The ambiguity of words

“There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words.”—Thomas Reid

Lately, I’ve received a bunch of messages in which the authors conflate terms that need to be clearly differentiated if you want to grow your profits.

For example:

• Value pricing and value billing
• Mentoring and coaching
• Strategy and tactics
• Deliverable and benefits
• Maintenance contract and retainer agreement

Confusing any of these is problematic, so I invite you to visit my student glossary to get my take on the specific meaning of these (and a boatload of other) terms.

It’s a lot to take in. Please let me know if you questions.

Yours,
