Throw this into any agent and thank me later: “I need you speak more concisely and directly for me. Use bullet points when possible. Your job is to save me time and take things of my plate. And a HUGE component of that is brevity + clarity in communications. Make sure this is a pillar of our team”

startups, here's enterprise decoded ... 1. 'circle back' = dead 2. 'get it done asap' = 60-90 days 3. 'send me what I can share internally' = 3 bullets 4. 'this is exciting' = let me play a role where I can show how I helped shape this for us internally 5. 'send me your paper' = i will send you mine back OR be prepared for 4-6 iterations on your paper 6. 'how much time is needed' = 30min OR less 7. 'I will bring my boss, who's joining on your side' = I expect you to match seniority -- ie. your founder 8. 'No questions from my side" = I have no idea what just happened 9. 'This price seems fair' = this falls below what I had budgeted 10. 'Give me time' = stop following up mf-er, I'm on it
