Slang, or <a href=\"https:\/\/writingexplained.org\/grammar-dictionary\/slang\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">informal words that are made up by groups of people in society<\/a>, is constantly changing, which can make it very hard for a person who is learning English. Nobody wants to embarrass themselves by using a slang word that was cool ten years ago, especially in the office. Studying in an online English school isn\u2019t enough: if you want to sound more like a native speaker, you&#8217;ll need to stay current. Add these five cutting-edge business English words to your vocabulary today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Low-Hanging Fruit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If somebody says \u201clow-hanging fruit,\u201d they\u2019re not talking about an apple or an orange. \u201cLow-hanging fruit\u201d refers to tasks that are easy to do. You might be encouraged to pursue a \u201clow-hanging fruit\u201d task when you start your new career, as a confidence boost. And of course, thanks to all the hard work you\u2019ve done improving your business English skills, we know you\u2019ll do a great job at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deep Dive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No SCUBA tank required for this one! \u201cDeep dive\u201d is another phrase that has become increasingly more common in 2021. Not surprisingly, it refers to immersing yourself into a task. A \u201cdeep dive\u201d usually entails taking the time to spend a lot of time researching or examining a subject. More commonly, you&#8217;ll be researching work that someone else did. \u201cDeep dive\u201d is a way to learn more about best practices or find out some information that may help you succeed at a task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Agile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agile means \u201cable to move quickly and easily,\u201d but in the business world it refers to a company that is able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nojitter.com\/what-being-agile-company-means-and-why-it-matters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">quickly adapt to changes in the market or society.<\/a> In addition, agile employees are given the power to quickly and effectively respond to customer complaints and issues. In general, being agile is a good thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thought Leader<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThought leader\u201d is a phrase which is critically close to becoming a clich\u00e9, right along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recruiter.com\/i\/9-buzzwords-you-dont-want-to-ruin-your-job-descriptions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201crockstar,\u201d \u201cninja,\u201d and \u201cguru.\u201d<\/a> All of those were both super-overused long before \u201cthought leader\u201d came along! However, it\u2019s still a very common way to describe a person \u201cwhose views on a subject are important and influential.\u201d There are lots of real thought leaders in every subject, and a lot of people who think they\u2019re thought leaders when they aren\u2019t. It\u2019s up to you to know the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pivot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the dictionary, \u201cPivot\u201d refers to \u201cthe central point, pin, or shaft on which a mechanism turns\u201d. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/theyec\/2020\/07\/03\/how-to-pivot-successfully-in-business\/?sh=63250d4c7316\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">However, in the business world it refers to something quite different<\/a>. When you \u201cfundamentally change direction,\u201d you\u2019re pivoting. Some very successful companies have done this to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/362003\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">great success during Covid, like Best Buy and Spotify.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verbalize Now doesn\u2019t just want to be your <a href=\"https:\/\/verbalizenow.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online business English school<\/a>, we want to be your personal business English teacher.
