Keep the market's vocabulary even if you dislike it

When buyers already have a framing for the thing you are launching, adopt it rather than inventing your own, however imprecise theirs is. Coining new vocabulary hands the reader a translation exercise before they reach anything you wanted to say.


The method

  1. 01

    Keep familiar language for a new data feature even when you dislike the framing, because inventing your own vocabulary makes users do translation work.
