HOW TO TALK ABOUT IDEAS

      HOW ABOUT THIS FOR AN IDEA... HERE'S WHAT I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT... I'VE GOT SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO SHARE ON THIS POINT ONE WAY OF LOOKING AT THIS WOULD BE TO...      

HOW TO SUGGEST AN IDEA

    WE COULD HOLD A BIG PROMOTIONAL EVENT. I THINK THERE ARE A FEW WAYS WE COULD CUT COSTS. WHAT IF WE BOUGHT THE BUILDING INSTEAD OF RENTING IT? WHY DON'T WE MAKE A MOBIL VERSION OF THE WEBSITE?  

HOW TO ASK PEOPLE WHAT THEY THINK

  HOW DOES EVERYONE FEEL ABOUT THAT? WHAT'S YOUR VIEW ON THIS, DAVE? HOW DOES THAT SOUND? ANYONE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS?    

HOW TO AGREE WITH IDEAS

    YES, I THINK THAT COULD WORK. I CAN SUPPORT THAT. YOU'VE BROUGHT UP A REALLY IMPORTANT POINT HERE. THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO ME.

HOW TO AGREE STRONGLY WITH IDEAS

    I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF. I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE. THAT'S THE BEST IDEA I'VE HEARD ALL DAY.  

HOW TO EXPRESS NEUTRAL FEELING

  WELL, I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE ABOUT THAT YET. I COULD GO EITHER WAY ON THIS. I THINK THERE ARE PROS AND CONS TO BOTH OPTIONS. TO ME, IT'S A TOSS-UP.

HOW TO DISAGREE WITH IDEAS

    I'M NOT SURE THAT'S THE BEST OPTION HERE. I'M AFRAID I DON'T TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. TO BE HONEST, I THINK THAT WOULD BE DIFFICULT. WELL, THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST WAY TO GO.  

"YES ... BUT" APPROACH

    GOOD IDEA, BUT NOBODY HAS  THE TIME TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT I'M NOT SURE I CAN AGREE. ALTHOUGH IT COSTS LESS, I REALLY DON'T THINK IT'S AS GOOD.    

STRONGLY DISAGREEMENT

    DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT WOULD WORK? THAT'S OUT OF THE QUESTION. THERE'S NO WAY WE COULD DO IT. YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING
