I am not your bro

A lot of it depends on the type of service, what the customers are paying & your communication style.


This ^^ or think of a client / going into a job interview and your first words are " Wass Up Bro " then wondering why the guy wanting to spend $10k a month didn't give you the contract.
 
My pet hate is the classic "plz suggest me" which tool to use etc. Suggest me....
 
In Asia, we tend to refer someone Bro (bigger bro) as a form of respectn not that you are really our brother.

Why does this annoy you so much though?
 
Dear sir bro sir,

I always experience this, if I am talking to Indians. (Not being racist or something like that - I have indian friends).

Just saying that they tend to say sir and bro a lot of times.

Ok I'm Indian, teach me. If I say Sir or Bro and you get annoyed and won't give me business, how do I address clients?


Depends on the situation, most of my selling over the decades has been face to face and in the UK.

So you'd see the receptionist and sau " I've got a 10 o'clock meeting with Mr John Smith"

As you enter the room, shake his hand and introduce yourself.
Then first time you speak to him call him Mr Smith. Chances are he'd then say for you to call him 'John' then it goes from there.


Over the phone;
Ask to speak to Mr John Smith, then start off with good morning sir...... ( Just use sir the first time, then Mr Smith if you need to do so in the call ).
Wait to see if you're invited onto first name terms.

It's something you pick up over the years, it comes with experience and also to a degree the industry you're working in.

Personally I prefer people I work with to call me David, doesn't matter if you're a freelancer I use just once or on a regular basis.
 
Hello or HI
Works just fine
Don't use dear anything, that's for letters to your sweetheart.
When I see sir I instantly think a foreigner is writing me,
Never use bro except in person or after meeting a person, really informal.
And I might cut you if you say brah ever
 
I don't know why ... but 50/50 clients call me "bro". Their emails are very weird, like "bro, bro activate now, bro i need dat, bro bro". More "normal" users are using bro too.
Some guys can multiple "bro" with "Sir", what is even more weird because construction Sir bro or bro Sir is oxymoron.

I am not your bro ;(
sorry dear sir vinku, won't call you bro again, babe
