Can we agree not to say, "..."?

In the fine world of sales we often "circle back" with people after running questions "up the flag pole" and "opening the Kimono" to get a "deal into the endzone". I would love to discuss the most hated corporate BS sales-speak and ban such jargon from Bravado!

I'll start..."playing chess not checkers"...and go...

Common...if you think you are playing Chess then other people are playing Go...find them and get them on your team.
