Common Conversation Mistakes
Recognize and avoid the most common Passport communication mistakes.
Small wording mistakes create confusion and reduce trust.
Most bad conversations are not dishonest — they are simply out of order.
Spotting the mistake in someone else's transcript is how you stop making it in yours.
Eight ways a good conversation goes wrong
Small wording mistakes create confusion and reduce trust.
Leading with price
Price without context always sounds expensive.
Features before needs
Educating before understanding turns it into a pitch.
Comparing to unrelated products
Wrong category, wrong expectations.
Using banned terminology
One wrong word can imply coverage that doesn't exist.
Promising coverage that doesn't exist
Trust is lost at the claim, not at the sale.
Recommending without discovery
A guess with a price attached.
Talking too much
Guidance is short. Pitches are long.
Ignoring customer questions
Unanswered questions become cancellations.
Name the mistake
Read each snippet and file it under the mistake it makes.
“It's only a few dollars a month — want me to add it?”
Rewrite the response
Conversation review
The customer asked which Membership to buy. Rewrite the poor response.
Preferred.
