Exactly What to Say
The Magic Words for Influence and Impact
by Phil M. Jones
Who This Book Is For
An ideal reader of Exactly What to Say is someone who works in environments where influence, persuasion, or decision-making happens daily—but who often feels their words don’t land as intended. This book is particularly suited for professionals in sales, recruiting, fundraising, or leadership, but also valuable for anyone who needs to guide conversations without sounding pushy. The ideal reader is pragmatic, not looking for lofty theory, but for practical scripts they can test immediately. They may be early in their career and searching for confidence, or experienced but frustrated by stalled conversations, objections, or indecision. They value small, repeatable techniques over complex models, and they’re willing to practice simple, memorable lines until they become natural. Most importantly, the ideal reader sees persuasion as service—not manipulation—and wants to help others make decisions faster, easier, and with less friction, while protecting dignity on both sides.
