Suggestions are vital in any business or marketing team. Saying the wrong phrase or even using the wrong words however can lead to your peers and employers automatically rejecting your idea before they even hear it. You should always start off your idea with affirmation. Let your peers know that you are confident that your idea will work. If you don’t believe in it, they won’t.
