They have a couple of salespeople, who sit around and occasionally sell a web site every once in a while. But the vast bulk is through referrals; the people who run the agency really know the lingo and jargon behind the financial business, and it just makes them that much more of an obvious choice to work with...it's everything you're saying! The followup thought I had was that this was a good test for hiring a senior salesperson, how well they can speak to the people you want to sell to!

It's one of the ways of internalizing jardon! Asking about it to make it your own. Chris, I've done that sometimes, and I get teased. Luckily, I enjoy being teased by friends. :) Dave, asking questions is great! It’s one of the ways of internalizing jardon! Asking about it to make it your own.

When I come home or am out with friends/family and describe concepts relevant to my field, I tend to use vernacular they are not familiar with.

I like listening to jargon, but never really thought about trying to absorb it. I wonder if this is at the root of why I never absorbed languages and some technical fields, because I didn't accept the jargon first. I've thought that as I relearn these things again, I will just accept whatever people say at face value first to learn the patterns, instead of asking so many darn questions :-) I like this idea a lot…thanks for writing it!
