There was a time when those in professional services were socialized to, well, "speak like professionals." Currently, we run if the professional services representatives talk formally. " The tax experts used formal language and formal terms about IRS regulations. Lawyers would do the same the legal system.    We in communications would pontificate about perception, even throwing in some statistics from the latest research. That was then.

I took the call and quickly hung up when I got to the front so that I could pay for my shopping. The shopping assistant was surprised that I had hung up to speak to her. She told me that it was the first time that had happened, and everybody else just carried on speaking on the phone while they paid; as if she did not exist.
