When you're selling a product or service, you don't have - it doesn't have to be absolutely perfect, although I've provided language that is. When you're a politician, one wrong word changes the entire - changes the meaning of something.

I don't understand why people whose entire lives or their corporate success depends on communication, and yet they are led on occasion by CEOs who cannot talk their way out of a paper bag and don't care to.
Frank Luntz
This book [ Win] is based on the interviews with three dozen Fortune 400 - or Forbes 400, the richest people, and a couple dozen of the top CEOs.I wanted to know what language they use to be successful, and I wanted to know the attributes that could then be applied to the average individual.

Most voters would rather have their purse or wallet stolen than be audited by the IRS.
Frank Luntz
The best advertising and the best communication when it comes to business is that which makes you smile, that which makes you think, that which makes you ponder.
Frank Luntz
Win is about the specific use of specific words to connect you to your employer or employees, politicians to voters - and frankly, to help people win debates, have discussions, and improve the level of communication.
Frank Luntz
Writing a book is the most difficult, anxiety-prone aspect of my life because the words that I put on paper are very serious to me.

I tell this joke about Barack Obama is the best communicator of our generation: The guy reads a teleprompter better than any Hollywood actor. John McCain, his opponent - Stevie Wonder reads a teleprompter better than John McCain.
Frank Luntz
It has to be simple, but then you deliver them a principle: The simple truth is, as a matter of principle, we cannot spend more than we take in. Something - that changes the tone of the debate.
Frank Luntz
You need good principles and good language if you are to succeed.
Frank Luntz
Believe in better, which is a corporate phrase rather than a political phrase. We don't want more. We're not looking for quantity. We're looking for quality. Believe in better suggests intergenerational change. It suggests product innovation. It suggests something better for the future.
Frank Luntz
When I wrote Win, it only took about eight months, but eight months of sheer pain and suffering because every phrase that's in there - and there are about 130 specific linguistic recommendations - I had to test every one to make sure that it worked.

It's not what you say, it's what people hear.

With all due respect to UPS - it's a fine company - nobody cares about logistics. They care about that package arriving at their home, at their office, when it is supposed to and in the condition it's supposed to. FedEx is a much better communicator than UPS.
Frank Luntz
The public wants to know why or why not. They don't want to know how you're going to do it.
Frank Luntz
Your words have power. Find words that unite. Find words that unify.
Frank Luntz
Nothing guarantees more applause and more support than the call to abolish the IRS.
Frank Luntz
Rick Scott used let's get to work to say: All these politicians talk it's time to do. Everybody else talks about the problem it's time to find the solution.
Frank Luntz
The perfect opening is the word imagine, because imagine allows you to communicate in the eyes and the vision of the listener rather than yours. And the best illustration of that is 1984. Room 101 in 1984 - everyone's read it, and we all have our own imagination of what that looks like.
Frank Luntz
The most powerful call to action of anything that we've ever tested: Let's get to work.I didnt create that phrase. It came from Rick Scott, the current governor of Florida.
Frank Luntz
What the people now respond - and the goal of those ads is to merely get the name of the medication into the minds of the consumers so that they will ask their doctor about it. That's the whole goal.
