>This is a common expression you might have heard in another context. It means to unfairly blame or sacrifice someone for your own benefit or to avoid responsibility. <em>Ex.: \"John tried to throw me under the bus by blaming me for the mistake during the presentation.\"</em></p>\n<h4><strong>14. Micromanage:</strong></h4>\n<p>Micromanaging can be the most annoying thing in the workplace! It’s the practice of excessive or unnecessary control over small details of tasks or projects. <em>Ex.: \"I’m so annoyed with Susan! She micromanages everything I do.”</em></p>\n<h4><strong>15. Let go:</strong></h4>\n<p>These are probably the two scariest words in the office! When someone has been “let go,” they were fired. <em>Ex.: “Have you heard? Jack was let go yesterday!”</em></p>\n<h4><strong>16. Keep me in the loop:</strong></h4>\n<p>When you ask someone to “keep you in the loop,” you ask them to keep you informed and included in the conversation. <em>Ex.: “Keep me in the loop! I want to know what’s going on between John and Susan!”</em></p>\n<h4><strong>17. Workflow:</strong></h4>\n<p>Workflow refers to the sequence of steps or tasks involved in completing a specific process or project. <em>Ex.: “The workflow for this project is insane… I don’t know how I’ll finish it on time!”</em></p>","wrapped":false,"hidden":false,"full_width":false,"align_center":false,"join_block_below":true}},{"reusable_blocks":{"reusable_blocks_entry":[{"modular_blocks":[{"call_to_action":{"icon":"UserQuestion","title":"Not Sure Where to Start?","subtitle":"<p>Every situation is different.

Circle back:</strong></h4>\n<p>When someone says, “Let’s circle back,” they want to discuss something again, or they’ll want to discuss it with you later.</p>\n<h4><strong>8. Going forward:</strong></h4>\n<p>It’s an expression used to move from one topic to another during a team meeting.</p>\n<h4><strong>9. Think outside the box:</strong></h4>\n<p>This is a popular idiom. But in the corporate setting, it simply means coming up with innovative ideas.</p>\n<h4><strong>10. Win-win situation:</strong></h4>\n<p>If something is a win-win situation, it’s an outcome or solution that benefits everyone involved. Everybody wins!</p>\n<h4><strong>11. Move the needle:</strong></h4>\n<p>If someone moved the needle, they made significant progress or achieved something that positively impacted the situation.</p>\n<h4><strong>12. Take it offline:</strong></h4>\n<p>I initially thought it meant to take the online conversation face-to-face. But no, it means to discuss something outside the current meeting so as not to go over the planned meeting time.</p>\n<h4><strong>13. Back to the drawing board:</strong></h4>\n<p>When someone wants to go back to the drawing board, they feel the need to start over. Mainly because something didn’t go as planned or they want to reevaluate the plan.</p>\n<h4><strong>14. Trim the fat:</strong></h4>\n<p>This funny expression means removing unnecessary elements to make something more streamlined or efficient.</p>\n<h4><strong>15. On the same page:</strong></h4>\n<p>When someone says, “Let’s make sure we’re on the same page,” they want to know whether you’re thinking alike.</p>\n<h4><strong>16. Deep dive:</strong></h4>\n<p>When someone wants to “deep dive” into something, they just want to explore the topic in detail.</p>\n<h4><strong>17. Ducks in a row:</strong></h4>\n<p>If your boss says, “Let’s get our ducks in a row,” it means they want to start getting organized to handle a task.</p>\n<h4><strong>18. On board:</strong></h4>\n<p>If you’re on board with something, you agree with it. If you don’t, you can always move the goalposts.</p>\n<h4><strong>19. Move the goalposts:</strong></h4>\n<p>If your manager wants to move the goalposts, they want to change something: the objectives, the scope, or the project requirements.</p>\n<h4><strong>20.

Silver bullet:</strong></h4>\n<p>A silver bullet is a simple or quick solution that solves a complex problem or achieves significant results.</p>\n<h4><strong>25. Cut corners:</strong></h4>\n<p>This is a popular idiom in everyday English, which means taking shortcuts. It’s usually done to save resources (like money or time), but it’s not always the best way.</p>\n<h4><strong>26. Call it a day:</strong></h4>\n<p>The phrase you’re looking forward to during the entire meeting! “Let’s call it a day” means the meeting is over. Hooray!</p>\n<h4><strong>27.

They aim to clarify things or gather more information.</p>\n<h4><strong>28. Closing remarks:</strong></h4>\n<p>The opposite of opening remarks.

The same goes for revenue and profit or marketing and advertising.</p>\n<p>What are the differences between them? Let us explain.</p>\n<h4><strong>Client vs. customer</strong></h4>\n<p>No, they’re not the same thing. There’s a subtle yet significant difference. A client is a person that buys a service. A customer is a person that buys a product.</p>\n<h4><strong>Collaboration vs. Cooperation</strong></h4>\n<p>Although used interchangeably by most people, there’s a not-so-subtle difference between these terms.</p>\n<p>Cooperation is when you work with other people to achieve your own goals. Collaboration, however, is when you work with others to accomplish a shared goal.</p>\n<h4><strong>Market share vs. Market penetration</strong></h4>\n<p>Unless you’re a marketing pro, these terms can be very confusing! They both talk about the percentage of the market the company claims, but by measuring different things.</p>\n<p>Market penetration is the percentage of the overall target audience the company sells to. Market share is more detailed and refers to the portion of the target market that buys the company’s products.</p>\n<h4><strong>Revenue vs. Profit</strong></h4>\n<p>Contrary to what many people think, these two terms aren’t interchangeable. Revenue is the total income a business generates through its operations. Profit is the income left after deducting the expenses the company has to incur to make revenue in the first place.</p>\n<h4><strong>Marketing vs. Advertising</strong></h4>\n<p>These two terms are often confused because they overlap. Advertising is part of marketing.</p>\n<p>Marketing is the practice of promoting your brand or products to your audience.
